Day to Day of a Dark Retreat
**Below is the outline for our 6 day retreat package, which includes one night before entering darkness, four nights in complete darkness, and one night after emerging.
Day 1 Arrival day. Settle into your private dome and begin to familiarize yourself with the space. Take time to ground, rest, and connect with fellow guests. At dinner, a sample of all menu items will be provided to help orient you to the meals that will be served in the darkness.
Day 2 Participate in an integrative intake session. Spend the day exploring the land or visiting the ocean. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in the communal dome and are prepared by our on-site chef. After dinner, each guest returns to their private dome and enters darkness in their own time.
Day 3 Each day in darkness includes a morning visit from one of our integrative team members to check in on your well-being, with breakfast and lunch delivered together to your dome. All meals are chef-prepared and follow the preferences noted during your intake. In the evening, another check-in is offered along with dinner. These points of contact help you feel accompanied and supported during your process.
Day 4 The schedule continues with morning and evening check-ins, and meals delivered directly to your dome. On this day, guests have the option to receive a craniosacral session while remaining in darkness. This subtle, body-based therapy supports the nervous system and creates space for deeper integration within the body.
Day 5 Morning and evening check-ins continue, with nourishing meals brought quietly to your space. The experience is deepening by this point, as layers of thought, sensation, and emotion begin to reorganize themselves within the stillness.
Day 6 Emerge from darkness with the support of one of our integrative team members. You’ll be given time on your own before gathering for lunch in the communal dome, where there is space to share, reflect, and begin integrating your experience with others.
Day 7 Departure day, unless prior arrangements have been made for an extended stay.
All meals are chef prepared and are included from the time of your arrival up until breakfast on your day of departure.
