How does darkness therapy work?

Pick a date and decide whether you want to come for a week, as most people do, or just try a dark retreat for 3 nights.

Week-long stays begin on Saturday evening; 3-night stays begin on Saturday or Wednesday.

Fill in your details in the booking form. If you have any trouble filling it in, give us a call or email us at info@lecba-tmou.cz and we will gladly help.

The contribution for a dark retreat can be paid in instalments from 500 CZK a month. Meals and bedding are provided free of charge. Once the booking deposit has arrived in our account, your date is entered in the calendar and you receive a confirmation email.

We have described how to get to us, whether by car, bus or train. Check-in is usually after 4 pm in winter time and after 6 pm in summer time, or any time later; we will agree the details by email. Before your dark retreat begins, we will ask whether you would like us to provide meals, so you can choose what you like and what you don’t. We can provide various kinds of food, from vegetarian to almost vegan or raw food.

Then we will tell you exactly how everything works, agree on communication signals and answer almost all of your questions (for some answers you will have to wait until you are in the dark 🙂

If you want to eat, we can provide fruit and muesli. In our experience, most people sleep through the first day or two. Every day we can bring herbal or fruit tea in a flask, a meal and fruit, or nuts and dried fruit. At that time we also ask how you are doing, and if you feel like talking, that is the right moment. If you prefer not to, we don’t come into your room but stay in the small hallway, so you have your space all to yourself. It is up to you, though – some people like to talk up close.

If you wish to be left completely alone, we can agree on no contact at all: you bring your own food, or we provide a week’s supply in advance according to your preferred diet.
