Cala Figuera Conversations III

Eduardo Bonnín long dreamed of a global gathering of Cursillistas to exchange experiences—so that the ideas sparked in any part of the world where Cursillos were held could be shared with all. He hoped that in the warmth of community, friendship and admiration would grow for all that, by God’s grace, had been achieved. His dream came true in 1994 with the first Conversations of Cala Figuera, then again in 2002 with the second edition. Finally, in 2011—after his death in 2008—his friends, who consider themselves continuers of his work, organized the third Conversations of Cala Figuera, striving to preserve the spirit and essence of the first two. Though different in content, these followed the same line of thought. The themes explored—Christianity in Dialogue, Meaning, Attitude, Creativity, Communication, Trust, and Transcendence—form a group of questions of undeniable importance for anyone who wishes to live the Cursillo experience.

Cala Figuera Conversations II

In the early 1990s, a growing desire emerged within the Cursillo Movement to better define the essence of its Foundational Charism. This led to the first Conversations of Cala Figuera in 1994. Eight years later, the second Conversations delved even deeper into the topic. The talks from 2002, now published, reflect an intelligent collaboration between laypeople and priests, a complementary and convergent effort centered on what truly matters.

Cala Figuera Conversations I

In August 1994, the 1st Conversations of Cala Figuera took place in Mallorca, Spain, with 146 delegates from the Cursillos de Cristiandad from fifteen countries. During this international meeting, ten “runways for takeoff” were developed by various Cursillistas—ten concepts that, when deeply understood (with the heart), bring individuals closer to the Foundational Charism of the Cursillos de Cristiandad—the foundations of personal flight, of daily nearness to God.
