Incredible Darkness retreat
I attended a five-night, six-day darkness retreat organized by New Day Retreat, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. For my first time in complete darkness, I initially felt a bit apprehensive, butDitte, the organizer provided such a safe and nurturing space that I quickly felt at ease. She was attentive, present, and made sure everything was tailored to my specific needs.

Her detailed explanations and unwavering support before, during, and after the retreat made all the difference. It was a transformative journey that allowed me to connect deeply with myself and gain a profound understanding of who we truly are. Emerging from the darkness felt like pure bliss, and the entire experience was genuinely life-changing—one I would recommend to everyone seeking liberation and self-discovery.

The raw diet, which I initially worried about, was beautifully prepared and filled with love. Thanks to Ditte’s guidance and encouragement, everything went smoothly, and it became an integral part of the process.

The retreat’s location was stunning, surrounded by nature and supportive elements that enhanced the experience. I am deeply grateful to Ditte for her open heart and dedication to creating such a powerful space. I would absolutely love to return for another retreat and highly recommend this to anyone ready to explore the depths of darkness and light within themselves.

3 Day Darkness Retreat
I recently had the experience of spending just over three days on a darkness retreat facilitated by Ditte at A New Day Retreats. From the moment Ditte picked me up at the bus station I noticed her meticulous attention to detail and her genuine care for my well-being were evident. The space she has created at her property is designed to support deep introspection. Nestled under a beautiful mountain, I felt as though I could enter the dark and be with my experience with no external fearful stimulation.

In summary, Ditte's space holding created an environment that allowed for deep, meaningful introspection. Her dedication to her practice and her compassionate approach made my time there profoundly impactful. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking a well-supported journey into the darkness.

Thank you Ditte for creating the space, I will return!

Mission & Vision

Join us in a rural setting in the beatutiful mountains of the Alicante. A New Day Retreats is a creation of love. We wanted to focus on the respectful and safe use of teacher plants as well as each person’s own inherent ability to heal. It's a safe and supporting setting that fosters trust and courage so you can feel fully free to face what you need to face.

I was never particularly spiritual, and the deep inherent spirituality that often accompanies this type of reatreat with shamans or gurus isn't really me. I have, however, found a deep appreciation for meditation, breathwork, darkness and a quiet spirituality that involves practicing gratitude and a conscious appreciation of the gift of life.

We welcome any religion/spirituality and encourage diversity.
