Basara Youth Camp 2016 2.75

Hi everyone!
Welcome to Basara Youth Camp 2016 Facebook Page.

This page was created so we can all connect and share information about Basara. From this official page we will give you regular updates and information about this hallmark event. We hope you could help us share the posts that will be published and invite more of your friends and family to like us in order to spread the word!

We will share the posts in three languages spoken by the largest Subud Youth groups, which are English (for groups in Australia, America, Europe, and other English-speaking countries), Indonesian (for groups in Indonesia) and Spanish (for groups in Latin America). However, if there are other groups out there who fall outside of these three language groups, we hope you can inform us so that we can arrange a way to make the information available in the language requested. However, links of articles and websites we share will stay in their original language although some may be able to be translated online.

This page is also intended to operate as a FORUM, where you can freely share your ideas and suggestions. We are sure that all of you have great ideas to contribute, so don't be shy to join in the discussion and get involved. Your questions, no matter how basic, are also welcome. To make this page accessible and suitable to everyone, please use English when leaving comments or inquiries.
Information about Basara has been published several times worldwide in Subud publications, the WSA Bulletin, and it has also been shared by our SYAI coordinator for area 1, Davina Flynn through her FB account
(find the original post here: https://www.facebook.com/davina.flynn/posts/968758766479331).
So some of you may already know about Basara. For those of you who haven't, here is some introductory information about Basara that we'd like to share with you:

WHAT is Basara?
The word "Basara" is taken from the language of Dayaks (the native Kalimantan ethnic group), which means "gathering". Basara is a gathering which will bring individuals from various cultures, races, religions, and backgrounds together and provide an opportunity for them to connect and collaborate, while also learning and having experiences in this magical place called Kalimantan. Kalimantan is an Indonesian province located on the island of Borneo, which it also shared with Malaysia and Brunei.

Basara will take the form of a Youth Camp with a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, in large and small group formats. Examples of Subud activities will be similar to those found at World Congresses, such as daily latihans, wing body workshops (social, arts & culture, enterprise, and health), kejiwaan gatherings, experience sharing, and testing. Examples of non-Subud activities will be knowledge and skill sharing, sport competitions, tours and trips along rivers and through the jungle, social works to the local communities, arts and culture performances, and numerous Youth-driven initiatives.

WHO is coming to Basara?
The main invitation is sent out to all Subud Youths worldwide between the ages of 17-35 years. The vision for Basara is to bring young Subud members together from all over the world in one place and one time. They can all connect, share, and make an impact by developing something valuable and lasting for Subud, Kalimantan, the world, and themselves. Adult Subud members, helpers, and organizational representatives are highly encouraged to participate and help facilitate this important event. We also welcome dearly non-Subud children, family and friends of the Subud Youth who want to know more about Subud or just spend the year-end in the beautiful surroundings of Rungan Sari and enjoy exciting tourist attractions in Central Kalimantan. Although we expect to see around 100-200 participants in total, we hope to see many more join and contribute to this congress!
WHEN will Basara take place and for how long?
Basara will take place in less than a year from now, starting from 29th December 2016 and crossing over to 8th January 2017 for 10 days. That's right, we're going to bring in the new year together!

WHERE will Basara be held?
You will be expected to stay in Rungan Sari, Palangkaraya, Central Kalimantan where the facilities and venues will be available to ensure a rich and exciting 10-day stay. To highlight the 'camp' feel, the Youths will stay together in one place (with male and female separation, of course), while adult Subud members and families will stay in the hotel and residential houses. Whether you are looking for a proper jungle experience, or prefer something more comfortable, various activities will be available to suit your needs.

WHY come to Basara?
Mark your calendar and start saving because Basara will be an experience that we'll never forget, an awakening for ourselves and for Subud Youths all over the world. Don't miss this opportunity to find yourself, find some lifetime friends, and have amazing experiences in one of the most unique places in the world that will be memorable for a lifetime!
Are you excited? Stay tuned for our future posts!
