HEALING TRAUMA IN THE DARKNESS

40 DAYS DARK RETREAT AT THE
Hermitage
about the
BUDDHA CAVE & TARA ROOM
Built in 2015 entirely from natural river stones, cement and crystals, our large ‘TARA ROOM’ Dark Retreat is submerged into the hillside and is entered through a special underground tunnel. Resting predominantly under the earth at the base of a sacred copal tree, retreaters will experience the embrace of mother earth as they ‘return to the womb’ of darkness and silence.
Our ‘BUDDHA CAVE’ Dark Retreat is the newest addition (2019) to The Hermitage and is built entirely from natural adobe and bamboo. It is positioned at the top of our hill behind a huge Amate Tree (sacred Central American tree, quite rare around the Lake), and is beautifully designed to awaken the Buddha nature in all who retreat inside.
