Albuquerque Beckons: An Invitation to Our National Gathering


Dear Sisters and Brothers,

We are excited about the upcoming 2019 National Gathering in Albuquerque, July 4-8, which will focus on the growth and development of the kejiwaan (spiritual) and inter-personal aspects of our lives in Subud. Our testing about this gathering has been extremely positive, and we are mapping out topics to explore—through both testing and conversation.

These topics include: incorporating the latihan in our daily lives; promoting harmony within groups and peace within ourselves, awakening all parts of our being, promoting dialog between younger and older members, exploring our Subud roles, sharing our Subud experiences and miracles—just to name a few. Most importantly, we received this gathering to be an opportunity for all of us to be present and attentive to both our receivings, and to one another – our goals, stories and gifts.  

We welcome any ideas you have for kejiwaan activities, workshops, or discussions. Large latihan halls will be available all day, as well as more intimate spaces, for personal testing, workshops, and small group activities.

In short, the focus of this gathering will be on deepening our connection to the latihan, and strengthening bonds within the Subud USA community.  We feel that with the members’ input and participation, we can ensure activities for all ages. So come, and bring your families to the beautiful Southwest for an extended weekend of latihan, friendship, and personal growth.

We hope to see you there!  

With love, your National Helpers
