A Christian Approach to Yoga • August 26-28
NOTE: THIS RETREAT IS FILLED. WAIT LISTING AVAILABLE.

“We will be exploring both in theory and in practice the Christian approach to the practice and philosophy of Yoga. On a practical side we will do asana, pranayama and meditation together each day. On the theoretical side we will discuss how the spiritual anthropology––the view of the human person––implied in each tradition converges, and sheds new light on the transformative promises of the Transfiguration, Resurrection and Ascension.”

Cyprian Consiglio is a monk of New Camaldoli Hermitage, musician, composer, author and teacher.  He lived for ten years at New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, serving as liturgist, choir director and teacher. Cyprian currently lives in a hermitage near Santa Cruz, California. He spends about half his time at home, and half his time traveling, performing and teaching. Much of both his music and his teaching revolve around the Universal Call to Contemplation through spirituality and the arts.  A student of the writings of Bede Griffiths and Abhishiktananda, Cyprian has a great love for comparative religion, and published a book Prayer in the Cave of the Heart by Liturgical Press, based on wisdom culled from what he has gained from his studies. He has been to India numerous times as well as other countries in Europe, Asia, and the Mideast, performing as well as studying and teaching. Besides concerts and recording, he regularly leads retreats and conferences on meditation, and has done extensive work in inter-faith dialogue.
