I set out on this journey at a moment when I felt I needed a change. When I came back, I felt as if I had been born again. I felt relief in both my soul and my body, and I could clearly sense the difference between the physical and the psychological level. It was exactly this connection that was one of the most powerful moments DARKNESS THERAPY gave me.
A space where I could stop
The decision to go into the dark ripened in me gradually. It wasn’t an impulse but an inner calling. The dark retreat opened up a space for me where I could stop and truly listen to myself. The silence and complete darkness helped me set the outside world aside and sink more deeply into my own experience. Thanks to this I could relax and let everything flow naturally.
Gentle support during the retreat
During the retreat I also noticed small things that supported me. Headphones and audio recordings played a big part for me. I only put on meditation music on the last day, but that was exactly when a very powerful experience came. I felt connected to myself and to all the beings I sensed somewhere “above us”. It was a deep, intense and at the same time very gentle moment.
A lightness that stayed
When I finished the dark retreat, I felt as light as a feather. This feeling stayed with me as a natural result of the whole of the DARKNESS THERAPY. It wasn’t just a rest but a deep inner experience that brought me peace and gratitude.
Support that gave me courage
The support of the people around me was important too. My friends told me I had never had an experience like this and that I should go for it. Their words encouraged me and helped me trust my own decision.
Coming back to myself
Today I can see that DARKNESS THERAPY was not an escape from the world for me, but a return to myself. The dark retreat gave me space to calm down, to connect more deeply and to new realisations. The experience left me with lightness, calm and the feeling that I am a little closer to myself again.
