At Dark Havens, we envision a world where darkness is recognized as a sacred space for renewal—one that fosters individual healing while supporting the collective evolution of consciousness. 


Our immersive darkness retreats provide a safe sanctuary for profound self-discovery and spiritual awakening, allowing your inner light to emerge from the nurturing embrace of darkness.

In order to know the light, we must first experience the darkness

I was fortunate enough to have Keen as my facilitator when going into my first darkness retreat. He made a challenging (actually, let’s face it, it was scary to me!) situation feel so safe and so inviting. 


He showed me the powerful portal that darkness can be. From the ceremonial entrance into darkness and the reminder that the dark retreat is a womb space that can facilitate rebirth, to the daily check-ins that were soft and supportive, I felt truly cared for throughout my experience. He asked me powerful questions that I reflected on during my time alone. 


My journey was profound; it changed me on every level. I’m not sure if I would have gotten as much out of it if I hadn't had Keen’s gentle, powerful, compassionate guidance.

While the darkness itself played a crucial role in my healing, it was Keen's exceptional talent for space holding that truly elevated the experience of my first darkness retreat. His presence was a daily source of calm and security, allowing me to delve into challenging emotions without fear.


Keen's ability to hold space was particularly impactful during the final moments of my stay when I experienced an intense emotional release.  He provided a non-intrusive presence, allowing me to navigate my emotions without feeling pressured to explain or analyze them.  This created a space for authentic self-discovery, where I could explore hidden parts of myself without fear of judgment.


The impact of Keen's space holding extended beyond the dark retreat itself.  Our conversations about integrating the experience into my daily life were invaluable.  His ability to actively listen and offer insightful perspectives helped me make sense of the profound changes I was experiencing.


If you're considering dark therapy, I wholeheartedly recommend seeking someone with Keen's exceptional space holding ability.  His presence will undoubtedly be a powerful force in your journey towards healing and growth.

Like a lighthouse guiding ships to safety, Keen's wisdom illuminated a path inward. His radiant presence ignited a courage to face everything that arose in mind with steadfast resilience. He was instrumental in compassionately facilitating the 5 day 6 night dark retreat, and his words of wisdom continue with me to this day. I am forever grateful.
