Our Programs
What Makes a Field Village?
Each year, The Fields transform into a village woven together by people, ideas and shared experiences. They become a living field of energy and exchange, where cultures collide, creativity moves freely and unexpected encounters shift the way we see the world.
Here, you'll discover the meaning behind our Field Village and explore what this year's communal gathering has to offer as we embrace the idea of rootedness—the feeling of being connected to the land, ancestry, ecology and one another.
Celebrating as a Village
Inspired by the diverse cultures found across Thailand and the region, this vibrant village celebrates our shared heritage and the differences that enrich us all through music, food, movement and celebration, while embracing self-sustaining practices that strengthen our connection to one another and the world around us.
Rituals & Ceremonies
We draw on rituals and ceremonies from diverse cultural traditions that nurture well-being and bring communities together. Each takes a different form, creating shared presence and strengthening our connection to each other and the places we inhabit.
Dhyana, Non-Duality in Everyday Life
Curated by Black Turtle, Dhyana takes inspiration from Sahaja to explore awakening through simple, direct experience. Through rituals and practices rooted in non-duality, Wonderers are invited to expand awareness and reconnect with their intrinsic wisdom.
Music Guided by The Sun
Since the beginning of Wonderfruit, every trip around the sun has brought us back to Solar Village. It is a tradition to gather and celebrate the rhythm of the day, punctuated by sunrise and sunset, through music from bands and DJs alike.
Sounds of
The Fields
The Fields become a playground for sound, where musicians and artists across disciplines use sound as the starting point for creative expression. Experience fresh sounds from the region and beyond, sparking curiosity and new ways of listening.
Intermission, our platform for emerging talent
Since 2015, Intermission has been a launchpad for emerging unsigned bands, providing a space for under-the-radar local talent. Selected artists receive one-on-one mentorship from producer Howie B, plus support and artist benefits from Siam Music Yamaha.
From Sound to Screen: The World of Nick Dwyer
Across three evenings, film and live performance take over three venues across The Fields. Documentary filmmaker Nick Dwyer premieres a new series of short films, each paired with a live musical response that extends the film's narrative through sound.
Global and Regional Sounds
Discover artists who expand our perception and reveal musical worlds beyond our own. Across The Fields, artists rooted in diverse traditions and subcultures create a cultural exchange through eclectic sonic languages, bringing our worlds closer together.
Root Music
Molam World celebrates the spirit of Isaan through creativity, food and culture. This year, we expand beyond regional boundaries to embrace a global musical landscape. At Haan Molam, we explore homegrown sounds worldwide and the heritage they carry.
SONIC MINDS
Our collaboration with MSCTY_Studio explores sound, space and well-being across The Fields. This year, we pay homage to the harmonies of land, history and nature through Thai classical sounds and instrumentalists from Thailand, Japan and beyond.
Stories to eat
Celebrating the region's diversity through food, ingredients are sourced locally from Thailand and nearby landscapes. This year, we explore our relationships with the land and one another, tracing how recipes, ingredients and culinary practices travel across generations and places.
At Open Kitchen, Knowledge Shared Through Ingredients and Passed Down Recipes
Open Kitchen is a women-led culinary ecosystem across two open-air floors. Life's Market, by Auntie Chan, celebrates ancestral wisdom through five zones with onsite-grown ingredients, traditional foods, drinks and workshops. Upstairs, Ma's Kitchen, by Lady GooGoo, serves an authentic Burmese menu inspired by her grandmother's cookbook. Guests slip off their shoes, settle onto floor cushions as if stepping into her home, and share “Ah Myee”, Burmese drinking snacks.
A Living Kitchen Rooted in The Community
In our home for communal dining, Wonder Kitchen, we explore culinary wisdom shaped by creativity and the resources of our land. This year, we connect directly with the wisdom keepers shaping our food culture, uncovering the stories behind the ingredients and the food we eat. Through chef's tables, experiential dining and workshops, hundreds of Wonderers gather around the table to connect with the people, places and traditions that continue to shape our culinary culture.
Rooted in wisdom and practice
Wonderness, the heart of The Fields, returns to the center. “Rooted in the Inner Axis”, this year’s wellness theme invites us to return to the still point within before turning outward.
Anchored by Axis Mundi, Wonderness brings together elemental practices, movement, Thai medicinal wisdom and shared traditions to restore balance from within.
Lead by Nature
Through nature-led activities and workshops, medicinal plant knowledge, wellness practices, rituals and contemplative experiences, we cultivate access to inner wisdom as a pathway to a deeper relationship with one another, the land and the cycles of nature that sustain village life. For us, nature provides habitat, clothing, nourishment and medicine, while remaining our greatest teacher.
Guided Through Movement
Dance, rhythm and collective movement turn gathering into a ritual of release, inviting the body to loosen, the senses to open and energy to move between us. Movement becomes a way to listen, let go and return to the intelligence of the body.
Living through the arts
In The Fields, installations and performances invite deeper engagement, encouraging Wonderers to engage with art, their senses and the world around. Each work is shaped by site and spirit, born from the elements and shared through connection.
Art Installations
Where New Beginnings Take Root
Co-programmed with art curator Aaditya Sathish, Unconditional Space presents 'Tropicality: New Beginnings', bringing together artists and practitioners to explore rebirth and origins through art, performance, conversations, and expanded cinema.
