Pavla stayed with us in July and agreed to share how she herself saw her dark retreat.
My first dream in the dark
I found myself with my partner and a friend in an Indian restaurant, where at first I thought I had already finished my dark retreat, but I soon realised that wasn’t the case and started thinking about how I’d sneak back during the night, above all so that nobody would know I’d been away…
Now and then I had the feeling I could see red and white lights.
Eating spaghetti during darkness therapy is great fun
Mainly because you can’t see it, and when you think you’ve got at least one strand of spaghetti wound round your fork, wrong, you haven’t… and when you finally have, you get your chin thoroughly greasy putting the fork in your mouth, because the spaghetti is dangling off the fork, but you can’t see that 😀
Lenka’s cooking for darkness therapy is excellent, and your taste buds are sure to be satisfied; you’ll enjoy everything she cooks and bakes for you.
Sounds during the dark retreat
I really welcomed the sounds from outside, because they let me tell day from night.
For the last two days there was no work on the house being built nearby, so it was almost silent – long days for thoughts and Faster EFT
Daybreak after darkness therapy
On Saturday, a wake-up call at 4 in the morning at dawn, with a clear sky and a full moon shining straight onto the sanctuary door, and sunrise about an hour later, which I really … really … enjoyed.
