"Let It Shine"

The intent of "Let It Shine" is to provide a forum for Subud members’ creative works. In this way we hope to inspire, share, and support creative works of Subud members. We hope to have an article in every publication that focuses on one inspirational artist (in any creative field). Any member who wishes to interview and write about an artist in their region is invited to submit an article and pictures, keeping it to about 150 – 200 words.

Writers are invited to submit poems, short stories, longer written works in installments, articles, etc.
Photographers and artists are invited to submit digital photos.
Announcements for up coming shows, events, reviews, sale of CD’s, etc. of Subud members will also be posted.

We do not plan to make "Let It Shine" a forum for debates, or discussions regarding the workings of the Subud structure.

You can send any submissions to Elfrida Schragen.
