Beautiful autumn colours 2026 – dark retreat cabins and garden

Published

In early November 2026 the garden around our dark retreat cabins turned such colours that I grabbed my phone and walked all the way round it in ten minutes. Cabins in fallen leaves, benches, the gazebo, the orchard and the last apples on the trees. This is what awaits participants when they step outside for the first time after darkness therapy in autumn.
