A darkness retreat traditionally is an ancient spiritual practice reserved for very advanced meditation practitioners.
Because people seem to be having profound experiences in the dark.
Very similar to a sensory deprivation tank, for the first time since you were born there is nothing but your own ability to just watch and observe your own mind in that darkness.
In the dark you will find that to reduce stress and anxiety is paramount, improve sleep as well.
Sense of time is gone, and only epiphanies and new ideas, new sensations are popping up
Realizing for example how we put so much importance on time, and distractions...
In our modern culture, we believe that we are worthy only if we are productive, but being in the dark, and having no distractions, no possible activities, only thoughts, is really a game changer.
Later the whole lot of negative emotions, and fears are slowly creeping in, and the only possible response to acknowledge them, one by one, and accept them.
