As 2025 almost comes to end, do you feel overwhelmed and stress out? Then Jogja and Surakarta are the best destinations for November. Both Jogja Cultural Wellness Festival (JCWF) and Royal Surakarta Wellness Festival (RSWF) are happening every weekend all month long, from November 1st to 30th, 2025.
Today, let us inspire you with JCWF 2025.
It isn’t just a festival. It’s a community-based celebration dedicated to healing, balance, and the profound wisdom of Javanese culture. The festival is built on the theme of Salarasing Urip—a philosophy of finding true harmony in life.
The JCWF is designed to help you reconnect with yourself and nature. Forget the endless scrolling and an overloaded inbox; this is your chance to:
- Heal Your Body: Learn the secrets of jamu (traditional herbal medicine) in a “Healthy Food and Herbals” workshop or nourish yourself with “Healthy Eat” classes.
- Calm Your Mind: Participate in powerful “Spiritual Wellness” sessions, including laughter yoga (Yoga Ketawa) with Laughter Yoga Indonesia, guided walking meditations through historic Jero Beteng (the palace fortress) or sunset yoga at Laguna Pantai Glagah.
- Nourish Your Soul: Join “Harmony in Wellness” workshops that blend healing sessions with captivating music and art performances.
- Reconnect with Nature: Get involved in “Eco-Friendly Living” demos, tree-planting activities, and even a “Spogomi” event (a fun walk while picking up litter).
- Heal Your Inner Self: Explore workshops on “Natural Beauty, Family, and Inner Child,” designed to help you heal old wounds and strengthen family bonds through activities like family yoga.
📍 What’s Happening and Where?
The festival is spread across various locations in Yogyakarta, each chosen to enhance the experience. From Mustika Yogyakarta Resort and Spa to Asram Edupark.
The Marketplace/Bazaar area is open to the public with free entry, using a clean recycled plastic bottle as a symbolic admission ticket, part of the eco-friendly movement.
