“In the embrace of darkness, we can find the light of our true nature.”
– John David
in a darkness retreat"
Welcome to the darkness retreat of the Open Sky House community. We look forward to guiding you into an extraordinary experience where you will have the opportunity to discover yourself in a whole new way. Our doors are open to all who feel the inner call to go into the darkness to find the light within.
During this journey you may experience some initial challenges, but as the outer sensory veil fades, your mind will become clearer and you will come closer and closer to your true self
Darkness has had its place in different cultures for thousands of years and allows you to connect more deeply with your inner being. Beyond the distractions of everyday life, in an intimate space with yourself, you can explore your thoughts and feelings, gain deep insights, explore the innermost layers of the self and experience a deep nourishing stillness.
“You can call it stillness, emptiness, the self or even God,
where we arrive when we are simply still.
In this place, overwhelming love flows
like a spring from the mountains. “
– John David
In solitude, it is possible to open up to everything that wants to show itself within. Free from external distractions and visual stimuli, it takes you deep within and gives you the opportunity to reconnect with your essence. Meditation and self-enquiry happen very easily in this quiet space.
“An intense, exciting experience. My whole system slowed down. After 4 days, everything was crystal clear and razor-sharp – as if the veils in front of my eyes had disappeared and a deep relaxation spread more and more.”
“The days in the retreat cellar confronted me with deeply hidden fears and emotions that were intensified by being alone. It was a challenging experience to face these inner conflicts, but in the end it led to a deeper understanding. After some time, I was able to accept everything that was there in love. That felt very healing.”
“In the beginning, it seemed as if my mind was much more active. The daily conversations with the guide helped me to accept my thoughts and emotions. After a while, I was able to simply dive through and fall into a deep space of stillness and peace. Ultimately, this experience led to a deep connection with my inner essence.”
Welcome to our serene retreat cellar, a sanctuary of peace.
This tranquil space, much like the retreats of monks and nuns, invites you to reflect and meditate deeply.
Here, you can explore your inner world and find true stillness.
Our retreat cellar is equipped with all you need for comfort and contemplation: a cozy bed, a comfortable chair, a supportive back-jack, a meditation cushion, a yoga mat, a dedicated meditation area, a table, and a private toilet.
Discover the joy of simplicity and reconnect with your true self in this peaceful haven.
What makes our retreat cellar unique is its location within the vibrant energy of a modern ashram, creating a naturally transformative space. This cozy retreat offers a profound chance for you to delve into your inner self, achieve peace, and strengthen your bond with the world.
