What is in the Journey?
A Feathered Gathering
In a realm where spirit whispers and wings remember, the Conference of Birds calls for the 6th time to the magnificent birds paradise -Yenice Valley-
Conference of birds is a retreat festival inspired by the timeless mystic tale, Manteq-ut-Tair of the great Persian Sufi poet, Farid-ud-din Attar.
This is no ordinary gathering— it is a sacred migration. A journey through the Seven Valleys of Love, where the seeker’s soul is tested, transformed, and illuminated.
Seven days, seven stages— through longing, mystery, surrender, and truth all in search of the legendary Simurgh, the mirror of the Self, the King of all Birds.
Each year, birds of every hue hear the call echoing across the winds of the world. They come—keepers of song and silence, weavers of story and rhythm, dancers of devotion and fire.
This ever-growing tribe gathers to remember the ancient teachings whispered from sage to seeker from deserts, forests, temples, and dreams.
To share the wisdom of the Sufi path and honor sacred traditions from many lands—
each a thread in the great tapestry of unity.
So dear soul, spread your wings.
Let your heart rise with us. Let us fly, not away— but inward, toward the Divine.
For this is not just a retreat— it is a return.
A remembering. A sacred soaring into the One.
Where is the Venue?
Our annual mystic migration will take off from an extraordinary bird paradise, Yenice Valley. Where life blossoms everywhere the wind blows and whispers wisdom, where earth is pure and holds its secrets, where water rides on mills and purify dreams, where fire burns and brings transformation!

While parents are diving deep into the sacred flow of the Conference of Birds, little ones will be laughing, playing, and singing in their own joyful space. The Nani Nani team has prepared a great program full of music, playful walks, felt art, stories, cinema, and lots of love. We’re so grateful to welcome this beautiful group of friends to share their light and this sacred work with our community.

This book is an ornament for the ages. It offers something for both the high and low. If you came sad and frozen to this book, its hidden fire will blaze and melt your ice. Yes, these verses are magic: they grow more potent with each reading. They are living beauty under a veil that reveals its wisdom slowly.
Attar of Nishapur
The Conference of Birds is inspired from the original book “Manteq al –tair” written by Persian Sufi Mystic Farid-ud-din Attar.
