Description
A dark retreat initiates people into a timeless unchanging reality. Held in the infinite eternal arms of darkness, people are transformed as they rest more deeply than they ever have before. Carried beyond ~ all that remains is a profound intimacy that is deeply woven with the tenderness of a soft sweet beating heart that feels all of life.Here is a collection of insights, revelations, and stories by dark retreatants detailing their profound awakenings. Along with other conversations that Scott Berman of Sky Cave Retreats,, who hosts the dark retreats in Southern Oregon, has had with other meditation practitioners and dark retreat hosts from around the world.
