FAQS
In the darkness, you can enter a primordial state —accessing spiritual and psychic realms of consciousness and reuniting with your true self. You become a conductor of universal energy as the darkness activates the deepest centers of the brain, the glands in the Crystal Palace.
The dark room is equipped with speakers that broadcast Mantak Chia's lectures several hours a day, guiding your practice.
Throughout your stay, you can easily contact reception via the phone in your room, ensuring a balance of independence and support in this unique transformative retreat.

During the retreat, you will follow the Pi Gu diet, a specialized detox regimen that supports mental and physical purification. Meals consist of nutrient-rich juices, herbal detox teas, vegetable broth, fruits, and egg whites, ensuring that your body's nutritional needs are met without animal or dairy proteins, except for egg whites for essential protein and calcium.
Pi Gu is an ancient Taoist method of fasting for spiritual and healing purposes. It translates from Chinese as “stop eating grain.”
Used by ancient Taoist masters during their months or years of solitary retreat in pursuit of enlightenment, the practice centers on a simple diet of fruits, teas, nuts, and eggs paired with special chewing techniques.
During the Pi Gu state, the need for food decreases yet the body’s energy levels actually increase. The body gathers Qi (Life force) not from food but from Taoist practices and the “golden elixir” produced by the special chewing practices. This Qi charges your internal organs, activating the body’s natural healing abilities and enabling you to draw energies from the Earth and Universe. In the pi gu state the body automatically balances itself, the mind is more relaxed, and sleep improves.
