What is a Dark Retreat?

A darkness retreat is a period of time spent in complete darkness. It is an opportunity to return to the innermost parts of ourselves.

Darkness reveals and reflects, while inviting us into the honest and unfiltered experience of our humanness. It invites us beyond what we know to be true.

When we remove light and stimulation from the outer world, a shift begins to take place. The body becomes more attuned, and a deeper listening begins to emerge.

Darkness helps us to deconstruct and transform who we believe ourselves to be. The results are often a deeper connection to a more authentic and evolved version of ourselves.

There is no right or wrong way to journey with darkness, each experience is entirely unique. Darkness does not rush or demand. It simply holds us, quietly and tenderly, exactly as we are, with an intuitive precision for what is ready to be met.
