Surrounded with the pine forests and unique nature of Pastoral Valley Elif’in Hecesi is calling you all for a 4-day and 4-night meeting in order to share experiences, skills and dialogues. For more information be sure to check out the official webpage.

From the Organizer:

Elif’in Hecesi, is born as a token of friendship; it began its journey with the aim of offering a “friend record” and ever since that day it has been gathering up many fellow companions, uniting their performances emerging from deep within.

These companions moved us sincerely with their music composed in various languages, coming from different places and inspired mostly by the fruitfulness of Anatolia as well as other ancient teachings all over the world.

And we think that now is the time for “an assembly”. With the aim of meeting with friends and admirers within our archive, we organized a meeting at Yanıklar Village in Fethiye, a place that has been symbolic for Elif’in Hecesi.

Surrounded with the pine forests and unique nature of Pastoral Valley we call for a 4-day and 4-night meeting in order to share our experiences and skills, dialogues and sayings.

We intend for beauty; come and let us share it together.
