What can be illuminated when you explore in the darkness of your subconscious mind, through lucid dreaming or darkness retreats? We get to the heart of mystery in this mind-bending episode with Andrew Holecek, one of the most brilliant and poetic explorers of consciousness I know.

We go deep into the transformative crucible of dark retreat—something I experienced firsthand. What happens when you face your own mind in complete darkness? No distractions, nowhere to hide. Magic happens, that’s what.

Andrew weaves together decades of wisdom from the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, offers cutting edge dream research on lucid dreaming, and shares his own profound encounters in the dark. The stories he tells will leave you questioning the very fabric of reality.

This episode has it all—quantum physics paradoxes, Sufi teaching tales, and practical tools for your own path of discovery. Andrew has a way of making the most esoteric ideas feel like a chat with a wise friend. That's a rare gift.

Andrew is also the host of the "Edge of Mind" podcast, where he interviews luminaries in science, philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. His work has been featured in major outlets, including Wired magazine, and he is recognized for his innovative approach to integrating Eastern and Western perspectives on consciousness and transformation.
