Bernard "Ben" Willemsen is a teacher of a unique and ground-breaking path of personal and spiritual development. He has lectured internationally about psychic reality and the spirit world and has written a trilogy based on courses, workshops and personal development groups that he has led in the U.S. and Canada. Ben was born in Rotterdam in 1936, studied Ship Engineering in Amsterdam and immigrated to Canada where he worked for more than twenty years in the engineering field. At the age of 41, he experienced an extraordinary psychic journey that led him to his path and to many years of meditative discipline and study. Before fully swtiching from engineering to parapsychology, Ben was concurrently a guest lecturer on spiritual healing at the University of Winnipeg and a guest lecturer on Industrial Engineering Techniques at the University of Manitoba. In 1987, he and his wife and partner, Penny Margolis, founded the Centre for Human Energy, where Ben devoted himself to teaching and guiding others in their personal growth. For Ben, "human energy" referred to the energy frequencies of the physical body as well as those of the psyche. In 1999, he and Penny moved to Nova Scotia and built a new Centre for Human Energy Studies near Halifax where Ben continued to teach and counsel until his death in October 2011. Ben is the author of three highly-acclaimed books: Don’t Water the Stick: The Path of the Psyche (1996, 2nd ed: 1998, eBook 2009), Beyond a Shadow: The Path of the Spirit (1997, 2nd ed., 2004, eBook 2009) and Water Your Roots: Walking a Spiritual Path, 2009.
