And simultaneous with the SICA-USA-led Cultural Conversation, here comes Subud creative Halimah Polk with a survey of the survivors, those who stay in Subud. It was published this week in the gorgeous Subud California newsletter as:
This is a short survey to discover why we stay in Subud. What are the critical factors that encourage us to stick with the latihan? This idea came to me in latihan and has the blessing of the national helpers and the powers that be.This may provide insights on what keeps us committed, thus helping us to reflect on our own experience and facilitate similar experiences for our new and current members.The results will be shared in a summary for us all.
Do take a moment to get quiet before responding so that your answers might resonate with your deeper truth. And, thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to the survey. The survey is available HERE.
You can subscribe to the Subud California newsletter by sending an email here: communications.subudca@gmail.com
We look forward to Halimah sharing her findings with us and to the discussion that ensures. Thanks Halimah!





Your art is extraordinary, and your
SICA zoom reading was deeply moving. Thank you! Reynold
Halimah I love your watercolor Alva Beauty! It is the closest feeling to the very colors and loose elegance impressionist flow that my own work issues from, and it was delightful to see it!! Perhaps we could make a trade of paintings to one another in this shared pallet? I know my trade pick from you would be Alva Beauty, as it is where I live inside and you’ve brought that inner Lightness to bear in it! Brava my sister
