Scott Berman on darkness as healer, shedding masks, and the anatomy of a dark retreat


Listen Later

Can the darkness heal you? Are you willing to find out?

Scott Berman is the founder of Sky Cave Retreats, a dark retreat sanctuary in Southern Oregon that puts guests in complete and total darkness for a set period of time. In this safe space, with somatic support and all needs met, a guest may relax into the rhythms of the dark, soften, and simply exist.

In this conversation with Scott we discuss:

  • How his early experiences with wilderness solitude primed him for dark retreats
  • His first dark retreat – mistakes & learnings
  • How Sky Cave Retreat came to be
  • Why each dark retreat is unique
  • The critical ways they have evolved the dark retreat experience
  • Who can – and should – do a dark retreat
  • What one can expect in a dark retreat

...and more!
