The Story of the “Unity” Birds
The Unity Birds are inspired by the legendary story of Simorgh (Persian: Thirty Birds) part the Persian poet Farid u-din Attar, from his book Conference of the Birds.
 
The story recounts the longing of a group of birds who search for a leader. They decide the legendary “Simorgh” should be their king and they go on a journey to find him. They journey over seven valleys each representing one stage of attainment to wholeness.
 
One by one the birds drop out unable to fulfil the challenging journey. Eventually only thirty birds reach the land of Simorgh but instead of finding their leader, all they see is their own reflection in a lake. As the birds realise the truth, they see they are not separate from the universe, they are one with it, together in unity they are the great Simorgh.
 
These birds represent the mighty Simorgh who with their unity were able to produce a powerful energy capable of transforming the world for the better.
