Ben Sheinwald has been a lead facilitator at Beckley Retreats since 2022 and writes from the room, not the desk. His formative training is in Biodynamic Body Psychotherapy, and he works in private practice in Somerset, UK. On retreat he is not acting in a licensed capacity, because Beckley does not provide medical treatment, but that training is what he brings to the group. Every post on the Beckley Retreats blog is checked against published research and reviewed before it goes live, and the posts that make health or safety claims carry a named expert reviewer. How we make and review our posts.
