This is especially for you, Afi; I had your voice ringing in my ear: "reading list, reading list, reading list." So, if you can make your way this far here is that reading list of works cited for Esalen workshop 24-26 July. Thanks to you all for a wonderful weekend.
Sorry I have been so lax with entries to this blog. All other energies going other places. But please do check out the three new songs we posted on iTunes: Spirit in the Cave of the Heart, Vedahametam and Sab Bhole; and the new videos posted on YouTube, too.

bio
- Cyprian Consiglio
- ... is a Camaldolese monk, musician, author and teacher. Musically he is a singer, a guitarist, a composer, recording artist and producer. Most of his music and his teaching revolve around the Universal Call to Contemplation and Universal Wisdom as taught by Bede Griffiths, an English monk who spent the second half of his life in India helping to establish a Hindu-Christian ashram, Saccidananda Ashram, Shantivanam. Just as Fr Bede and his predecessors sought to be bridges between the world's great religious traditions, Cyprian, through his retreat and teaching work and through his music hopes to foster contemplative experiences through the music, meditation, and the study of sacred texts from many different traditions. He served ten and half years as prior of his community at New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur. He is in the process of relocating to Rome for a few years, where he will be serving as the Secretary General for Monastic Interreligious Dialogue.
