Abstract
This article explores the mystical dimension within the art of Sintren. This research utilizes a qualitative approach, referring to Annemarie Schimmel's work on Islamic mysticism, and includes in-depth analysis of Sintren performances, as well as field research involving practitioners, artists, and audiences to explore their spiritual experiences and perceptions of Sintren. This research has found that Sintren art serves as a real expression of mysticism in Javanese culture, transcending mere ritual and worship to encompass profound spiritual experiences and a quest for the presence of the Transcendent. Through singing, dance movements, and symbolic language, Sintren art invites its audience to connect with the Divine and encounter profound mystical moments. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the correlation between art and spirituality in traditional cultures, emphasizing the significance of valuing and studying intricate cultural legacies.
