About Mantak Chia

The classes with Mantak Chia are unique, thanks to his ability to transmit energy to his students, online or in the classroom. Many students practicing with Master Chia not only witness the wisdom of primordial violet light during his Energy Transmissions but also begin their initial healing processes.

Unlock the secrets of higher consciousness, health, and healing through the transformative power of Darkroom meditation

Welcome to the first beginner-friendly Darkroom practices Retreat with Grandmaster Mantak Chia! Meditating in a darkroom is an Ancient Tao practice for health, healing and higher consciousness. During this Retreat, you can have a darkroom experience in your home and follow Taoist Pi Gu diet (optional).

In the darkness, your mind and soul begin to wander freely in the vast realms of psychic and spiritual experience. Complete darkness profoundly changes the sensory sensibilities of the body/brain. When you enter this primordial state or force you are reunited with the true self and divinity within. You literally ‘conduct’ the universal energy. You may see into the past and future, understand the true meaning of existence, and begin to understand the order of things.

You will get step-by-step explanations on the first day of the Retreat and be guided through meditations to quieten your mind and give your body an incredible rest, supporting its natural rejuvenation. 

Join this Retreat for 4,5 or 9 days and reset yourself with Taoist secrets of Darkroom.

This Retreat is for you if you are:

Master Chia invite you to join the incredible Darkroom Retreat experience from the comfort of your home

During the years of pandemic, we figured out how to hold the Darkroom workshops online and how our students can recreate this ancient technology and Pi Gu fasting in their own homes. This online experience proved to be a total success.

With your purchase of the full Darkroom Retreat (30 August – 7 September) you get access to Taoist Fundamentals (Inner Alchemy Intensive, 10 hours) and Fusion of 5 Elements workshops (10 hours). For a better experience please watch these courses before 30 August.

Where can I order temporary blackout blinds for windows?
Optional: Order temporarily blackout blinds for windows. They stick on by static electricity without any adhesives, so they don’t leave any marks. Just pull, tear, stick and enjoy the Darkroom environment in your own home: You can order Magic Blackout Blind here or here
Where can I buy a sleeping mask with contoured padding?
You can find it online in many stores, for example here or here with silk. Dimming the room with thick curtains while wearing such a mask is enough (if not perfect) to experience the darkroom effect.
I am a total beginner in Tao practices. Can I participate in this Darkroom Retreat?
Yes, in this case, we recommend you join the Retreat for Fundamental meditations only (30 August - 3 September). Mantak Chia will explain the theory on August 30, please join this class LIVE.

You can also join the full Retreat (30 August-7 September) and watch the bonus self-paced courses before 30 August.
How many days should I stay in the darkness?
For people who have both never done a dark retreat before and have also never spent much time in solitude, we recommend starting with 3-5 days of darkness (1-5 September of the workshop).
For those who have never done a dark retreat before but have either spent extensive time alone, have a solid daily meditation practice, or feel deeply at peace & comfortable within themselves, we recommend taking all 9 days of the workshop.
I am a total beginner in Tao practices. Can I take only In-Depth meditations workshop (6-9 September)?
We recomend to start from Fundamental meditations workshop (Sep 1-5). For participation in the workshop of 6-9 September only you need to have a prior knowledge of Fusion 1 workshop with Master Mantak Chia or UHT Instructors.
Will I get a certificate of attendance?
Yes, all participants of Tao Garden workshops with Mantak Chia get a certificate at the end of the Workshop. This certificate doesn’t give the permission of teaching. Learn more about certification steps to become a certified instructor: Click here
Will I be able to see the violet light?
It depends on how active your pineal gland is already but mostly we see the Violet Light around 3rd-4th days.
Is there a special way to come out of the darkroom at the end of the retreat?
After several days in complete darkness, the iris becomes very sensitive to light, so you need to go out during the night and spend some time in artificial light before you go back into the daylight.
What languages will be workshops translated into?
Master Mantak Chia will teach in English. There will be no translations.
How can I ask my questions during the class?
You'll be able to ask questions by text using Q&A in Zoom. Senior Instructors will reply back and during Q&A session Master Chia will reply to your questions.
What if I can’t join all of the workshops Live?
No problem at all, you will receive the recordings and can catch up after. You will have lifetime access to stream them in a high resolution.
