It was communicated clearly to the group at that time.

Some members have apparently been unable to follow these guidelines, and the committee in consultation with the itrips agent determined the best course of action would be to install a timed electronic lock which would still allow access at the times listed below.  Nothing has changed other than the electronic lock ensuring guests of privacy outside of the agreed upon hours.  This is important because we could potentially lose the Airbnb contract for breach of agreement and 60% of our income due to members not respecting the privacy of renters.  If I was a renter, I would feel violated if this happened to me!

Here is the verbiage from October 2020.

This home has a private entrance but is attached to the Subud spiritual community’s Chapel and meeting hall. Subud has small group meetings on Tuesday mornings from 9:30am -12:30pm, Tuesday evenings from 7:00pm – 8:30pm (downstairs hall – no access to the shared bathroom) and on Saturday and Sunday mornings 9:30am -1:30pm. Please be aware that the only shared space during the Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday morning services is the main floor bathroom.

NOTE: As long as the kitchen door remains locked, there is no access to the home. Rental Guests can choose to maintain privacy at all times by not using the main floor bathroom.

Dearest Subud USA, We are sending you this invitation from Subud Indonesia, along with our love and gratitude to each of you. Also a prayer for all of us from our beloved Bapak. May we all receive the blessings Bapak asked for us and may we be guided by his example. May we pray for the blessings of Almighty God for Bapak, and may Bapak be near us – at the anniversary of his birth and always. Love, Subud USA National Helpers Benjamin Boyce Michal Brownell Loretta Covert Jim Dehner Latidjah Miller Sofia Nicoletti David Nicoletti Dearest all Subud brothers & sisters around the globe, (Note: 5.00 am Central Java, Indonesia time on Thursday 22nd June is 6pm Eastern/ 5pm Central/ 4pm Mountain/ 3pm Pacific and noon Hawaiian time on Wednesday,  June 21.) Friendly reminder: according to autobiography of YM Bapak Subuh that YM Bapak Subuh was born on June 22 at 5 AM in central Java, Indonesia. As always and in divine memory of that, there will be a very special Latihan Kejiwaan on June 22 at 5 AM in Indonesia’s time calendar. So please kindly set your calendar and alarm accordingly to feel the vibration of this special Latihan Kejiwaan simultaneously. Together. At last but not least, please do spread this calling to all Subud members in every block and corner around the globe. May YM Bapak Subuh always guide the Latihan Kejiwaan we do. Amen

Latihans abound!

Sundays in Seattle 11:00AM

Tuesdays in Seattle 10:00AM

Thursdays in Kent: 6:00PM, currently just men, but there is room for Women also.

Thursdays in Seattle, Men only (currently), 6:00 PM

Frequent Thursdays on the Eastside, Men and Women, often preceded by dinner, contact Rayma, Rachman, or Oswald

Fridays on the Eastside, 5:15 PM, currently Women only, but there is room for men also.  Contact Annie.

Attendance has grown at latihan on the Eastside as we continue our approximately twice monthly soup dinners followed by Latihan in various members’ homes (thus far including Cantrell, Norton, O’Brien).  There were 11 people (6 women, 5 men) last Thursday at the Nortons.   Meeting at 6:30pm for our light dinner followed by latihan means it’s not very dark by the time people head home around 8:30.

The kedji day on Mother’s Day was full of quality.. .. After latihan  the ladies toured the house and found it lovely!  Adam, our newest member, learned how to access Subud Indonesia’s zoom team’s 2x a day zooming Bapak and Ibu’s talks, some guys connected and went to lunch, another to the store, and others left for a Mother’s day celebration and the last two of us shared two delicious salads we brought and took home before leaving, we put a happy table cloth on the kitchen table downstairs, then the garden got watered.  it was a good kedji day… as some say, “man proposes and God disposes”… and it is all good…

Crescent Beach is a great venue. The folks are fun, and welcoming.

The Canadian dollar is worth 75 cents to our dollar.

Crescent Beach is a 20 mile drive north of the Blaine border.

Would you please put the invitation in the regional and Seattle newsletters?

If Leonard still does the Portland list server, I imagine he will publish it there.

Much love to each of you.

Thank you volunteers for helping out this last Sunday for our garden day!

Ornamental plants were placed and planted, trees were trimmed, borders edged, bushes pruned, beds raked, sidewalks were tidied, and grass was mowed.

Let’s hear it for Marston, Oswald, Elisha, Dalton, Lisa, and Lucinda!

We had hoped to get a group photo, but when we were ready, some of our helpful volunteers had left.

Below are a few photographs.

We have the house reserved for an event  Sunday, May 14th.  Please ask the local helpers what they have in mind!

We’ll have one in the basement hall or in the park across the street Sunday June 25.

We will present a proposed 12-month budget, a list of projects accomplished, and updates.

 We will have the  garden day originally scheduled for last Sunday after latihan this Sunday April 30th.  We’ll have some tools, but if you prefer yours, please bring them- gloves especially!

  Marston has kindly offered to coordinate, and plans to bring some plants to add to the garden.

  This will be our Earth day event eight days late!

 

On another note, rental revenue is down, partially due to the current market and partially due to our monthly use of the house.  Unfortunately, donations have also dipped.  Please consider donating to help keep our group and space vibrant and beautiful!
