GeT TO KNOW OUR TREATMENTS

Our Dark Retreats: A First Of Its Kind In South Africa

Dark retreats offer a unique and powerful way to heal, rejuvenate, and transform your mind and body.

Our retreats offer an opportunity to escape the distractions of modern life and immerse yourself in complete darkness, allowing you to tap into the healing power of darkness and achieve a deeper level of peace and well-being.

Benefits of a Dark Retreat:

  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Improve sleep
  • Promote feelings of peace and well-being
  • Help to heal physical conditions such as chronic pain, depression, and chronic fatigue
  • Enhance spiritual growth and personal development

Deep rest and relaxation

Spending extended periods of time in complete darkness can help you to deeply relax and rejuvenate both your mind and body.

Increased creativity

The absence of external stimulation can free up the mind to tap into its own imaginative resources, leading to increased creativity.

Improved self-awareness

Spending time in the dark can help you to get in touch with your own thoughts and feelings, leading to greater self-awareness.

What Can You Expect?

The first few hours or days of a dark retreat may be spent adjusting to the darkness. This can include feeling disoriented, experiencing changes in perception, or even feeling a bit anxious. It will get easier over time.

Inner peace and tranquillity: As you spend more time in the darkness, you may begin to experience a sense of inner peace and tranquillity. This can be a result of the darkness helping to reduce stress and anxiety, as well as promoting feelings of calm and well-being.

Changes in perception: As your eyes adjust to the darkness, you may begin to notice changes in your perception. This can include an increased sensitivity to sound, as well as changes in how you experience taste, smell, and touch.

 

Increased self-awareness: Spending extended periods of time in complete darkness can also help to increase self-awareness. This can include gaining a greater understanding of your thoughts and emotions, as well as identifying patterns or behaviours that might be holding you back.

Spiritual growth and personal development: Some people attend dark retreats for spiritual growth and personal development. The darkness can create a quiet, contemplative environment that allows for deeper introspection and self-reflection.

Improved physical and mental health: Many people also report improvements in physical and mental health after a dark retreat. This can include improved sleep, reduced stress and anxiety, and relief from chronic pain.
