Bengüsu Gield

“Bengüsu-gield” represents a tradition that is more than a thousand years old and has its origins in the spirituality and healing culture of the Middle East. This culture laid the scientific foundations for our modern civilization and represented a holistic and  humanistic view of humanity. The psychosomatic therapeutic treatment was based on a spiritual foundation and the focus was on maintaining the health of the whole person (Salutogenesis).

We do not separate the spiritual foundation from the therapeutic process and teach both hand in hand and strive for a traditional transmission process. We belief deeply that the methods developed over thousands of years have tremendous value for the  modern men and giving them the opportunity to find their place in the world and in their cosmic nature.
