I flew from the Netherlands to stay for 5 nights of darkness with Jaijai. What a blessing it had been.
The (smaller) room (I was in) was perfectly well designed, the food was always enough, delicious and nourishing, the intercom was easy to use (even though I did not need to use it), the mattress and pillows were very good and the room is quite cool in comparison to the outside temperature.
In general, Jaijai is a wonderful host. She can answer all your questions, but also leaves space for you to get settled in. She is caring, loving and just a fantastic space holder. I felt welcome from the very first moment.
I had one day to settle in and two days to 'settle out'. She always asked me what I wanted to eat and I was part of the family as soon as I entered their home. I want to thank Jaijai and family for everything!
If you feel like the darkness is calling. Definitely go to Darkness Retreat Africa to stay...

During my time in the darkness, I found that my creativity was heightened in ways I hadn't anticipated. With all distractions removed, I was able to tap into deeper levels of inspiration and clarity. This retreat also provided me with the space to resolve internal frictions that I had been grappling with for some time.
The environment at Darkness Retreat Africa was peaceful and supportive, allowing for profound introspection and personal growth. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking to enhance their creativity, address inner conflicts, or simply take a step back from the hustle of everyday life. It's a journey...

Jacqui, and her dark room retreat, answers that very quickly, with a myriad of unimaginable, carefully thought out, essential details attended to in her spotless and comfie space.
The pragmatics, as well as her warm-hearted, professional holding of one, from beginning to end, convey the depth of her wisdom experience in these processes. They also allow one to complete let go and feel safe, relaxing into a profound depth of connection with self.
You are very soon sitting with every level and layer of yourself; nowhere to hide and nothing to distract, yet every true need attended to. A wondrous and fruitful two days ~ and next time, it'll...
