This is Part 1 of a 2 episode series about the 11 days Micah spent in complete darkness and solitude in May of 2024.

If you've ever wanted to plumb the depths of your soul, understand who and what you really are, or have a curiosity about access altered states of consciousness without drugs, this two episode series is for you.

In this episode, recorded two weeks before I entered the darkness, we discuss my previous experience in dark retreats, the history of this spiritual tradition, my intentions, my process for preparation, where I was at as I readied my mind, body and spirit to enter the void, the relationship between spiritual growth and emotional sensitivity, and much, much more.
