What is a dark retreat?
Put simply, it is a holiday for your senses. You find yourself in a completely dark cabin where you see nothing at all – not even your own hand in front of your face. Your mind is suddenly freed from visual input, and at last you have the space to truly turn inward. A dark retreat is a wholly private, intimate form of darkness therapy.
Why should you try darkness therapy?
Stop time: When did you last feel you had time just for yourself? A dark retreat lets you disconnect from the world completely. Without distracting stimuli, your body and mind begin to find their balance again. And believe me, it is a wonderful feeling.
An experience you will never forget: Don’t expect to sit around bored in the dark. The longer you stay, the more you become aware of the power of your own imagination. People often experience fascinating visual images, colours and shapes – a kind of natural show playing inside your head.
Awaken your creativity: Somewhere between deep calm and fresh inner insights, your creativity wakes up. You can get clear on things you have been putting off for a long time, or find new paths for your personal or professional growth.
What will a dark retreat give you?
The perfect reset: Forget the wellness weekend – a dark retreat is the new luxury.
Depth and awareness: Pause and focus on what really matters. A dark retreat gives you an unexpected opportunity for introspection and self-reflection.
An experience beyond your comfort zone: Are you ready for something out of the ordinary? The dark cabin is the place where you overcome the fear of the unknown and discover the power of stillness.
How does a dark retreat work?
You come to our village, to a calm and quiet orchard setting, where an ecological wooden cabin awaits you, built for complete isolation from light. Darkness becomes your guide on the journey into the depths of your mind. After a few nights, you start to perceive time differently. Everything becomes simpler and calmer, and your thoughts take on a new dimension.
