Mevlana (1207-1273), better known in the West as Rumi, was one of the greatest thinkers, spiritual masters and mystic poets of all time. His legacy has guided whoever wanted to discover himself/herself, to understand the meaning of life and to find truth. Rumi has been a source of inspiration in terms of social development and finding solutions to universal problems. 

Every 17 December, the night of Mevlana's death, thousands of people from all around the world gather to celebrate Seb-i Arus, his 'Wedding Day', his reunion with his Beloved, with the Divine.

Çatalhöyük was a very large Neolithic proto-city settlement in southern Anatolia, which existed from approximately 7500 BC to 5700 BC, and flourished around 7000 BC. In July 2012, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It is located overlooking the Konya Plain, southeast of the present-day city of Konya (ancient Iconium) in Turkey. The eastern settlement forms a mound which would have risen about 20m above the plain at the time of the latest Neolithic occupation. There is also a smaller settlement mound to the west and a Byzantine settlement a few hundred meters to the east. (Wiki)
