GRIT is about not giving up, creating a space for brotherhood, mentoring and spiritual friendships for all men, single and married who are willing to go up the hill and undertake the most critical journey in their life: philosophers and theologians, baseball and football fans, poets who love jazz and couch potatoes who binge on Netflix action movies.

You don't have to be a committed Catholic to attend but you need to be willing to listen and to hang out. Bring some food and/or drink, man. It's never enough.  Bring your Bible if you have one, and your conscience.

Starting CAFE and CAFE SOLO FALL' 18 season: Feminine Genius

Holy Spirit, bestowing life unto life,
moving in All.
You are the root of all creatures,
washing away all impurity,
scouring guilt,
and anointing wounds.
Thus you are luminous and praiseworthy, Life,
awakening, and re-awakening all that is. - Hildegard von Bingen (12th century)

Unpacking the myths and truths about feminine genius can go sour quickly if we cling to unredeemed ideas of who God is and how our identity is shaped by this understanding. We would like to understand and immerse ourselves in the process of being transformed by the Holy Spirit, on His terms, and walk awakened to the movement of His breath after sleepless nights, when the kids are sick, when we want to stay in present moment because trusting seems too much to bare, in the days of triumphs and small victories. We want to live awakened. 

We are starting our CAFE and CAFE SOLO Fall season with a session of film screening, discussion, praise and worship and ministry time:

COST: $15

AT THE DOOR: $20

5:45 The doors open 

6:00 Refreshments and conversations

6:15 "What is Feminine Genius?" Intro by Carmelite sisters

6:35 Speaking to Sparrows film screening. 

'Speaking to Sparrows' is a documentary film about women finding courage to confront the uncomfortable. The film brings to light the issues facing women in today’s world and creates space for the difficult conversations. It is these conversations that are a light in the darkness, and can lead to sisterhood, belonging and healing.

7:35 Testimony

7:40 Discussion Groups: CAFE, CAFE SOLO, GRIT

8:20 Ministry Time with praise and worship

8:45 Announcements and refreshemnts

9:00 The end

FAQ

1. Why do you think men should attend a viewing of a movie portraying women's issues?

Because 50% of humans are female. 

2. What is CAFE?

We are a tribe of women participating or related to the Stone to Flesh School of the Heart who want to walk fiercely in the Father's love, submitting to the movements of the Holy Spirit and submerging our hearts in the mercy of Jesus. Through prayer, sharing intimately about our dreams and the reality, supporting each other's paths and sinking deeper into the creeds of our faith, we want to bring back the sense of wonder, wisdom and creativity to the world robbed of passionate love. We are foremost beloved daughters of the Father, and only from there we identify ourselves also as leaders, moms, creatives, wives, entrepreneurs, healers, visionaries and missionary disciples. We dream that no Catholic woman will feel alone, unsupported or isolated in her life. Learn more

3. Will babysitting be available?

Not for this opening session to CAFE meet-ups. 

4. I am not able to pay, is there a volunteering option in exchange for the fee?

Yes! Contact iwona@majorchange.org

5. Will there be a continuation to this meet-up? 

Yes! We are having CAFE and CAFE SOLO meet-ups in Azusa and Santa Ana. See Iwona or Tiffany after the meeting at the info table for more details.
