About this episode

Scott Berman discusses the transformative power of darkness retreats and the importance of confronting discomfort for healing.

Scott Berman of Sky Cave Retreats explores the transformative power of darkness retreats, acceptance, and confronting the discomfort we spend most of our lives trying to escape. He shares how complete darkness can reveal patterns around healing and emotional avoidance. Through conversations on forgiveness, spirituality, and emotional presence, Scott challenges the obsession with constantly “fixing” ourselves. This episode is a reminder that healing often begins when we stop trying to escape our pain and allow ourselves to fully feel it.
