Subud Enterprise Services (S.E.S.) is one of the "wings" of the spiritual organization Subud. It is not an independent entity, but a division controlled by the World Subud Association. Its purpose is to assist Subud members in their entrepreneurial activities.
Subud's founder, Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo (called Bapak) encouraged Subud followers to develop "enterprises" (Indonesian:usaha, "efforts"). This was to demonstrate that Subud has practical advantages, and so that more Subud members would have the means to support Subud financially and have a work-life balance that would allow travel on behalf of Subud.
Featuring Latifah and Muchtar Nankivell, and Andrew Holloway, hosted by Raphael Skerratt - Subud Entrepreneurs talk about their work. Recorded circa 2006.

SUMMARY
=======
Subud (pronounced [ˈsʊbʊd]) is an international spiritual movement that began in Indonesia in the 1920s, founded by Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwidjojo. The basis of Subud is a spiritual exercise called the latihan kejiwaan, which was said by Muhammad Subuh to represent guidance from "the Power of God" or "the Great Life Force". He claimed that Subud was not a new teaching or religion, and recommended that Subud members practice an established religion; he left the choice of religion up to the individual. Some members have converted to Islam; others have found that their faith in and practice of Christianity or Judaism, for example, has deepened after practising the latihan. There are Subud groups in about 83 countries, with a worldwide membership of about 10,000.
