Henning Bensland
A life rebuilt through healing - connecting body, mind and spirit, and sharing what proved true along the way. Practical teachings, offered with an open heart, from Santanyí, Mallorca.
Who is Henning Bensland?
Henning was an active entrepreneur until, about 20 years ago, he was diagnosed with a serious autoimmune illness - a turning point that invited him to look more deeply at his life, his health, and what truly matters. Two earlier depressions had already shown him how much healing the psyche matters.
He travelled the world exploring different approaches to healing, and trained in body psychotherapy, psychotherapy and mindfulness. Today he works with methods that proved themselves on his own journey - connecting body, mind and spirit. His teachings are practical, and shared with an open heart.
In 2016, together with his wife Petra, he founded Cal Reiet in Santanyí, Mallorca - with the aim of creating a true holistic healing retreat.
What Henning works with
Body psychotherapy
Trained in body psychotherapy, Henning works with the body as the entry point to healing - practical, embodied methods that connect body, mind and spirit.
Psychotherapy
More recently he trained in psychotherapy based on a Buddhist perspective, drawing on traditions that formed part of his own healing journey.
Mindfulness
Henning holds a Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certificate, and embodies his own teaching through a daily Buddhist meditation practice he has kept for more than six years.
Cal Reiet
Cal Reiet Holistic Retreat is a haven of stillness on the edge of Santanyí, in the southeast of Mallorca. Henning founded it in 2016 together with his wife Petra, with one aim: to create a true holistic healing retreat.
Today Cal Reiet is where his work takes place - a house of quiet gardens, shared meals and deep practice, welcoming guests and retreat groups from around the world.
