#409 - Entering the Dark — Episode 6: The Dark Retreat Preparation Guide

Most people think this is about mental toughness. It's not.

This episode covers what I packed, what I wish I hadn't, what saved me, and what almost broke me. But more importantly — it’s about how surrender is the only real survival skill worth having.

I share the little rituals and practices that got me through the most intense parts of the experience, and what I'll be doing differently this time around. If you're planning your own deep dive, or just curious how to prepare for one, this episode is your guide. Practical, honest, and full of unexpected lessons from the dark.

Cheers,
