We get some very interesting requests: for example, that an hour or two before a dark retreat begins, the participant can “cleanse” the space in the sanctuary by chanting mantras.
In the dark there is love and light
We firmly believe that love is the driving force of the universe. We believe that without love there would be no light, and without light there would be no darkness therapy.
That is why we believe that all actions are an expression of love, and that through these actions we experience love more and more and come to know the light.
So we have no problem at all if you want to chant mantras in the sanctuary, or pray, or practise yoga or any other exercise. If you want to cultivate the 6 virtues of the heart, practise NLP or EFT, or any other neuro / psychological method, that is entirely up to you.
Darkness therapy and religion
Darkness therapy is suitable for everyone, regardless of religion, political belief, race or faith. Your language or place of birth don’t matter at all. What matters is only that you feel you should go on a dark retreat.
If you would like any music to be played on a player for a few hours before you arrive, we will be glad to do that for you. Just send it to us in MP3 format and we will take care of it.
Darkness therapy and food
The only thing we won’t give you during darkness therapy is meat, bones and joints and products made from them. It isn’t that a pig is more important than a mosquito. We know that no action is simply good or bad. But we have decided to serve only vegetarian food.
