Shen was published as a newsletter in print form between 1988 and 2007, to keep subscribers in touch with happenings and developments at PD Seminars and The Haven. Shen is now published as a blog on this website. Shen replaced Heartwood, which had been published by Cortes Center for Human Development, where Haven co-founders Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen led programs for a number of years.
Shen is the Heart Spirit in Classical Chinese Medicine.
