 Cyprian's book, Prayer in the Cave of the Heart, is now available in paperback or e-book form at Liturgical Press.  It is also available on Amazon.

Prayer is an art that cannot just be taught. It must be experienced, lived, and practiced. In Prayer in the Cave of the Heart, Cyprian Consiglio draws on his experience as a Camaldolese monk to give readers an accessible reflection on prayer that is based on Bede Griffith's "universal call to contemplation." In this text, the contemplative traditions of East and West intersect to invite readers into prayer that makes them present to the Spirit who is already present to us."

 

 

 

 

 

 Sangha Shantivanam.

 

Sangha Shantivanam is a Christian community which aims to promote the Universal Call to Contemplation through shared prayer and spiritual practice, and to be a sign of unity and an instrument of peace by seeking to understand the experience of Ultimate Reality as found in all the world's spiritual traditions.

The Lectures page allows you to download recent lectures in MP3 format or you can hear them online. Universal Wisdom is a collection of quotes gathered by Cyprian from religious traditions throughout the world. This is a great resource.

Circle Song   


   
Again, again we come and go,
   changed, changing. Hands
   join, unjoin in love and fear,
   grief and joy. The circles turn,
   each giving into each, into all.

   Only music keeps us here,
   each by all the others held.
   In the hold of hands and eyes
   we turn in pairs, that joining
   joining each to all again

   -Wendell Berry
