Center Kejiwaan Gatherings – One of your Regional Helper Objectives for the Coming Term and a part of our budgeting plan for 2025

Dear Members of Subud PNW,

Your regional helpers and committee held a retreat September 26^th to 29^th. We knew that getting to know each other and coming to understand the needs of the region through testing was an important first step in understanding our work for you.

We all left the meeting grateful for the time we had all donated to trying to bring clarity to our work through God’s Grace and the latihan.

When we tested about the needs of our region two things began to immerge.

• Find and book a facility for our regional Kejiwaan event for 2025 as soon as possible. This is now becoming a reality. Stay tuned.
• Visit centers and help create 2-day kejiwaan weekends while the main event was being worked on.

Kejiwaan Weekend Plan

• Portland
  • They already had a kejiwaan weekend planned for Saturday and Sunday 10/12-13.
  • We did testing about the meaning and purpose of the event with the regional helpers who would be attending
  • We decided to establish a pattern for these events
    • Saturday would be devoted to working with the local helpers in the group
    • On Sunday, regional helpers, local helpers and members co-create the kejiwaan day to explore areas of interest and need.
• Seattle/Bellingham Skagit Valley weekend
  • • February 15/16, 2025 at the Seattle Subud House
    • All members in the region would be invited to attend. We’re hoping that the now isolated members in the Bellingham/Skagit Valley area will come.
• Spokane
  • • Possibly April?
• Other areas TBD

We need your input

Your regional helpers will be submitting a budget request for helper travel to these events and need your input. Besides the centers listed, would you like the regional helpers to assist in creating one of these events in your area. If the region can provide the budget, we will work on scheduling so that we can make this happen.

Deadline: In the next month, your regional committee will be working on our 2025 budget.  Please submit your requests for a gathering to subudpnw@gmail.com with the Subject: “Kejiwaan Gathering Request” in the next 30 days.
