A retreat at Esalen along the Big Sur Coast.

The call to contemplation and mystical depth is not only found in every spiritual tradition, it is meant for every person, not just the "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 and techniques from the Eastnotably Hinduism and Buddhismwith the wisdom of Eastern and Western Christianity for an experience aimed at the whole personspirit, soul, and body. As Bede Griffiths taught the need to integrate all three of these aspects of the person at all timeswhat Ken Wilber would later call "integral spirituality"the workshop sessions will include yoga, meditation, music and chanting, sacred reading, teaching, prayer, and discussion.
