7-Day Dark Retreat in Mondsee
Mondsee, Austria
$1,029 / 7 Days
A retreat based on the teachings of Advaita Vedanta, the non-dual philosophy. At its core is a simple, often overlooked insight: Mental suffering rarely stems from the external situation itself, but rather from what the mind makes of it—judgments, stories, and old inner patterns. A tension arises between what is and the idea of how things should be. This retreat invites you to see through this tension.
The path does not lie in new methods, but in perceiving and accepting what arises. Those who wish to experience this intensely choose the darkness; those seeking an easier entry point choose the “in the light” format—as individual guidance or a weekend retreat in a small group.
Duration and format of your choice: from a weekend to several weeks, in daylight or in the dark, individually or in a small group. Location: Kelkheim in the Taunus Mountains. A free preliminary consultation will help determine which format is right for you.
The most important facts in a nutshell:
Alone, in pairs, or in a group of up to eight participants
Whether you're traveling alone or as a couple, you'll be staying at the house
Self-organized group housing—we're here to help
