Athena Solbeck Robel: I first learned about Subud from Raymond Robel, a long time Subud member whom I later married. I was opened in May 1992 in Seattle and we soon moved to San Diego where I became a local helper. I worked for over 40 years as an LCSW Social Worker In a variety of settings before retiring. A few years after I became a widow, I moved temporarily during COVID to Livingston, Montana (close to Bozeman) to be near family and I am still here! I look forward to meeting and supporting PNW Subud members especially isolated members who live far from a group.
Daniella Gleeson: I was born into Subud, originally from Los Angeles and have been a part of the Portland group since 2005. I got opened in Arcata, CA in 1992 and have been a helper since 2004.
Liza Ramey Wolfgang — I am an elementary school teacher in the greater Portland Metro Area. As a second generation Subudain, I was opened in my late teens in Sonoma County, California. I’ve served as a local committee member and helper in Sonoma County and recently as a local helper here in Portland. I also served as chairperson of Susila Dharma USA for 5 years. I’m honored to have the opportunity to
work on this Regional Dewan.
Rayma Norton: Opened in Kentucky in 1973, I moved to California in ’75, later met and married Oswald. We’ve been in the PNW since 1991. I am a retired librarian. We have one daughter who lives in L.A., where we spend time each winter.
Oswald Norton: I’m a retired IT Program Manager. I live with my wife Rayma in Bellevue, WA. We are a part of the Subud Greater Seattle group. Opened in October of 1976, I have served previously as a regional helper and regional committee vice chair in the Pacific Northwest region. It is through the efforts of committee and helper members who came before me that I am able to receive the latihan.
David Lynch — I was opened in Subud in Santa Cruz, CA in 1984. Became a local helper in 1991. I have been a regional helper for Subud PNW for 6 years. I served on the board of Susila Dharma for a term where I met my wife Maryka in 2007. After we married in 2008 we lived in the Subud community of Badger for 2 years and moved to Olympia, WA in 2011. For years we commuted to Seattle every Sunday for Latihan and I eventually became chair of Subud Seattle for two terms. We finally began a group in Olympia which at its peak reached 11 members but eventually is now only Maryka and I, so I travel to Seattle every Sunday and time the regional Latihan while doing the center Latihan.
Samuel Czuba — I was opened in Subud on April 2, 1972. Living in Hood River, OR. It was a 150-mile round trip to Portland for about 2 years and twice a week. Agatha and me got married in 1978. She passed away in November 2023. In 2005 I became a Regional Helper. After that I have been a local helper in Portland. This present Regional Helpers group feels very together. Looking forward to serving God and the region.
