When is it particularly advisable to go on a dark retreat?

A dark retreat can be beneficial for people at different stages of life, but there are certain times when it can be particularly effective:

1. transitional periods: Times of transition, such as after completing a life stage, before starting a new career or during a personal crisis, can be ideal opportunities for a dark retreat. The intensive time in the dark can help you to gain clarity and emerge stronger from the transition phase.

2. self-discovery and personal development: If someone is striving for more self-understanding or wants to delve deeper into their personal development, a dark retreat can offer valuable knowledge and insights. It can help to detach from external influences and focus entirely on the inner world.

3. burnout prevention and stress reduction: People suffering from chronic stress or burnout can benefit from a dark retreat as it allows for an intense period of relaxation and regeneration. The absence of visual stimuli and external distractions can help to calm the mind and experience deep relaxation.

4. spiritual search and development: For people who are on a spiritual search or want to further their spiritual growth, a dark retreat can be a transformative experience. The darkness can help to deepen spiritual experiences and create a deeper connection to inner sources of wisdom.

Overall, a dark retreat is suitable for anyone longing for deep self-knowledge, spiritual growth, stress relief or personal transformation. It is important that participants are open and willing to engage in the experience and accept the challenges of darkness.

What do you get in the dark space:
- Deep self-awareness: the absence of visual stimuli allows you to focus fully on your inner thoughts and emotions, leading to deeper self-knowledge.
- Strengthening intuition: Darkness promotes the development of your intuitive abilities and enables you to hear and understand your inner voice more clearly.
- Stress reduction and relaxation: The dark retreat provides an ideal environment to reduce stress and experience profound relaxation as you can completely detach yourself from external distractions.
- Creativity enhancement: The darkness can stimulate creativity and help you to generate new ideas and overcome creative blocks.
- Spiritual growth: Through the intense time in the dark, you can have spiritual experiences and connect with higher levels of consciousness, leading to deeper spiritual growth.
- Improved sleep quality: Many participants report an improvement in their sleep quality after the dark retreat, as they have learned to relax and calm down better.
- Clarification of life goals: Darkness allows you to focus on essential life goals and gain clarity on what is really important in life.
- Stronger connection to yourself and others: By taking a close look at yourself, you can also deepen your relationships with other people and build a more authentic connection with them.

The accompaniment

As an experienced companion for the dark, I have run two long retreats on my own over the years and have been regularly accompanying people on their inner journeys for four years. My focus is to ensure that my clients are in a safe environment where they can fully open up and explore their innermost thoughts and feelings. Every evening I am personally present in the space to guide the process, reflect on the day and look together with my clients at what is currently on the agenda, what issues can be worked on and what might come up the next day. The feedback from my clients confirms time and again that they feel well looked after during their stay and are extremely satisfied with the support they receive over the entire period.

Welcome to our ecological oasis of peace! Our newly built small apartment, surrounded by old trees, offers a harmonious ambience. The clay plaster and wall heating create an optimal indoor climate for relaxation and inner work.
Our smoke-free and artistically designed apartment meets the highest building biology standards.
Thanks to modern technology, it remains pleasantly cool in summer and warm and dry in winter. The ventilation system ensures fresh air, while the extension provides a quiet environment away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The apartment is completely darkened for your dark retreat, so that no rays of light can get through. In addition, the apartment is very well insulated with triple-glazed windows and ensures unusual silence.
Step inside and experience the perfection of sustainable living - your own separate oasis of security.

During the dark retreat, the food is carefully put together. At lunchtime, a balanced, organic vegetarian or vegan meal rich in raw vegetables is provided. The food is brought in. Breakfast is arranged independently and includes a selection of fruit and muesli. The water, which is available throughout the day, is filtered by a Bestwater system to ensure the highest quality. In addition, tea is available at all times to make your stay more pleasant.

Welcome to your dark retreat, a time of self-discovery and personal development dedicated entirely to you.

Before you book your dark retreat, we will have a short chat to get to know each other and answer any questions you may have.

Together we will determine the duration of the retreat and clarify whether it is right for you.

We count in nights, just like when booking a hotel room.
Whereby the minimum for a dark retreat is 600€ (without accompaniment)

Arrival from 16:00 - start of the beginning ritual in the dark at 20:00 on day 1.

Departure for daylight at 9:00 on the last day. Departure until 12:00.

As soon as 30% of the amount has been paid, a place is reserved for you.

Three days before the start of the retreat I will contact you again by telephone. You will then arrive at the retreat center in the afternoon of the first day, so you can slowly arrive and settle in.

You will receive an evening meal from us and then we will go to your rooms together. As soon as you have blown out the candle, your retreat officially begins. We begin with a protection ritual and a guided "inner light" meditation.

You will receive two to three meals a day.

To ensure that you remain undisturbed, you will prepare your own breakfast. Muesli, oat milk, yoghurt, fruit and puree are available in your individual kitchen. We will quietly bring a warm lunch to your accommodation, and we will also bring your evening meal.

Your companion will visit you once a day for about an hour. They will bring their extensive knowledge and experience to reflect on the day with you. On request, guided meditations can be carried out to support the process.

Integration work is another important tool that helps us to integrate the parts revealed during the day and ensure that you stay centered.

Here are some activities that can be done during your dark retreat:
**Meditation:** A core practice to calm the mind and create a deeper connection to the inner self.
**Yoga:** A valuable addition to harmonize body and mind and promote mental clarity.
**Breathing exercises:** Practices such as Vipassana meditation help to regulate the breath and deepen relaxation to stay in the present moment.
**Creative activities:** Time for artistic expression such as writing, drawing or making music to stimulate creativity and find new inspiration.
**Self-reflection:** The darkness provides space for deep self-reflection and exploration of personal issues and spiritual questions.
**Rest and relaxation:** Simply enjoy the silence and darkness to relax, recharge your batteries and focus on yourself.

The program is extremely flexible, you finally have time off, so to speak!!!

and you can live according to your own needs, be it staying calm, doing physical exercises, being quiet, singing or shouting, meditating or eating.

You are also allowed to receive visitors from friends as long as you remain in the dark the entire time. The most important thing is that you use the time in the dark retreat to discover yourself and develop yourself further.
