I had a fascinating experience in the dark retreat. It was one of those experiences that I’ll never forget and would count as life changing. The space is very basic, I had some interesting moments with going to the toilet in the dark, and it’s quite hot in there, but that was all part of the experience of getting to know more of myself. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to know themselves on a more intimate level.

I did a 8-day dark retreat here. First of all Santosh was very kind and supportive already before booking, always willing to reply to my questions. We took some time to speak the day before entering the dome and I also very much appreciated his availability to answer my questions and support me after the retreat! The retreat itself was a great and powerful experience for me, which I would recommend to anyone with some prior experience with meditation who wants to go deeper into the practice. The isolation and the darkness really push you to deeper levels that I think would be hardly achievable outside in other conditions. I stayed in the little dome and I found it to be basic but comfortable, the space was limited but well organised so I was happy with it. Lastly I would like to mention the raw food that Santosh prepared daily, it was so tasty and felt it helped my practice. Thank you Brother Santosh ???? I wish you all the best and I am sure we will meet again at some point in the future, I might well come back to the island and to your dome!

Santosh is an amazing host and made me feel like home even before arriving on the island. Down-to-earth and very experienced in sitting and holding long retreats, he knows how to hold space for people in an uncomplicated and personal manner. My 3-day darkdome retreat was really nice and I got alot of rest after a busy month, and a soft introduction to the dark-room practice. "A walk in the park" as Santosh calls it, I recommend the 3-day retreat to anyone wanting to look into the experience of dark-room solo retreating. The food served was delicous and well balanced, the room was easy to navigate around, and the location quiet and convenient. The day before and after I got to spend some nice hours chatting and experiencing the relaxing vibe of Santoshs property and the island. 5 stars for me and hope to go for a longer retreat in the future. Thanks Santosh Ji!

I did a retreat in 2011 and in end of 2018 another one.. Each 3 days and had an amazing experience in the dark.. The guys who have build this are genius and held great space for me while being gone from the outer world for a couple of days... For anyone who is interested and ready to experience a profound look into your self, this might be the perfect place to go and simple be! Much gratitude ?

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I did a 3 days darkness retreat here and it was amazing! There are two domes, a bigger and a smaller ones, and both are very comfortable for such a retreat. The domes are located in the thai jungle and you can hear the nature, yet they are sealed so the nature stays outside. This is also one of the cheapest places in the world to do such a retreat on your own.

I have sped 21 days here- in darkness, this summer and even after few months it feels so empty, fresh and calm. It is amazing place to observe your mind and stay just like you are, to go deeper to your essential being. Very comfortable physically: basic equipment, fresh raw food, surrounded by nature calm place- that is all so perfect and you just skip thinking about it... Absolutelly recommend if you look for deeper meditation or you can’t find Youself ??

So greatful that Santosh has created this introspective and expansive space to come and be with ones self . A beautiful contribution to this planet I am happy to have made connection to this sanctuary ??????
