Subud Youth in Motion: An Opportunity to Support and Participate
By Amanda Rivera
Youth have the power to open paths, build bridges, and renew the spirit. That energy finds tangible support through the IYTF – International Youth Travel Fund, an initiative created to make it possible for more young people to live transformative experiences at Subud International Gatherings.
Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo frequently emphasized that youth hold a crucial role and a special responsibility in the spiritual development of humanity. Seeking connection with the Power of Almighty God through the Latihan Kejiwaan from an early age is a blessing, allowing life to be guided from within.
From November 10–17, 2026, Subud Chile will host the Gathering of the Americas— a space for deep connection and shared learning. Participating means coming together to practice the Latihan Kejiwaan, strengthening bonds with members across Area 3, and expanding — inner and outer — the meaning of being Subud.
To make this experience accessible to more people, the fund offers two ways to participate:
🌱 If you are young (17–35 years old)
If you wish to participate and need financial support to make it possible, you can now register and apply for financial assistance. This may become a life-shaping personal and spiritual experience.

🤝 If you would like to donate $
You can be part of this experience by making someone else’s journey possible.
Your financial support allows more young people to live a transformative experience: sharing the Latihan Kejiwaan and strengthening the future of Subud.
Donations can be made online via Network For Good. Select IYTF as the donation designation. The following link will take you to the donation page.
OR
If you prefer to make a donation via bank transfer or check, please write to the following email address: syai.team@subud.org (to avoid scams, please ensure the email address is correct).
If you are from Chile, please donate to your National Committee, detailing that the donation is for the IYTF.
You will receive a tax-deductible receipt (applicable to some countries). Donations are an expression of spiritual life, grounded in selfless generosity and support without seeking personal benefit — sincerity and purity (Ikhlas).
So you can participate in two ways: by living the experience or by making it possible for someone else.
🌎 Join. Support. Participate.
With love,IYTF Team for the Gathering of the Americas Chile 2026
