Dear friends of dark retreats,
if you would like to go into a dark retreat one year and come out the next, this year you have the chance to do so.
However, you will need to be fully self-sufficient.
This means that you won’t have visits from a guide and you won’t be given any food.
We will give you a carton of bottled water (just in case the power goes off); you will need to bring your own food.
If the power did go off, the sanctuary should stay warm for a week without any problems, as it is almost passive, and the air will last for 14 days even without ventilation.
A dark retreat over Christmas 2015
So this dark retreat is meant for those of you who want absolute peace and perhaps even to fast for a week.
Arrival would have to be on Saturday 26.12. between 9 and 10 in the morning, and departure on the morning of 2.1.
We are going away for the holidays to the other end of the country, leaving on 26.12. around midday and not coming back until New Year’s Day (maybe a few days earlier), but to be on the safe side, assume that we really won’t be at the dark retreat centre.
If you are going on a dark retreat for the first time, please think carefully about whether a retreat without a guide is right for you. A dark retreat without a guide isn’t only for “old hands”, but you do need to think it through and only send a booking if you are sure it feels right.
We will be glad to answer any questions about the Christmas 2015 dark retreat
At the time of writing, there is space in 2 sanctuaries.
P.S. Now fully booked, thank you for such huge interest.
