Posts here have already covered two important December events at the Subud House in Seattle, but here is a little more information on the second one. The Holiday Party is Sunday, Dec 22, which is 27 hours after the exact time of the Winter Solstice.
A Day of Forgiveness on Sunday, December 29 is open to all Subud members and the structure of the day is:
1. Fast (abstain from food, or stimulants, or food and water) as one feels is correct for them beginning at the time that is correct for them.
2. General Latihan starts at 1100 (quiet time).
3. Latihan for the healing and forgiveness of the members of the group immediately following general Latihan; helpers to ask at the start of the Latihan that it be dedicated to the healing and forgiveness of the members of the group.
4. Everyone join in the main room so that people may speak if they desire
5. Break the fast together.
Jim & Lucinda will bring soup; Hadidjah O’Bar is organizing food. You are welcome to bring a dish. This is seen to be a first step at creating greater harmony at Subud Greater Seattle and we hope to see you there.
Day of Forgiveness
Holiday Party Dec 22 after latihan. We will be honoring the Stralbergs and Tedrows, old time members who have recently joined our group. Annie Padilla and Hadijah O’Bar are coordinating the food for this event. Please call Hadijah O’Bar if you would like to contribute. 425-246-9242.
Day of Healing and Forgiveness, Sunday Dec 29. Just prior to the New Year the helpers of Subud Greater Seattle invite all members and former members to a Kedjiwan day of healing and forgiveness.
Those who would like to participate would fast in the morning in the most appropriate way for you and come to the Seattle Subud House for the Sunday latihan at 11 am. Before the latihan begins the helpers will offer a prayer that this latihan will be one of healing for our group. After the latihan is over everyone would break fast together.
Through this effort we hope that our center may enter the New Year fresh and unencumbered.
Note: This invitation is extended to all members and former members of Subud Greater Seattle. If you cannot attend, we hope you will join us through fasting and prayer for our center.

THE ELDERBERRY PROJECT
At the request of Ibu Rahayu, various members of the Subud community have started to work on developing a Subud entity called the Elderberry Program. Its primary mission is to assist elderly aged 75+ Subud members in the USA who are in need of practical or spiritual assistance in their lives. The program will provide non-monetary assistance through volunteer Subud members. At this time, the Elderberry Team (Mardiah Tarantino, Rachael Knotz and Marilyn Schirk, and advisor Rosetta Narvaez) is developing the program and will approach the Susila Dharma (SD) USA Board this winter for potential funding for its first year of operation. The Subud USA Board of Directors has agreed unanimously to umbrella the project under its 501c3 tax status to keep its start-up expenses to a minimum while the program is piloted.
Halstein Stralberg
Please welcome Halstein Stralberg into the Subud Greater Seattle Dewan. Tests confirmed his addition last Sunday and he will time Sunday latihans and some Monday nights. See the list of current local helpers here https://www.subudgreaterseattle.com/helpercommittee-members/ and do let us know at pen@splab.org is there are any pages that need updating on the site.
