What people who stayed in the cabin say
I came away with a really powerful experience. Mainly as far as rest goes, both physical and mental. The cabin was like it was made to measure, everything was within reach, thank you very much, I’m starting to think about coming back.

I can only warmly recommend it. The cabin is cosy, clean, everything works without a problem. The care is sensitive and respectful. The food excellent. Everything you could wish for a stay alone with yourself. An ideal place.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know a dark retreat is for me?
Do you need to find yourself? Do you feel “disconnected”? Not sure what you actually want from life? Exhausted or stressed? Then a dark retreat – what we call a real holiday – is exactly for you
Why go into the dark near Kutná Hora of all places?
Because we genuinely enjoy dark retreats, and since 2013 we have been through a great deal with the people who come here. Because you might want to recharge your batteries. And because we will not push any religion or ideology or “wacky” esoteric views on you 😉
How should I prepare for a dark retreat?
Usually no great preparation is needed, because by the time you are thinking about a dark retreat you are in fact fully ready. We do have a few practical tips for you, though, on how to prepare at work and at home
Should I go for a week, or are 3 nights enough?
80% of dark retreats with us last a week. But if you really don’t feel up to a whole week, you can come for 3 nights and “try out” a dark retreat
How is the sanctuary equipped?
Each of the 5 dark retreat cabins is equipped the same way. There is a bed, a toilet, a shower, a meditation space, a heat pump for heating and cooling, and pleasant underfloor heating
What should I bring to a dark retreat?
Some people bring a musical instrument, others something to write with; above all we recommend comfortable clothes and a good mood
