The next Cursillo weekend (#80) in Geneva\u00a0is on 5-8 November 2026 at Le C\u00e9nacle in Geneva<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Core to our activities is a 3-day residential weekend<\/strong>, starting on Thursday evening and ending on Sunday evening. At\u00a0such a weekend, many of us have shared a profound experience of Christian life, that\u00a0refreshes<\/strong>, renews<\/strong>\u00a0and sometimes transforms<\/strong>\u00a0our walk with God.\u00a0 It is best described as an experience that leads to discovery and appreciation of what is fundamental in Christianity.\u00a0 Some have said,\u00a0\u201cIt is not a retreat, it\u2019s an advance!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What some people have recently reported after attending a weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Moving from my religion as a sort of cultural heritage to my religion as an active, animating cardinal point in my life.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“Cursillo \u2013 it refreshed my faith!\u00a0 The fun with laughter, the peace with solitude, and the education in what it means to be a Christian today! I met a lot of great people from various churches, including my own, whom I had never met before.\u00a0The weekend allows time to relax and the freedom to focus on God, Christianity, fellowship and the very depths of my soul for three whole days.\u00a0What a treat!\u00a0It\u2019s something that everyone should experience at least once in one\u2019s life. It will always be a wonderful memory. Thanks so much.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“This last Cursillo weekend was for me: anchoring, awakening, challenging, creative, demanding, disarming, encouraging, exhausting, exhilarating, expansive, forging (yes! as in heating and hammering), forgiving, generous, graceful, gracious, heartfelt, humorous, inspirational, inspired, intense, light-hearted, motivating, moving, nurturing, profound, stimulating, supportive, surreal, taxing, thoughtful, thought-provoking, tolerant, uplifting, wonder-full.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
