Please note that retreating in the dark is an advanced practice that is not to be approached lightly. It is important to enter the retreat in a moment of stable body-mind and with an established mindfulness practice. We recommend to start with a few days, but ultimately it is up to you for how long you would like to retreat.

Booking & Cancellation:

A non-refundable advance payment in full is required at the time of booking as canceled retreat periods are notoriously hard to re-book due to intricacy of scheduling. In case of changes of dates we do offer a reduced rate of 50% until two months before the starting date of your original retreat.

If you can provide a replacement person for your canceled retreat, we are happy to accommodate such changes without charge.
