Darkness retreat: several days in total darkness for a deep reset
Running darkness retreats โ the client spends several days in total darkness without stimuli for a deep mental reset, with expert guidance and screening.
You run darkness retreats โ a darkened space where the client spends several days without light, phone and external stimuli, with food delivered through a lightproof passage, for the purpose of a deep mental reset and introspection. Main income is multi-day stays, gift vouchers and preparatory and integration consultations. The barrier to entry is a safe darkened space, expert guidance, careful client screening and a crisis protocol for psychological safety.
People are so overloaded with stimuli that they long for the opposite โ total silence, darkness and disconnection from the world. A darkness retreat offers a radical reset that an ordinary holiday or wellness cannot give: several days without light, screens and external impressions, just a person and their mind. This desire for a deep stop makes the dark retreat a growing, if niche, segment.
