Sangha Shantivanam
Spirit, Soul and Body, The Universal Call to Contemplation
Founder: Fr Cyprian Consiglio, OSB cam
Foundation Date: May 2005
Mission Statement
"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 monastic ideal is the contemplative life lived in community, and a
communal life that leads to contemplation. Toward that end we encourage
each other to commit to regular attendance at Sangha meetings, study of the
texts we are reading together, daily practice, and spiritual and financial
support of the Sangha."
