Healing
Ourselves“Healing Ourselves- a Health & Wellness Call to Action” was held at the Historic Lincoln Theater on U Street, NW Washington, DC on Tuesday evening March 9, 2004. The purpose of the event was to inform and educate the public about alternative choices for healthcare, fitness and overall well being.

The purpose was also to motivate the public towards taking more personal responsibility for their health and well being. This event was free to the public and was the first in a series of events that the Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute presented at the Historic Lincoln Theater focusing on crucial issues affecting our community and our country.

Experts from holistic practices were invited and discussed the benefits of their practices. The alternative practitioners will consist of experts in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Chiropractic Practice, and Herbs. The conventional side consisted of an MD discussing Nutrition and Diet, a Dentist, Cardiologists and an HIV expert. The third group will consist of a Sociologist and Psychologist.

This was not a "which method is better" debate, but an opportunity to present to the public choices for healthier living and identify underlying causes of stress and illness which we may not know about.

WPFW 89.3 FM was our media sponsor.

The Hung Tao Choy Mei Kung Fu Academy opened the evening with a traditional Chinese Lion Dance for prosperity and good will, and their students will performed a brief demonstration. Also performing were Kid Caramel and the First FAMM, and Head-Roc with “Noyeek the Grizzly Bear", two local progressive rap groups.
