Experience a deep journey through Taoist meditations in darkness

Darkness meditation is an ancient Taoist practice for deep healing, inner clarity, and expanded consciousness.
In complete darkness, the mind and soul begin to travel freely through the realms of spiritual and psychic experience. Sensory deprivation profoundly shifts the body and brain, allowing you to reconnect with your true self and the divine within. In this primordial state, you may begin to perceive the universal flow of energy, gain insight into the past and future, and uncover the deeper meaning of life.

On the first day of the workshops, you’ll receive step-by-step instructions and be gently guided through meditations that quiet the mind, restore the nervous system, and support the body’s natural rejuvenation.

During the years of pandemic, we figured out how to hold the Darkness workshops online and how our students can recreate this ancient technology in their own homes.

Master Chia invite you to join the incredible Darkness Meditation Online Workshops experience from the comfort of your home.

Join this workshop for 2, 4, 5, or 9 days — and reset yourself through the ancient Taoist wisdom of the darkness.

About Mantak Chia

The classes with Mantak Chia are unique, thanks to his ability to transmit energy to his students, online or in the classroom. Many students practicing with Master Chia not only witness the wisdom of primordial violet light during his Energy Transmissions but also begin their initial healing processes.

We recommend eating light, easily digestible food to support your body’s natural energy and inner stillness during the retreat.

Where can I order temporary blackout blinds for windows?
Optional: Order temporarily blackout blinds for windows. They stick on by static electricity without any adhesives, so they don’t leave any marks. Just pull, tear, stick and enjoy the Darkroom environment in your own home: You can order Magic Blackout Blind here or here
Where can I buy a sleeping mask with contoured padding?
You can find it online in many stores, for example here or here with silk. Dimming the room with thick curtains while wearing such a mask is enough (if not perfect) to experience the darkroom effect.
I am a total beginner in Tao practices. Can I participate in this Darkroom Retreat?
Yes, in this case, we recommend you join the Retreat for Fundamental meditations only. Mantak Chia will explain the theory on August 22, please join this class LIVE.

You can also join the full Retreat and watch the bonus self-paced courses before 22 August.
How many days should I stay in the darkness?
For people who have both never done a dark retreat before and have also never spent much time in solitude, we recommend starting with 3-5 days of darkness (1-5 September of the workshop).
For those who have never done a dark retreat before but have either spent extensive time alone, have a solid daily meditation practice, or feel deeply at peace & comfortable within themselves, we recommend taking all 9 days of the workshop.
I am a total beginner in Tao practices. Can I take only In-Depth meditations workshop (28-31 August)?
We recomend to start from Fundamental meditations workshop (22-26 Aug). For participation in the workshop of 28-31 Aug only you need to have a prior knowledge of Fusion 1 workshop with Master Mantak Chia or UHT Instructors.
Will I get a certificate of attendance?
Yes, all participants of Tao Garden workshops with Mantak Chia get a certificate at the end of the Workshop. This certificate doesn’t give the permission of teaching. Learn more about certification steps to become a certified instructor: Click here
Will I be able to see the violet light?
It depends on how active your pineal gland is already but mostly we see the Violet Light around 3rd-4th days.
Is there a special way to come out of the darkroom at the end of the retreat?
After several days in complete darkness, the iris becomes very sensitive to light, so you need to go out during the night and spend some time in artificial light before you go back into the daylight.
What languages will be workshops translated into?
Master Mantak Chia will teach in English. There will be no translations.
How can I ask my questions during the class?
You'll be able to ask questions by text using Q&A in Zoom. Senior Instructors will reply back and during Q&A session Master Chia will reply to your questions.
