The challenge that we felt most after the passing of Enin, the mother of all of us here, is how to maintain the inclusiveness which is her main heritage in JAF’s main house.

Enin has made sure that the space where we live and carry out our activities (which is her very own home), to be a house that will always accept the goodwill and presence of anyone. Her sincerity has made the house similarly feels like the Earth: a living space for anyone, regardless of differences.

Enin’s kitchen is a barn (lumbung), which cultivates existing resources, and supports anyone who comes, lives, and wants to grow. Isn’t that how a territory should be built? To become a living space that provides a livelihood for anyone, by cultivating their resources and sustaining them together?

The Forum 27an this time coincided with the 40 days since Enin left us. In our tradition, in this kind of moment, the family and the closest relatives of the deceased would gather to feast and pray together.

This time we want to remember her through songs and prayers, to give us strength to continue imagining this Earth or at least Jatiwangi as a space that will always be a home for every being and every hope, to then together keeping it that way.

This Forum 27an will be led by Mukti-Mukti.
