Darkness Retreat

This retreat is for you if you are seeking something more...

In the darkness, we come face to face with ourselves, learning to become our own best friends and lovers.

We heal, reconnect, and activate hidden qualities within us that are often suppressed in the busyness of daily life.

When the stories end, eternity begins.

Package Inclusion:

What is normally included:

Welcoming Session: Begin your journey with a grounding meditation, offering guidance for setting intentions and holding space for meaningful conversations about facing fears. Together, we'll create a foundation of clarity and courage to support you on the path ahead.
Traditional Blessing Ceremony: In the spiritually vibrant energy of Bali, we receive a sacred blessing from the waters. This ritual marks the release of the old, supporting us as we step onto a new, empty platform before journeying into The Darkness.
Final Evening Fire: As the doors to The Darkness close, we gather around the last evening fire. Each night, a fire will be lit outside your “cave” to maintain your spirit and keep the transformational flame alive. Though you won’t see this light within The Darkness, its energy will be felt deeply. In harmony with Balinese tradition, daily offerings and prayers will be made for you outside your "cave," blessing your journey.
Daily Meals: Three time a day (or twice a day according to your wish), a healthy, customized meal will be delivered to you in The Darkness. While we have a special menu prepared, we are happy to adapt to your dietary preferences. If you're considering water fasting during your time in The Darkness, we’re open to discussing this option as part of your journey.
Final Fire Ceremony: As you prepare to emerge from The Darkness, we re-enter the world with care and intention. At sunset hour, the doors will open, allowing your eyes to gently adjust to the light. You are invited to join the last evening meal around your Sacred Camp Fire, spending one final night in your "cave." With the soft glow of light now accompanying you, you’ll have time to integrate the experience and journal until the morning sun rises, marking the end of your journey.

Testimonials

Spencer

“She described it as a womb and that’s what it was, really safe and cozy.

For me it was like a party in there.

I already had a good relationship with the darkness. For me the darkness is an other word for emptiness. There was not much of a challenge it was more of a celebration.

Definitely insights to understand myself in a deeper level and this experience we call life.

Darkness is really our true nature. Out of darkness the God created the heavens and the earth.

It doesn’t matter how much of a master you are, everyone has still some short of a fear of unknown.

Our life would become better by confronting the darkness.

This is an amazing place. I don’t know how I found myself here. I can tell this is a very special place.

I am very grateful to be here.”

Vlad

“Everything is inside, I was completely happy to be here in this space. The answer for all of our questions are inside. I am glad I had this journey, I wish everyone can find answers to their questions. Thank you for this time. Thank you for this space.”

Erik

"The fast and the darkness were one of most impactful processes that I have went through ever. It’s kind of hard to believe based on what it felt to be in the process, being tired and feeling just a little bit lost in the darkness at times and questioning “what am I doing here, what’s going on”, then to come out feeling so different in such powerful ways hahah.

Incredible!

I keep noticing examples where that inner fire I regained (which is huge by the way)

is opening up new possibilities for me.

For the last few years I have been very hesitant. Now feels I am back into myself.”

Ayle

"My intention was to connect with my higher self more. I did a 7 day water fast and 3 days in the darkness. The water fast was an incredible journey. It made me realize food is something to appreciate not something that we consume.

This 3 days in darkness I would recommend to everyone. The days in the darkness are not really about being in the darkness, it’s being With the light within and there is so much light within. We become so aware of the light within.

I am seeing my higher self. I was hardly ever in the room, I awakened my DMT. To really see ourselves is an inner journey and to realize and re-connect with our source. We realize we are from light and star beings with light bodies.

Ou my goodness, my intention is as to connect with my higher self and it was completely given."
