Vision
The Elderberry Program was created as a result of Ibu Rahayu’s message to Susila Dharma: “It is my hope that Susila Dharma take care of the spiritual needs of the elder Subud members in the United States.“
With this came the realization that as our population ages, many lose contact with Subud groups and members at a time in their lives when contact is most needed.
Where are our Pioneers?
Mission
The Elderberry Program seeks to outreach, communicate, and engage Subud USA elders (age 75+) and Pioneers with the overall Subud USA Community and ensure that their spiritual needs are met. Elderberry is a Subud USA affiliate program.
Elderberry Program Services
What We Do:
- Connect Elders to Volunteers in their area to facilitate Latihan in their own residence, care facility, or group home if they are unable to attend Subud activities
- Connect and support Volunteers who are assisting Elders to attend group Latihan or gatherings by reimbursing some of the Volunteer’s expenses
- Help Elders get to Congresses by offering financial or networking help
