Roman Barták
Founder and Director of the Centre, guardian
A man with many roles and passions. Originally a scientist working in biogeography and landscape ecology, a practical conservationist and a university and alternative teacher. I have been attending dark therapy regularly since 2012 and providing therapy since 2013. I am fascinated by the simplicity of the therapy and its high effectiveness.
Mgr. Kateřina Čigášová
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.

Mgr. Lucie Karbulová
Psychologist, crisis interventionist
I'm a psychologist by profession, I'm trained in crisis intervention. I incorporate spirituality and life philosophy into my work. Experience has shown me that the best mindfulness is the treatment of others. In my practice I work intuitively and based on my own knowledge of life. The darkness finally called me in May 2023, coincidentally during a strong full moon, and it got me completely. In the darkness, ideas were born about how to bring this sensational thing to the people. To provide a space for sharing fears and insecurities before and experiences and integration after. I offer both online and in-person consultations, which I prefer. We also offer consultations in the dark, i.e. in simulated conditions during the stay.
