💡 On her path towards deeper self-knowledge, a young woman discovered a way to look into her inner self from a completely new perspective. Inspired by something Jaroslav Dušek had mentioned, she decided to try something ordinary life does not readily offer – a dark retreat lasting several days.
During her darkness therapy she sensed an immense kindness in her surroundings. She was left alone with herself, free of the distractions of the outside world, and gradually began to realise that it is precisely silence and darkness that open the door to listening more deeply to your own thoughts and feelings. “In the paradox of darkness, I suddenly saw myself much more clearly,” she said of her experience.
Each day brought new insights. Thoughts that used to get lost in the everyday rush were given room. She found calm within herself, and with it the strength to keep going on her path of personal growth. She felt that it is in the dark that answers are born to questions she had long been putting off.
For her, the dark retreat meant not only slowing down but also meeting her own soul. She sensed that there is no need to search for anything outside – the most important answers come from within. The darkness became a place where you meet yourself quite naturally, without any pretence.
Darkness therapy thus offers a way to disconnect from the noise of the outside world and reconnect with your true nature. She describes the experience she took away as deeply human, kind and enriching. It opened up new ways of looking at life and reassured her that a path to inner peace really does exist.
