Darkness as a path to deep regeneration and self-knowledge

"From the first visit to the darkness, I was fascinated by how this therapy reliably and deeply affects the human psyche and body. I was therefore eager to create a space in my home where I could share this unique experience with others, and my garden with its stream proved to be the ideal place for this therapy. Today, hundreds of people come to us from the Czech Republic and abroad, seeking peace, new perspectives or a path to inner balance. Many return and confirm that the darkness can be a profound tool for change.

In collaboration with scientists, we are also exploring the positive effects of darkness on the body - from regenerating eyesight and improving the sleep cycle to boosting mental resilience and overall vitality. I myself regularly return to the dark to enjoy moments of peace and rest. I have also cared about conservation since childhood, but caring for people through the dark is an even deeper calling for me."

What does being in the dark get me?

Effective and yet so simple. That's why we go into the dark ourselves.

Rest and regeneration of body and mind

In the darkness, the body and mind find a deep peace that helps you relax and regenerate. Without external stimuli, you can grow out accumulated fatigue and gain new energy. Darkness also promotes the natural production of melatonin, which can lead to improved sleep quality, harmonisation of biorhythms and overall hormonal balance. In the dark, you'll also start to notice subtle sounds more, such as your own heartbeat or breathing, which can teach you to focus better and be present in the moment.

A healthy relationship with yourself and your surroundings

Silence and darkness allow you to immerse yourself in your own thoughts, emotions and feelings. Without distractions, you can hear yourself better, which can help you better understand your needs, values and goals. In fact, the absence of visual stimuli encourages a deeper connection with your inner self. Your mind is freed from constantly evaluating your surroundings and focuses more on what you feel and what is truly important to you.

Developing intuition and creativity

Without distracting images, the brain has more room for unlimited creativity. Often new ideas, insights and solutions to problems come to mind that you wouldn't think of in a visually busy environment. Even when your eyes are closed, your mind is able to create vivid internal images, and this ability to visualize often deepens in the dark, aiding in the development of creativity and imagination.

Therapy has had an unexpected effect on me. It turned out that I needed to sort out things from the past and that worked too! Thanks to the people in the right place who looked after me all the time, I was able to focus on myself. Thank you so much! I highly recommend it!

I've considered staying in the dark for several years. I knew I wanted a reliable and experienced guide. Roman had worked with the psychology department, done research, and had 10 years of experience. In the end, my decision for Kozlovice turned out to be the right one. The stay was clearly beneficial and perfect for me. The cottage is just the right size, perfectly furnished and easy to remember. The food was perfectly light and very tasty. Roman was the perfect guide, his guiding had a profound effect on me and several ideas for subsequent work with the dark experiences were generated. I recommend Roman and his stays!

The darkness called me. And I'm glad I chose Kozlovice. I felt tired the whole time until the guide came and brought a nice supportive energy to the whole room. The stay was interesting for me, both in terms of my body and mind's reaction to the darkness, and in terms of interesting conversations with the guide. I am now calmer, more balanced, more stable. I definitely recommend everyone to try it.

The dark therapy was an amazing experience that helped me to fully connect with myself. I will definitely do it again sometime in the future. Thank you for the great service.
