Discover the profound benefits of a dark retreat with YanaSamyay

YanaSamyay offers a unique experience: darkness retreats allied with silence, to return to the essential and reconnect with one’s true nature. Far from noise, sensory overload, and daily obligations, darkness becomes a space for healing, inner calm, and profound transformation.


The absence of external light allows unprecedented introspection. Darkness brings forth pure consciousness, beyond superficial fears and anxieties.


The dark retreat is perceived as a privileged space for intense spiritual transformation, where the mind can transcend usual limits and access expanded states of consciousness. During this retreat, you spend 4 days in total darkness, without any artificial or natural light source.


In this unique environment, deprived of visual stimulation, your brain enters a deep state of rest and regeneration. Your other senses awaken, your inner perception sharpens, and you access levels of consciousness rarely explored in daily life. This is a rare opportunity to completely disconnect from the outside world and dive into the depths of your inner being.

The profound Benefits of the dark retreat - The YanaSamyay experience

Dark retreat and instant nervous system soothing

In a secure and supported setting, darkness offers unparalleled rest. When eyes receive no light stimuli, the brain naturally slows. Melatonin production increases, the nervous system relaxes, and one enters deep presence. At YanaSamyay during our dark retreat, this relaxation intensifies with silence, enabling complete emotional reset.

Dark Retreat and Deep Self-Reconnection

In the dark, there are no roles left to play or images to maintain. We return to zero point, to what we truly are. This simplicity opens the door to authentic connection with body, heart, and soul. The YanaSamyay dark and silence retreat is designed to offer this safe space where each person can meet their own essence, without pressure and at their own pace.

An Inner Clarity That Emerges Naturally

Contrary to common belief, darkness doesn’t create confusion: it reveals. Without visual distractions, thoughts settle, and one accesses newfound lucidity. Many participants report, after hours or days in the dark, a finer understanding of their emotions, life choices, and direction.


At YanaSamyay, each retreat invites listening to one’s inner truth.

The dark retreat: A subtle yet powerful spiritual journey and complete regeneration

The absence of light amplifies all other senses. Listening becomes finer, presence denser, and energetic perception more subtle. For those on a spiritual or introspective path, the dark retreat acts as a consciousness accelerator. Without ayahuasca or plants, solely through silence and darkness, one achieves natural and profound inner expansion.
Returning to darkness offers body, mind, and soul a rare space for rest and renewal.
YanaSamyay retreats release mental overload, soothe emotions, restore vital energy, clarify intentions, and leave you aligned, centered, and lighter.

Each stay is a gentle rebirth, an invitation to re-enter the world with greater clarity, stability, and purpose.
