Can the darkness heal you? Are you willing to find out?

Scott Berman is the founder of Sky Cave Retreats, a dark retreat sanctuary in Southern Oregon that puts guests in complete and total darkness for a set period of time. In this safe space, with somatic support and all needs met, a guest may relax into the rhythms of the dark, soften, and simply exist.

In this conversation with Scott we discuss:

How his early experiences with wilderness solitude primed him for dark retreats
His first dark retreat – mistakes & learnings
How Sky Cave Retreat came to be
Why each dark retreat is unique
The critical ways they have evolved the dark retreat experience
Who can – and should – do a dark retreat
What one can expect in a dark retreat

...and more!
