NACC announces 2012 National Conference WeaverRev. Cyprian Consiglio, OSB Cam.

The 2012 National Conference Planning Task Force is pleased to announce an added benefit of a “Conference Weaver” at this year’s conference. Our Conference Weaver is Fr. Cyprian Consiglio, a monk of the Camaldolese Congregation, musician, composer, writer, and teacher. Fr. Cyprian will help us to move through our journey with the plenary speakers, provide times of meditation, reflection and contemplation each day, and draw our theme across the four days we are together here in Milwaukee. Additionally, we are pleased that Fr. Cyprian will be giving a concert during his time with us.

Fr. Cyprian lived for ten years and did his monastic formation at New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, where he served as liturgist, choir director and teacher. Much of both his music and his teaching revolve around the Universal Call to Contemplation through spirituality and the arts. He has five collections of original music recorded and published through OCP Publications, three others released through the Equilibrium label with his long time collaborator, percussionist John Pennington, and two other collections self-published out of Singapore.

He has also collaborated on several collections of a capella sacred music for the church year with the Collegeville Composers Group. Cyprian earned his MA in Theology from St. John’s Seminary in Camarillo, CA. A student of the writings of Bede Griffiths and Abhishiktananda, Cyprian has a great love for comparative religion, has done work in inter-faith ritual and world music, regularly leads conferences on meditation, and has been to India and other countries in Asia several times, both studying and teaching. He has written numerous articles and a book, Prayer in the Cave of the Heart: The Universal Call to Contemplation, for Liturgical Press.

Cyprian currently lives near Santa Cruz, California; he spends about half his time at home and half his time on the road performing and teaching. For more information, please visit Cyprian’s website is: www.cyprianconsiglio.com.
