Holy Family Retreat and the local WCCM are co-sponsoring this Meditation Retreat which will have a special focus on Fr. John Main and the WCCM form of prayer.
The call to contemplation and mystical depth is not only found in every spiritual tradition; it is meant for every person, not just professional religious. Based on the pioneering work of the English monk Bede Griffiths and his predecessor Abhishiktananda, Cyprian Consiglio has built a practice and program that integrates the study of and techniques from the East--notably Hinduism and Buddhism--with the wisdom of Eastern and Western Christianity for an experience aimed at the whole person--spirit, soul and body. As Bede Griffiths taught the need to integrate all three of these aspects of the person at all times--what Ken Wilber would later call integral spirituality--, the days will include meditation, music and chanting, sacred reading, teaching, prayer and discussion.
