V. Unity

VI. Bewilderment

VII. Annihilation

Attar Foundation’s First Endeavour

Upon Summit “Qaf” , from one thousand birds that journey, 30 arrive to be one

Their solidarity gives birth to the legendary bird “Simorgh” (Si=Thirty, Morgh=Bird)

The legend of the “Simorgh” is Urge

Within the cradle of the brain thousands of cells gather in oneness

This union generates the splendid Hypophysis, the Master Gland

The mastery of the Hypophysis is Integrity

The phenomenon of our universe is not its glory alone but the choreography of this endless diversity as one entity.

The complexity lies in the art of orchestrating the marvel of existence. Homeostasis is the core of celebrating differences and by asserting integrity and balance it heightens the beauty of our enigma.

The vast unknown has drawn the mystics of the world. Their belief is that the essence of gnosis is unification with existence and crucial to it, the ability to love wholesomely.

Summit 30 aspires to sow the seed of friendship and unity between different branches of knowledge, in particular the two orchards of art and science. This symposium shall focus on the philosophy of Attar in the “Conference of the Birds” and its harmony with the neuroendocrine system.

On this occasion masterminds who have journeyed the “Seven Valleys of Love” and have dedicated their lives with ultimate passion to learn, create, teach and selflessly become one with their quest will be honoured.

Above all, Summit 30 aims to host the simplicity of being human.

With sincere gratitude,Laily Mahoozi

In association with the Neurosurgical Society of Iran, Summit 30 spreads its wings to home your illustrious presence.

It begins by disembarking on the grounds of PersiaThe rest shall be aboard the wings of magic and beauty

The next landing is a choice...

“From the skies we comeTo the heavens we rise” Rumi (A disciple of Attar)
