Sheikh Nazim, His son Sheikh Mehmet Effendi and his Grandson Sheikh Mehmet Nazim.

Offering an real alternative to young people based on educational tools – spiritual as material – to

survive in the society we live. The basic spiritual tools are the Sufi practices of the Naqshbandi Order.

The educational tools provide the possibility to live in a self-supporting environment . Practising the

greatest compassion for all human beings, living creatures and earth

In this way the spirit is a “green heart” and the body is a “fruitful tree with deep roots”.
