A dark retreat is a truly profound experience of silence and contemplation. To help you focus completely on your inner journey, it is helpful to be well prepared. Many people wonder what they should bring to a dark retreat. Here is a practical list of recommendations.
What you can bring:
✔ Comfortable clothing: Loose-fitting pants, cozy sweaters, and warm socks will ensure your comfort during your stay.
✔ Your own pillow: If you have a favorite pillow that helps you sleep particularly well.
✔ Diary & pen: A diary can be very valuable for recording your inner processes and insights.
✔ Dictation device: If you prefer to speak rather than write, you can bring a dictation device. Please note that lights or displays must be taped over beforehand so that they do not glow in the dark.
✔ Personal meditation items: Some people like to bring their favorite crystals, mala necklaces, or other spiritual objects that help them meditate.
What is already available on site:
✔ Yoga mats for your movement and relaxation exercises
✔ Meditation cushions for a comfortable sitting position
✔ Warm blankets so you can make yourself comfortable
✔ Eye mask: Each guest receives a complimentary eye mask from us so that you can ventilate the room without letting in light.
