staying over a week in a complete darkness was THE best vacation i ever had. can't recommend dark room retreats enough!
did mine in France (see the link)
not affiliated with the centre in any way, found it after hours of research and was extremely happy with the outcome
I’ve heard about these darkroom retreats. Must be a very unique experience. Did you do it for a specific reason?
Cool but doesn’t seem too healthy
in some traditions it is considered to be the fountain of youth actually.
you give yourself a proper rest, calming down the nervous system. less stress, less anxiety means healthier life.
from my own experience i can tell that it is an incredible reset. the level of relaxation during this and the level of enthusiasm after is on another level.
I believe you. Heard about it a few years back and I can see how it can help.
How’s being back in society? Maybe too loud and noisy?
I haven't experienced it...but I can imagine, as we live in very noisy and artificial light life, one week of being consciously in darkness can really reset our system.
Yeah, basically being in the womb all over again 😂. Definitely benefits to it. Have heard that ppl hallucinate in the dark after a while.
Have wanted to do a darkness retreat for a while. Was in desparate need of one in fall of 22. Now my mind is a lot more quite. Thankfully.
that sounds like a terrible idea
