Subud Women Helpers

October 2015

Recently both members and helpers have expressed concerns about respecting the practice of quiet before and after latihan.  The recommended practice is to be quiet for at least 15 minutes prior to beginning the exercise (latihan), and at least 5 minutes after we finish.  This means, Please, no talking in the latihan room before and after the latihan. Exceptions are when one of the helpers makes an announcement before or after latihan or initiates talking after the latihan. Please be considerate of others by using a quiet voice and/or whispering in the adjacent rooms (the quiet/green room and handicapped entry).

Please be considerate of others by observing this practice and to the best of your ability. minimize noise and distractions when you enter, especially if you are late.

If you wish to receive through testing about the purpose and value of observing quiet before and after latihan, please let one of the helpers know before latihan.

Thank you.

With love,

Lorraine, Lucinda, Insiah, Hadidjah and Ann

From Local Helper Jim O’Halloran:

The Men and Women helpers of SGS cordially invite any interested members to participate in testing after Latihan Sunday November 29.  This can be directed by the interests of the participants, potentially ranging from “What is testing” to awakening testing to testing regarding vexing personal issues to testing suggested by Ibu Rahayu.

The helpers intend to set the time aside to let the time after general Latihan unfold naturally and organically.  It is the hope of the helpers that this will provide benefit to members and the group.

If you have specific questions or needs you are welcome to give one of the helpers a call or email prior so  they can prepare for your needs.

Right now, this minute, in Budapest, Hungary, history is being made as the creative team record a new and exciting multi-media opera based on ancient and new scientific ideas and images about the Creation of the universe.  It’s called The Birth of Color, A Marriage of Darkness and Light

It is the collaboration of Honora Foah (story, concept, director, producer), Dahlan Robert Foah (producer), David Brendan Hopes (lyrics), Lucio Ivaldi and Tristan Foison (composer).
