Dark retreat – participants’ experiences
The experiences of dark retreat participants can be summed up in these most common points:
- A deeper understanding of yourself
- A more contented life
- Renewed relationships with those close to you

We don’t know of anyone who has regretted darkness therapy. Regardless of age, gender or profession, participants rate their dark retreat positively and say it was the right thing for them.

Darkness therapy experiences are subjective
Please bear in mind that the feelings and course of a dark retreat are individual, and that other participants’ experiences may create expectations in you.

Lucie – I miss the darkness
For me, a dark retreat wasn't just a crazy idea of the moment.
Ivana – the dark retreat was short
What was a week in the dark like? Short. I didn't think ahead about what it would be like in the dark; inside, I knew that I wanted it (and probably that I already knew it).

Hi everyone, I've been asked to write about my dark retreat.
