Softening the walls of the mind
Discovering practices and rituals with curiosity and sympathy
Mind
We think of well-being as harmony, a non-dual approach to life. In The Fields, we cultivate our awareness of the mind and embrace nature, body, creativity, spirit and cultural expressions.
We invite people to recognize the profound truth that the most sacred space lies within us. At Unconditional Space, we explore unlearning to relearn, guided by the rhythm of rituals. Structure and repetition become our allies as we adopt cyclical practices that nurture and connect our inner landscapes. Expressions of this journey also unfold in spaces like Dhyana, where Wonderers practice universal rituals like making offerings, mantras and symbolic gestures.
At the heart of The Fields stands Wonderness, anchored as the Axis Mundi, the energetic center point of Wonderfruit. This year, Wonderness expands to connect our lower fields, reflecting the sacred geometry of the Flower of Life. Its branches extend to the mysteries of Unconditional Space, the sounds of the Forest Stage and the connections to water at Bath House, illustrating the interconnectedness of all things at Wonderfruit.
We are fascinated by the questions and realizations that emerge when navigating the unknown. As these mysteries gradually become familiar, we hope these realizations serve you beyond Wonderfruit, guiding your journey of discovery through new experiences embraced with the wonder and awe of the mind.
Growing with the land
A journey of reciprocity with nature and humanity
Nature
We have always treated our land as a creative space for regeneration and renewal. We commit to its future, believing the more life we put into it, the more wisdom we receive from it. At the same time, we are growing alongside our land, and this shared journey is both a profound inward and outward transformation.
This year at Wonderfruit, we invite you to explore the interconnectedness of nature and humanity. In collaboration with TK Architects and our friends at Baan Suan Onsorn, we're setting out on a journey to rewild and landscape The Fields. The Ancestral Forest is expanding with distinct areas for medicinal plants and herbs and The Farm emerges as a home for permaculture, blending biodiversity and sustenance. We're even growing a small, wild fruit orchard.
Our efforts go beyond planting trees; we're committed to improving soil quality and restoring water tables. Our goal is to become self-sufficient regarding water management and retain as much water as possible within the Fields, demonstrating how we create circularity and sustainability from the ground up.
The well-being of our land is as important as our own. By nurturing this bond, we create a future where both nature and humanity thrive together. Join us in this journey of growth and discovery.
The latent power of sound
Exploring the multiple dimensions of sound
Sound
We recognize sound as more than just hearing music; it's an audio-tactile experience that profoundly affects the conscious and subconscious mind. Different frequencies uniquely enhance our moods and emotions.
At Wonderfruit, we explore sounds and the emotions they create. From the joy of hearing a favorite song to the therapeutic benefits of rhythms and melodies on the mind, body and spirit, we seek to uncover the intricate interplay between sound and mind.
This year, explore different sound modalities in The Fields. Hear expressions of music unfold as installations at Polygon Live, field recordings at Forest Stage and focused deep listening at Enfold alongside site-specific sound and art installations and more experiences uniquely shaped by their environments. We'll also be working with MSCTY Studio and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) on a series of experiments and outputs that will explore and deliver ideas and ways of thinking through music, sound, health and well-being.
Join us in immersing yourself in the power of sound and discover how sounds can transform your Wonderfruit experience and beyond The Fields.
Celebrating connection through culture
Experience the social connections of creative communities
Celebrate
At Wonderfruit, culture reverberates with profound resonance. We see it as the way humans create and connect with one another—a bond that bridges generations and communities. It tells stories and expresses the essence of creativity while acting as a language to communicate. Using celebratory expressions as a variable of culture, we are guided on a joyful journey of exploration and discovery in The Fields that honors traditions and generational wisdom.
From the immersive celebrations at Molam World that celebrate the rich history of Isaan through music, traditions, food, workshops and performances to the unexpected musical expressions at venues like Neramit, Creature Stage and Forbidden Fruit, these spaces serve as a tribute to diversity. At Indigo World, workshops explore the symbiotic relationship between land and community, turning the transfer of knowledge into a blue-hued celebration.
This collective journey not only entertains but also educates, offering a platform where celebration becomes a powerful vehicle for cultural exchange and appreciation.
Stories to eat
Connecting through shared culinary journeys
Nourish
At Wonderfruit, stories come to life through culinary expressions. Each plate carries testaments to generations of knowledge that underscores nourishment as the foundation of health, social and environmental connection. Through unique menus, potent elixirs and distinctive dining traditions, we offer a taste of perpetual and timeless practices.
Communal dining brings people together, sharing stories and meals through The Fields the art of lovingly prepared recipes. Through workshops and collaborations with local communities, our venues—like Open Kitchen, Jungle House, Forest Bar and the new Solar Tea House—become stages that showcase the joy of food. Grounded in the belief that these communal dining rituals enrich social bonds, Wonder Kitchen expands to become the primary venue for chef's tables. Meanwhile, Theatre of Eats debuts as an evolution, presenting a regional Thai food circle where Wonderers can eat, educate and engage.
The farm grows to nourish both body and spirit, cultivating a deeper connection to the land and the food it provides. It's a place where the act of growing and sharing food becomes a celebration of sustainability, heritage, and community.
In this delicious intersection of flavors and stories, we invite Wonderers to savor not just dishes but the richness of cultural vibrancy upon which Wonderfruit's immersive experiences are created.
