2014 Helpers Retreat Weekend (May 3-4, 2014 LOS ANGELES)

The California Regional Helpers are happy to announce the 2014 Helper Retreat Weekend to be held at the Los Angeles Subud Center May 3 and 4, 2014.

This event is open to all Subud helpers, active, inactive and candidate helpers. The LA location allows many helpers living in Southern California to attend a Helper Retreat similar to the one held in Sacramento two years ago. We would like to welcome all helpers in the California Region, but also helpers from other regions in the USA and even other countries.

This weekend will not have a registration fee. Each of us will be on our own to find accommodation in the area. Subud LA will give us a list of places to stay in the area. We will cater lunch in some way and go out to dinner. We are keeping this very simple.

The realization that a second Helper Weekend was clearly needed came to the Regional Helpers some time ago during testing. Thanks to the willingness of Los Angeles Subud members to open their house to accommodate this event, the Regional Helpers will finally be able to present this much needed weekend.
