Dark Retreat Information
Dark retreats have been practiced for centuries from Tibetan monks and lamas to ancient Egyptian mystics. In the absence of external stimuli, perception deepens. With complete darkness, you are offered the rare opportunity to meet yourself, free from the noise of expectations, pressures, and opinions.
Participants stay in a completely blacked-out room, equipped with a bed, ensuite bathroom, a low table for meals, and a carpeted area for yoga, prayer, and meditation. The only sounds you might hear are the occasional hum of nature or the gentle arrival of your meals.
You may leave your room at any time. We are on-site around the clock, available to offer support and guidance whenever you request it.
First-time participants usually choose to spend four to five days in darkness, with one day before to prepare and one day afterwards to gently integrate the experience.
When your time in darkness ends, we will gently lead you into the garden before dawn. Together, we greet the sunrise, welcoming you back into the light.
Thanks to Lanzarote’s low light pollution, the night sky here is dazzling, often revealing the Milky Way in breathtaking clarity.
No two experiences are the same, but those who emerge from a dark retreat consistently report deep breakthroughs, especially in areas of life where they’ve felt stuck or searching.
