569. Finding Everything in Nothing: Darkness Retreat Recap

569. Finding Everything in Nothing: Darkness Retreat Recap

Author: Krista Williams & Lindsey Simcik December 15, 2022 Duration: 56:54
As you know by now, Krista is someone who loves to push the limits of what’s possible, to expand her own lived experience and learn new ways of seeing or thinking about things. She travels this path (mostly) unafraid and open-minded. But the prospect of a darkness retreat, she admits, was a scary one. In this special solo episode, Krista recaps her three-day, four-night darkness retreat at Sky Cave Retreats in Oregon and recounts the deep spiritual and emotional lessons she’s taken away from it.  There was rage, sadness, and grief; great joy and hours of bodywork; daily peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – and of course, complete and utter darkness. You don’t want to miss this. We also talk about: What is a darkness retreat?
