‘Dark Retreats’ are a thing now
https://www.wired.com/story/days-long-dark-retreats-are-the-newest-spiritual-conquest-for-tech-elites/

wild article for several reasons, including but not limited to:

1. opens with "crypto founder Charles Hoskinson fled in terror"

2. second paragraph then goes "created Cardano, the 10th biggest crypto coin with a market cap of $24B" smh

3. details darkness retreats where individuals (including Aaron Rodgers, Tiffany Hadish, and Dwight Howard) spend a few days alone in darkness and silence without any electronics (aka "dopamine fast.") some crazy people have spent 40 days (wtf!!!)

4. apparently in the first day or two, participants overproduce melatonin so have deep, deep rest like taking sedatives. also takes a full day to stop absentmindedly trying to check their phone.

5. there are 5 darkness retreat centers in the US and 100 worldwide. the "Sky Cave" where Hoskinson went has a two year (yes, two full year) waiting list. 

6. oh yeah, some people start hallucinating by day three and equate it to what happens on a DMT trip.
