"The Conference of birds is a place for inner journeying, friendship and self expression beyond time. A zone in which healing music, songs who calls the essence of spirit, breath walks, dances of universal peace, shamanic practices, special rituals which empowers the bond of our authentic nature, ancient ways of connection and silence become a language."
From Attar
The parables in this book trigger memories deep within us all. The stories inhabit the imagination, and slowly over time, their wisdom trickles down into the heart. The process of absorption is unique to every body, as is each person’s journey.
We are the birds in the story. All of us have our own ideas and ideals, our own fears and anxieties, as we hold on to our own version of the truth. Like the birds of this story, we may take flight together, but the journey itself will be different for each of us.
Attar tells us that truth is not static, and that we each tread a path according to our own capacity. It evolves as we evolve.
Tuncay Korkmaz
The Conference of Birds was inspired from the original book “Manteq al –tair” written by Persian Sufi Mystic Farid-ud-din Attar.
“The home we seek is in eternity;
The Truth we seek is like a shoreless sea,
Of which your paradise is but a drop.
This ocean can be yours; why should you stop
Beguiled by dreams of evanescent dew?
The secrets of the sun are yours, but you
Content yourself with motes trapped in its beams.
Turn to what truly lives, reject what seems --
Which matters more, the body or the soul?
Be whole: desire and journey to the Whole.”
― Attar of Nishapur
