Poets Get a Taste of the Latihan
George Stanley, Hadiyah Carlyle and Meredith Nelson at the Cascadia Poetry Festival Workshop, May 2, 2014
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:-)

The Cascadia Poetry Festival (May 1-4) is utilizing the Subud House for several events. This is great outreach for Subud and for our Centerprise. There will be no latihans Thursday, May 1 and Saturday, May 3. Latihans will continue on the Eastside Wednesday and Friday, as scheduled. Please plan accordingly. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Also, there is a new door code. Please see Paul to get that code if you are a helper, or open the house for latihan regularly.

Gold Passes, good for any event during the fest (May 1-4) will be given to volunteers to attend events and they ARE transferable.

Poetry, No Latihans
Dear Subud Greater Seattle Members,
Cascadia Poetry Festival
Due to the 2nd Cascadia Poetry Festival May 1-4, there will not be regular latihan Thursday, May 1, and Saturday, May 3, but there WILL BE latihan Wednesday, April 30 and Friday, May 1 (both on the Eastside) and Sunday, May 4 at the Subud House. Volunteers are still needed to staff the booth at the festival’s Small Press Fair, about 4 blocks from the Subud House on the campus of Seattle U. Please coordinate with Oswald Norton.
The festival itself will feature readings, panels, a workshop and late night programming. A free daily Living Room is open to the public for poets to read their original work, from 3-5 Fri-Sunday at the Subud House.

This is a great bit of cultural outreach for the house and for Subud, so thanks for your understanding.

World Congress Assistance Fund
Subud Greater Seattle is offering two grants (at least $260 in cash plus free registration, lunch and dinner, and a round-trip bus fare from Mexico City Airport to Puebla) to assist two members to attend the Subud World Congress 2014 in Puebla, Mexico from August 2 – 17, 2014.
Anyone that is a member in the region may apply, but they must show the ability to pay for their lodging (approx. $30/day for 14 days plus airfare which is approximately $700 round trip).
For more information on the congress go to: http://www.subudworldcongress2014.com.
As many of us know, World Congresses are often life changing experiences since we connect with the global nature of Subud and we often deepen our latihan experience. Sharing and doing latihan on a truly global scale with members from now over 50 countries can be a very life changing experience. Plus, connecting with the rich culture of Puebla, Mexico, an ancient colonial city, is also a plus.
If you have not donated to this fund please give a check to Subud PNW-Greater Seattle Center and earmark it World Congress Travel Fund. If we have more funds we can give more grants and assist more to go to congress. Give the funds to Sherwin O’Bar, our Treasurer, or mail to Subud Greater Seattle, 1101 15th Ave, Seattle, WA 98122-4523.
If a member wishes to apply for a grant please email marston.gregory@hotmail.com and he will send an application form to be filled out by May 20 and the final decision of who gets grants will be made by May 31, 2014. The grant review committee is made up of Marston Gregory, Sherwin O’Bar and Oswald Norton.
