Trance Dance

Visionary Darkness

5 Day Retreat

Once you allow yourself to really slow down, and drop into being, in stead of doing or trying, you open yourself up for a new vision… a new perspective on you, and your life… not forged by the pain of the past, but born from your authentic essence, and purpose. 

Visionary Darkness Retreat

Winter is the perfect time to ENVISION a NEW YEAR! 

In this special retreat you spend most of the time in complete darkness. Even a short period of darkness, as during a meditation, or in a (blindfolded) trance dance, can be very beneficial. 

When you spend more time in darkness, the chatter in your head will settle down. The mind clears up, and room for profound contact with your essence, and the source of life and creativity, is created.

Would you like to relax deeply...
Into the womb of darkness
And go on a journey of discovery...
To be born again in light?

In Darkness we become Visionaries

Our fixation on the light often blinds us. Like a moth to a flame, we can’t help ourselves. We forget that everything is born from the cradle of darkness. As the great creation myths of the world tell us, the true place of impregnation and fertilization is darkness. Although we manifest ourselves, and our ego’s, in the light, we heal and transform in darkness. Ceremonial darkness has always played an important role in meditation and shamanic work. When the mind can safely release the security of the visible world, invisible landscapes of creative inspiration become visible.

5 Days of Darkness

We will work with:

Breathwork
Meditation & Trance
Sound & Music
Movement & Dance

We provide a secure space, in which you can slowly surrender to your inner journey. Moments of silence, and time and space for yourself, are interspersed with group activities. We dance, meditate, make musical journeys, stimulate the senses, and are creative in different ways. You will discover new ways of perception, and make deep contact with your life force, your essence, to be reborn out of the womb of darkness, into the light at the end of the retreat.

A magical workshop, a unique experience!
