A group of 40, friends, family and acquaintances gathered at the Subud House yesterday for a memorial to Phillip Quackenbush, who died at the age of 78 on Sunday, October 26, 2014. There were Subud people, members of the Council House residential community and even members of a non-duality discussion group of which Phillip was a member.
