Hello Tomáš,
I enjoyed my dark retreat for several reasons. In terms of comfort, the cabin provides an ideal environment. There’s nothing superfluous, everything is new and clean, and despite its simplicity it gives you a sense of comfort and safety.
The support from Tom and Lenka is excellent – plenty of hotels could learn from their level of customer service. 🙂
The darkness therapy itself lived up to my expectations. You really do calm down, tune in to yourself and gain new perspectives. You do have to want it, though, because the real shift only happens right towards the end (day 4 onwards). That is, of course, also when you’ve got used to life in the dark and your brain runs out of the impressions it had been supplying you with on its own until then. For me personally, that was the moment when what I’d come for began.
Even though I doubted several times during the retreat whether I’d manage it, I’ll remember that feeling when you step outside for a long time. If I ever need a mental detox in the future, I’ll definitely be back.
Will that do? 😉
Thanks once again,
Ondra
