Cursillo
The Cursillo Movement is both a movement and a method. The purpose of the movement is to create small groups of Christians that will evangelize their environments with the gospel spirit. The purpose of the method is to help people live fundamental Christian truths by committing themselves to the spiritual aids the church offers in order to grow in holiness, formation and evangelization.

A beautiful, sand labyrinth decorated with pieces of colored glass adorns the garden. The center contains a sign that simply says, "Beloved." This is one of the many meditative tools available at |
the center; May also facilitates small group discussions, lectures, guided imagery, movies, art presentations, music and more.
Workshops are typically half-day or full-day sessions whereas retreats are generally one evening plus one full day, but can be longer. May offers off-site workshops and retreats as well. May has served the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego for almost fifteen years. |
