In this episode, we explore the profound wisdom that lives in the dark.
Sjanett sits down with Ananda-Jey Wojciech, founder of The Ultimate Darkness Retreat in Poland, to talk about what happens when you turn off all the lights — literally and metaphorically. What remains when your senses slow down, and there is nothing left to distract you?
Ananda-Jey shares how darkness can be both confronting and deeply healing. In the absence of external light, you meet yourself — and discover your own inner luminosity. Together, they discuss silence, surrender, the body’s intelligence, and how transformation unfolds when you stop trying to control it.
A conversation about trust, stillness, and finding home within yourself.

What is shadow work? About spirituality and self help | #113 Jamie Catto
Talking with film-maker, author and musician Jamie Catto about shadow work and the creative process. While you may know Jamie from Faithless, I was particularly interested in his spiritual guidance and share our mutual adoration of Ram Dass, about whom Jamie produced and directed his latest documentary Becoming Nobody.
Ten minutes into the podcast, Jamie guides me through a meditation in shadow work; dealing with my inner critic and persistent feeling of not (being) good enough.
Both the meditation and our conversation around ego, creativity, self-help, enlightenment and loneliness were very helpful, even more so the second time listening. Feel free to do the meditation alongside with us and let me know how it went for you.
