Yet we live in a distracted age that privileges light and marginalises darkness. Beloved author Andrew Holecek shows that light doesn't always reveal—it often conceals. With this groundbreaking book, he introduces readers to the ancient practice of dark retreats, a previously secret practice that invites spiritual seekers to remain in complete darkness without any external distractions. Dark retreats invite profound self-reflection—dropping practitioners into a deeper understanding of themselves, uncovering new levels of mindfulness and meditation, and illuminating new dimensions of being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDarkness is a truthteller,\u003c\/em\u003e writes Holecek. \u003cem\u003eDarkness is exacting.
