Dark Retreats Oregon

Dark Retreats Oregon (DRO) Retreat Center is located in the coastal mountains of Tidewater Oregon.DRO was founded in 2003 at the Maitreya Ecovillage in Eugene, Oregon, when two members comandeered and endarkened the guest cob cottage for the Winter season. After taking their turns at deep journey sleeping they facilited it for the rest of the community and its many friends, where it became popular enough to continue for six following Winters, being used by over 60 folks.For the next 10 years, it took on a roving community supported donation model usually initiated each Fall with an offered attic, cellar, garage or empty house from the previous years' circle/network.Then, in 2015 a more primo four room structure with a deep rainforest setting came onstage and for 5 yrs dozens of folks each Winter found their way there for a hibernation journey at Sleeping Bear Lodge.In the Fall of '22 we were guided to Tidewater Falls, the former site of the Beloved Festivals, where we are exceedingly and progressively happy to be.Come, run, see for yourself.
