The dark retreat was an interesting experience for me; next time I would choose a week instead of 2 days. The darkness was pleasant, soft, all-pervading. I got used to it surprisingly quickly, didn’t resist it, and lost all sense of time. It felt liberating – not rushing after anything, simply being and feeling my body.
When my stay was over, I went out to watch the sunrise. It was beautiful and I felt deep gratitude. During the retreat I realised how important it is not to resist the darkness when it comes to visit us, and to thank it instead. How else could we appreciate the light? 🙂
Wishing you lovely autumn days, full of colour and love
