Psychologist, coach and crisis inter.

I am a psychologist, coach and crisis interventionist. I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, and am interested in mindfulness, meditation and various other forms of self-discovery, including being in the dark. I myself took my first stay in the dark in 2015, moreover, as the first proband in the research on the effect of dark therapy on the human body in cooperation with the University of Ostrava. The darkness summoned me again, this time as a guide for other people, whether in the form of supportive psychological sessions or guardianship throughout the stay.

Founder, owner and guardian of the Centre

"I am a man of many roles and passions." Originally a scientist specializing in biogeography and landscape ecology, he is also a practicing conservationist and educator - both in traditional academic settings and in alternative forms of teaching. I have been undergoing darkroom therapy regularly since 2012 and offering it myself since 2013. I am fascinated by its simplicity, depth and extraordinary effectiveness. Darkness, in my opinion, creates ideal conditions for stopping, settling down and listening to one's own inner self - something that is noticeably lacking in most of us nowadays.
