Dear Subud Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you for allowing me to use the Subud House for the recent Cascadia Poetry Festival. I have blogged about it here:

http://paulenelson.com/2014/05/09/cascadia-poets-get-a-taste-of-the-latihan/ and want to thank Ray Brown, Hadiyah Carlyle, Marston Gregory, Julia Hurd, Oswald and Rayma Norton and others for their support of this dream come true. It appears at least one person is considering getting opened in Subud. Wow!

Sincerely,

Paul Nelson

Heads-Up: a very special Latihan Kejiwaan on June 22 around the world

By Aryanadi Chahyono on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at 6:04pm

Dearest all brothers and sisters,

June 22 is coming sooner, it is the day when YM Bapak Subuh was born in dawn. YM Bapak Subuh was born on June 22 at dawn (Subuh time) in Central Java, Indonesia. We are going to schedule in Indonesia a very special Latihan Kejiwaan at the time and date when YM Bapak Subuh was born that is on June 22 at 5 am.

Please kindly spread the words, tell your Subud friends and let everyone in your Subud group knows about this. It would be nice if we all can do this very special latihan Kejiwaan together at the same time and date according to your local time zone (simultaneously).

Please find the website for converting local zone time:http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ & http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

Have a wonderful Latihan Kejiwaan:-)

(This is 3P on Sunday, June 22, right?, ed.)
