Life

Annette Kaiser is married, has two grown children and teaches in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. After studying economics, she worked for a long time in development cooperation and was involved in the “women's issue”. At the same time, she began training in T'ai Ji and Qigong and founded the T'ai Ji DO school to train teachers.

Annette Kaiser was a student of the Anglo-Russian Sufi teacher Irina Tweedie for 17 years . Since 1991 she has been teaching the way of silent heart prayer and spiritual dream work herself. In 1998 she was authorized by Ms. Tweedie to continue the Sufi Path of the Naqshbandiyya Mujaddidiyya Lineage and to accompany people on this path. This was transformed by her into the present day.

Her particular concern is a transdenominational or integral spirituality, by which she understands an open, alert "being there" as a natural expression of an integral way of life. Annette Kaiser sees the 21st century as an invitation to people to understand themselves as part of the whole and to be creative with collective wisdom.
