Transformation processes in dark retreat

Connecting what is separated - healing wounds - BEING

Abstract

Dark retreat is a voluntary, conscious retreat into a completely darkened space to embark on an inner journey of exploration for the purpose of self-experience and realization of the true nature of reality. Staying in the dark room naturally heals and transforms the conditioned psyche and body through deep realizations gained through experience. Like an onion, everything that is known to the conditioned ego and that it clings to is dissolved layer by layer. At the same time, the core energy – that which the individual is in the innermost part of his or her being, in the depth of his or her heart – becomes more visible, more tangible and more alive again. An extended stay in the dark space allows the person to grow beyond himself or herself, and his or her humanity to blossom to full maturity. All levels (spiritual, mental, emotional, physical) fall into a natural order. More and more, the true self is allowed to take the lead inside the person and to create a peaceful, compassionate reality that is characterized by unconditional love and is in harmony with the higher cosmic order.
