“رحلة البحث عن البصيرة”

— ladies only experience where you will be joining me to a life changing experience in your own darkness to awaken your intuition.

Spots for this unique retreat are limited.

Ready to discover the light within your darkness?

What is darkness retreat and where is it?

For 5 days I will be taking you with me through a transformative journey where eyes will be completely closed for 4 straight days— disconnecting from busy life and reconnecting with our inner voice and intuition.

Followed by a day of integration that will be lead by me, Mthayel, taking you a step deeper into yourself.
This will be held at the serene Kioo Retreat Center in Kirklareli (2.5-3.5 hours by bus from Istanbul International Airport), Turkey.

This process will strengthen our intuitions and help us realize the incredible power of surrender.

On the first day of the retreat, you will put on eye masks and experience the retreat without removing them until the end.
During this process, talking will be kept to a minimum, and mobile phones will not be used.
This retreat is not the same as the Dark Room retreat. Throughout the entire process, everything will be experienced with eyes shut, including meal times.

When we turn our eyes inward, we will realize how much of what we “see” in the world is completed by our mind’s deceptive perception.
Our mind’s natural working principle is to perceive by completing elements of the external world.
The mind tend to fill in the gaps of what it perceives and creates an experience. This experience is often far from reality. Through the practices we will be doing during this process, we will realize the “realities” that we create.

On this retreat, all the practices are planned to give attention on the heart’s eye.

We will experience the meals we eat, the paths we walk, the practices we do and every other experience with our eyes completely covered by eye masks.
Everyone will have their own single room designed to prevent unintentional self-harm.
We will experience the process safely in the dining hall and the practice areas under the supervision of the guiding instructors.
We will complete this enchanting journey by opening our eyes at sunrise on the 4th day.
