Abstract

Arat Sabulungan is a local religion originating from the Mentawai Islands in North Sumatra. It serves as a guiding framework for the Mentawai people, influencing their policies, values, and social behavior. The teachings of Arat Sabulungan emphasize the importance of maintaining balance between God, humans, and nature. As a result, nature becomes a central aspect of the Mentawai people's efforts to preserve environmental integrity. This research, conducted through an ethnographic study, explores Arat Sabulungan as a form of learning media management. It views the local religion as a source of spiritual values that can be integrated into education. The findings support the argument that Arat Sabulungan serves as a source of spiritual inspiration for learning media management through religious education, shaping attitudes and behaviors grounded in spiritual principles. In conclusion, the study highlights how religious values, local belief systems, and education reinforce one another to meet the evolving needs of modern education.
