SUMMARY:The Power of Dark Retreat - In-Person or Online - Drala Mountain Center\, Colorado
DESCRIPTION:The Power of Dark Retreat\nPresented In-Person or Online –  Drala Mountain Center\, August 17-24th\, 2026\n\nThe ancient practice of dark retreat has found its way back into our light-polluted modern world. This program explores the remarkable restorative benefits of dark practice\, why it is an ideal environment for creativity and healing\, and how dark immersion serves as the ultimate preparation for death. \nWe will explore both Eastern and Western origins of the practice\, covering everything you need to know to safely prepare for the dark and integrate the experience into daily life. We will address the practicalities: what to do in the dark\, how long to stay\, and how to work with difficulties. \nFinally\, you will learn why dark retreat is the ideal venue for exploring the five nocturnal meditations\, including lucid dreaming and dream yoga. This is a rare opportunity to experience the “gray retreat”—weaving in and out of darkness—as a tool for transformation. \n\n\nWhat to Expect\n\n\nDeep exploration of the five nocturnal meditations\, including dream yoga. \n\n\nTechniques for managing anxiety\, fear\, and resistance in the dark. \n\n\nGuidance on “gray retreat” and weaving darkness into daily life. \n\n\nInsights into the physiological and spiritual benefits of sensory deprivation. \n\n\nTools for deep shadow work and balancing the effects of the digital age. \n\n\n\nThis retreat is hosted and administered by Drala Mountain Center. Because of this\, we are not able to offer any Night Club member discount to this event.
