Me before darkness therapy
I’m a university student, used to being constantly on the go and slowly getting used to the way the world works. I’d been interested in darkness therapy for a while, so I was really looking forward to my dark retreat and had big expectations.
Now I’m in the dark
It was only in the dark that I realised how transactional my approach to a lot of things is – I expect some obvious, immediate return instead of appreciating what has come. In everyday life there is plenty of time to run away from things and keep yourself busy in all sorts of ways other than actually dealing with what’s troubling you.
A week of dark retreat
was the complete opposite for me: a chance to think, to plan, to make up my mind about lots of things and finally close the book on many others. Still, like everything, it’s a journey, a process, and now, after a week of rest, I can set out on it with new energy and enthusiasm.
