PENGALAMAN WISATA SPIRITUAL MELUKAT PURA PABERSIHAN SURANADI
Abstract
Meningkatnya tren wisata spiritual yang berfokus pada pencarian makna hidup menjadikan ritual Melukat di Pura Pabersihan Suranadi sebagai objek penelitian yang krusial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengalaman wisata spiritual Melukat menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif melalui wawancara mendalam berlandaskan enam dimensi pengalaman wisata spiritual dari Sahin & Güzel (2024) yaitu Pengalaman Transformasi (Transformation), Pengalaman Penyembuhan (Healing), Pengalaman Atmosfer Positif (Atmosphere), Pengalaman Transendensi (Transcendence), Pengalaman Pelarian (Escape), dan Pengalaman Keterhubungan Ilahi (Divine Connectedness). Hasil mengkonfirmasi bahwa Melukat adalah pengalaman holistik yang sangat efektif sebagai sarana penyembuhan (Healing) psikologis dan memicu Transformasi perilaku praktis seperti perbaikan sikap dalam pengambilan keputusan. Dimensi Keterhubungan Ilahi dan Transendensi merupakan inti spiritual yang dicapai melalui niat bersih dan ritual. Namun berdasarakan hasil wawancaram atmosphere Pura terganggu secara signifikan oleh inkonsistensi kebersihan fasilitas pendukung, meskipun kualitas air dan vibrasi spiritual sangat tinggi. Kesimpulan ini menunjukkan bahwa pengelolaan destinasi spiritual harus menyeimbangkan perlindungan integritas spiritual dengan peningkatan infrastruktur fisik untuk menjamin pengalaman optimal. Implikasi temuan ini mendesak pengelola Pura untuk memprioritaskan sanitasi.
