​A first darkroom retreat lasts 4 days. In a 4-day retreat you spend 2½ days and 3 nights in the darkroom. If you join a second retreat (min. 1 year later) you can add an extra day in the darkroom. 

Example of a 4-day retreat:

Day 1:

* Arrival 16.00h/4pm and 18.00h/6pm; if wished  a meal is served

* Introduction; becoming familiar with the space; inquiry with time for questions.

* Entering the darkroom and start darkroom retreat between 18.00h/6pm and 20.00h/8pm

Day 2 and 3:

* Full days and nights in the darkroom.

* Meals and guidance/coaching available if wished for.

Day 4:

* Spending last hours in the darkroom. Around 12.00h/ midday period in the darkroom ends.

* Becoming used to the daylight and integration. Coaching and meals available if wished for.

Day 5:

You can also arrive one or more days before your darkroom period starts.

​

The darkroom is a normal room with a bed, a chair, a drawer, cushions and  blankets. There is a second room where your find your requested meals and there is a bathroom with shower and toilet. These spaces are all completely dark. But you will see, it's easy to find your way by using your senses.

There is not any distraction. You bring only your clothes and toiletries. No phone, no internet, no torch (there is a red light torch available in the room in case of emergency, this will not disrupt the darkroom period).

In the retreat you abstain from any substance like tobacco, alcohol etc. Most people experience that the clinging to substances will reduce during  a darkroom retreat.

​

At home before you come on the retreat you receive all information for an appropriate preparation to get the best out of your retreat.

When you arrive there will be an acquaintance and an introduction about the content of your retreat. You will be showed  around, so that you feel save and ready to start your period in the darkroom. There is space to ask questions and attending your wishes.
