For many people, a dark retreat is a path to deeper self-knowledge. One of our guests shared his impressions of darkness therapy, which allowed him to experience something he had been missing in everyday life – the space to be himself and to listen to his own thoughts.
“Well, I feel great,” he began. The dark retreat gave him the chance to stop and be at peace, without the constant stream of thoughts that so often overwhelms us. For him it was an opportunity to switch off and focus on the present moment.
One of the strongest experiences was that he could simply be himself. No distractions, and no need to fit in with anyone else. That helped him discover what he really feels and what his inner needs are.
“I had time just to be with myself and really listen to my feelings,” he said of his experience. Darkness therapy brought him not only calm but also space to realise what truly matters in life. What’s more, he is taking away several resolutions from the retreat that he wants to put into practice.
Our guests’ experiences of darkness therapy are unique, and everyone lives through this time differently. For some it is a way to find inner peace; for others, an opportunity to gain new insights into their lives.
