This study aims to analyze the influence of the Suronan tradition on improving the social spirituality of the community in Ngawonggo Village, Malang Regency, East Java. The primary focus is to understand how cultural and religious rituals performed during the 1 Suro observance interact with the community’s spiritual dispositions, as interpreted through the concepts of communitas and moral habitus within symbolic anthropology. This research employs a qualitative methodology, utilizing participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to explore the symbolic significance, spiritual importance, and social functions of the Suronan tradition. The findings indicate that the observance of Suronan not only serves as an annual ritual but also enhances social cohesion, deepens spiritual consciousness, and provides an opportunity for reflection on values of unity and life. Suronan functions as a medium through which social and spiritual meanings are reproduced and negotiated, thereby contributing to the development of a more robust social spirituality. Consequently, this study concludes that the Suronan tradition plays a strategic role in fostering social harmony while strengthening the spiritual identity of the residents of Ngawonggo Village.

Artikel ini mengkaji tradisi Suronan di Desa Ngawonggo, Kecamatan Tajinan, Kabupaten Malang. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana tradisi Suronan membentuk dan memediasi bentuk-bentuk spiritualitas sosial dalam komunitas, tanpa mengasumsikan terlebih dahulu adanya “peningkatan” sebagai hasil normatif melainkan memahaminya sebagai proses sosial dan spiritual. Fokus utamanya adalah memahami bagaimana ritual budaya dan keagamaan setiap 1 Suro berinteraksi dengan disposisi spiritual masyarakat, yang dipahami melalui konsep communitas dan moral habitus dalam antropologi simbolik. Penelitian menggunakan metodologi kualitatif berorientasi interpretivis antropologi simbolik melalui observasi partisipatif, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa Suronan bukan sekadar ritual tahunan, tetapi arena dinamis tempat nilai antargenerasi dinegosiasikan, ikatan komunal diteguhkan, dan resistensi simbolik terhadap narasi keagamaan dominan diartikulasikan. Tradisi ini berkontribusi pada konfigurasi spiritualitas sosial dengan menghubungkan warisan budaya lokal dan praktik keagamaan sehari-hari. Keseluruhan dinamika tersebut menegaskan bahwa Suronan memiliki peran strategis dalam menstrukturkan harmoni sosial sekaligus memperkuat identitas spiritual masyarakat.
