Spirituality and Trance Elements, Kuda Lumping, Sintren, Cross-Cultural Counseling PerspectiveAbstract
This study aims to analyse the relevance of Kuda Lumping and Sintren culture to psychological dynamics, spirituality, and individual emotional expression from a cross-cultural counseling perspective. The study employed a literature review, examining various national and international journals on traditional culture, cultural psychology, spirituality, and multicultural counseling. The findings indicate that the traditions of Kuda Lumping and Sintren contain elements of trance, spirituality, and communal values that function as media for emotional expression, strengthening cultural identity, and psychological coping within society. Trance experiences are understood as part of cultural meaning systems and individuals’ transpersonal experiences. These findings emphasise that understanding local culture can help counselors comprehend clients’ worldviews, spirituality, and psychological expressions in their specific contexts. This study concludes that integrating local cultural perspectives into cross-cultural counseling can enhance counselors’ cultural sensitivity in assessment and intervention. The contribution of this study lies in providing a cultural understanding framework that supports the development of multicultural counseling competencies in Indonesia.
