What is Darkrooom-retried?

In September 2003, I saw "by chance" in the educational program of BR a a lecture in the series THINKING TIME TU Munich on extreme sports and experience looking in nature. One of the speakers was the ethnologist and Dipl. Psychologist Holger Kalweit. The topic of his presentation was, inter alia, the darkroom retread that he met on his trips to the natural peoples of the world and he lived through in Tibet. As anthropologist, he explored the ancient cultures and the cosmology of primitive peoples. With his knowledge and experience as a psychotherapist, he has introduced the Darkroom retread several years ago in Germany.

Since I myself have lived for several years in India and Africa and was open to initiation rites,

I was deeply impressed by the described experience and have decided this dark therapy experience.
I obtained his telephone number, and called him. Three days later, I was with him.
 

The Dark therapy is therefore an initiation ritual (initiation ritual), a method of self-awareness in darkness. It is exercised with variations in almost all traditional cultures, especially in Japan, India, Tibet and some Indian tribes. The renunciation, solitude and seclusion are used for internal reflection and introspection.

The Dark therapy uses the darkness, silence and isolation to stop the flow of thoughts and feelings in order to reach the state of inner emptiness. One learns the self-awareness as a nuisance, or even as a disease.
The darkness in which one remains several days alone is, as a means of returning to the
 unconscious states used. The result is a state without thinking, without feeling and without own will. Man is reduced to the essentials. From this void now appear inner images,
