The Subud Experience Subud members meet regularly, usually twice a week for a half hour, and practice their receiving together in groups.
Men receive with other men and women with other women.
The group experience preserves integrity and provides support to those who may have difficulty. Members who are not able to meet in groups due to distances can practice their receiving on their own, usually at home. An individual who wishes to partake of the Subud experience can receive it by standing quietly, with a feeling of patience and surrender, in the presence of a member or members who are at that moment experiencing it for themselves. This would be arranged by the nearest Subud group. One then gains this contact for oneself, without effort of will and entirely free from the influence of another person.
