About this episode
Drop in for this mind-expanding conversation between Krista and Scott Berman, of Sky Cave Retreats in Oregon, to learn all about the hidden power of the dark, its ancestral lineage in healing and spirituality, and the life-changing practice of darkness retreats – an experience Krista takes in for herself soon after this interview and one which will be discussed in the next episode of Almost 30, later this week. Scott is well versed in this mystic field, having spent extensive time in solitude, silence, and of course – in the dark as a means to soften into his own existence and understand the world’s collective song. He shares a few eye-opening stories from recent participants, explains some of the neurology behind darkness and how it affects our brain, and sets our expectations for darkness retreats – by removing them completely. We also talk about: Why would someone do a Darkness retreat? Heart intention vs. ego intentions Delving into darkness retreats How men and women experience darkness Lineage of darkness retreats Moving through grief Preparation and integration The neuroscience behind darkness Exploring the depths of softness Satisfaction, healing, and spirituality Letting go of expectation Resources: Instagram: @scottfreeiam Sky Cave Retreats: @skycaveretreats Website: skycaveretreats.com Podcast: Conversations with Darkness Join our community: almost30.com/membership facebook.com/Almost30podcast/groups Podcast disclaimer can be found by visiting: almost30.com/disclaimer .
