Just before revving up his Jets‘ engines, Aaron Rodgers, the ex-quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, embarked on a “darkness retreat.” During this retreat, he spent a span of four days in a room enveloped in pitch-black, devoid of any digital devices or diversions, delving deep into introspection.

The retreat itself took place at Sky Cave Retreats, a haven for such practices nestled in Southern Oregon. The room Rodgers occupied was reminiscent of a cozy Hobbit dwelling, partially below the ground. It spanned 300 square feet and lacked any trace of light, featuring a queen-sized bed, a bathroom, and a meditation mat. Rodgers’ openness to unconventional therapies is evident from his past participation in meditation and yoga retreats. This exposure led him to claim a level of enlightenment that now allows him to discuss the most challenging aspects of healing.
