What happens when you take psychedelics in the dark?
<p>If you’re reading this blog when it’s published on Thursday 6th February 2020, I will be on day five (of six) in a <a href="https://garethpickering.com/six-days-alone-in-a-dark-room/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">darkness retreat</a>. The six-day experience is to spend time alone in darkness and in silence as an introspective process.</p>
