Léčba tmou near Kutná Hora

Napsal / 21.8.2017

Five separate windowless wooden cabins in an orchard on the edge of the village of Lomec near Kutná Hora, about an hour’s drive from Prague. The cabins are equipped identically: private shower and flush toilet, underfloor heating, air conditioning and heat-recovery ventilation. Four are for one person; the fifth (Svatyně lásky) is intended for couples and can also be used by an individual.

The guides come once a day with vegetarian food and talk to the participant only if they wish; a no-contact stay is also possible on request. There is an introductory meeting before the start and a conversation at the end. The offer ranges from a single trial night to stays of several weeks, most often a week, and free dates are shown in a public online calendar. The website states that this is neither a medical treatment nor a medical facility, and describes the contraindications in detail.
