<![CDATA[Every religious believer has a certain method to get closer to God. A deep desire to connect with God reflects spirituality that can change an individual's behaviour to be more positive. The interaction between Islam and Sapta Darma is a means to achieve inner peace that integrates physical and spiritual awareness. This research aims to describe the form of syncretism between Islam and Sapta Darma in Surabaya. The method used in this study is to combine field data and literature review with a qualitative approach.

Syncretic religiosity has become part of the society of Surabaya and functions as a local cultural identity.]]>
