Levana Fraval, Vice Chair, Subud California

Levava Fraval was elected as Vice-Chair of Subud California at the 2022 Regional Congress.

She was opened in 1977 and has served Subud as a committee member, center helper, and regional helper. She is a former trustee on the Board of Trustees of the Subud USA Archives Committee, and has been the West Coast national liaison for MSF since April 2019.

Levana has a background in graphics and book publishing. While a member of Subud New York, she was part of an earlier team working on Subud Writers International. She and husband Hanafi co-produced The Entrepreneur, an SES newsletter, during his first tenure as chair of SES USA, from 1996–2000. Levana served as co-chair of SES USA during the first two terms.

She comes from a family that managed investments and so has a strong sense at a fundamental level of what works and what does not. To that point, she believes foremost that in a Subud enterprise, it is the entrepreneur(s) in whom we invest. The trust engendered by that individual is what can move us to consider investing in their project. It is their growth and development, their level of personal responsibility, discipline, persistence and experience that increases the faith that our investment will be looked after and will have the potential to bear fruit.
