In this episode, Craig sits down for a second round with renowned men’s coach Traver Boehm to share his experience of a recent 49 day dark retreat.
Together they discuss what led him back into a 49-day dark retreat after a season of grief, death, and deep internal change. Traver opens up about fear, initiation, the psychological intensity of total darkness, and how the experience altered the way he works, writes, and lives.
SHOW NOTES:
- What pushed Traver to return to the dark
- Why the 49-day retreat felt like an initiation rather than an adventure
