"In the work of their own lives, Wong and McKeen have simply moved beyond the tedious debates that have separated the various schools of thought. Through their courage to confront the 'isnness' of their own experience they have detached themselves from the closed world views of philosophical prescriptions and, in their commitment to the integrity of their own truth, they have avoided the 'rightness' and 'wrongness' of academic psychologizing. Above all, within their own relationship, they have created a living experimental laboratory with standards of discipline and rigour capable of intimidating even the most zealous scientist-practitioner."

Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen
Bennet Wong, M.D., F.R.C.P.(c) received his psychiatric training at the Menninger School of Psychiatry. Jock McKeen, M.D., Lic.Ac.(UK) studied at the College of Chinese Acupuncture, Oxford, England. Since retiring from medical practice, Ben and Jock together have blended an in-depth approach to self- development aimed at integration of the individual in body, mind and spirit, emphasizing responsibility for the self in health, relationships and lifestyle. They are the founders of The Haven Resort, Seminar and Conference Centre and The Haven Institute for Professional Training, a licensed residential educational center in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, on the west coast of Canada.
In their 35 years of professional association together, they have been feature presenters at conferences and workshops around the world. They have traveled and taught extensively in Asia and Europe; they bring an ease with cross-cultural approaches to their work. Consultants to many agencies, corporations and groups, they have a wide experience in working with people in a variety of contexts. They have both served on the boards of major corporations.
Most of their approach has been derived from their intense investigation of their own relationship, as well as their experiences with their clients. In their unique, personable way, they create an atmosphere of intimacy and trust in which each person is able to transform in his or her own fashion.
In addition to their numerous articles in professional journals, they wrote The Transpersonal Experience Through Body Approaches, a chapter in Transpersonal Psychotherapy. Their books include A Manual for Life, As It Is In Heaven, In And Out Of Our Own Way, The Relationship Garden, The (New) Manual For Life and Health & Happiness.
These and other books can be purchased on-line from our store and, a sampling of their writing can be viewed on our articles page as well as in our periodical Shen
