Today you are going to hear from Scott Berman founder of Sky Cave Retreats.  The first darkness retreat center in the US.  Throughout the last decade, he has spent over two years in self-guided solo retreats in remote wilderness. He did his first darkness retreat in 2012 and has spent over 70 days in multiple solo darkness retreats, including a couple with his wife Jill. 

Over the last 4 years, he has supported over 500 people in their dark retreats and has been pioneering the darkness retreat movement at his center in Southern Oregon. 

In this episode, Scott covers:

✅ The History of Darkness Retreats and it’s evolution to what it is today.

✅ How going into the dark can look vastly different from one person to another

✅ What he suggests you do to prepare for and integrate after a dark retreat

✅ Getting to know your coping mechanisms and unique fear responses more intimately so you can better navigate them in your day-to-day life.

✅ The importance of having support during your time in the dark.

✅ How much time do you need to be in the dark for best results?

✅ And much much more!
