The Packers\u2019 quarterback told <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ZL_HiYwx7sg\">Pat McAfee<\/a>\u00a0that he is still unsure of his future intentions, but that he would be going to a \u201cDarkness Retreat\u201d in order to learn more about sensory deprivation. At that time, it\u2019s expected that he will show himself to the public and announce whether he intends to retire, join the Packers in 2023, or even ask for a trade.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a tour of sky cave darkness retreats in Oregon where Aaron Rodgers spent 2 days before leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AmDBhQqhk4\">pic.twitter.com\/AmDBhQqhk4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Shannonnn sharpes Burner (PARODY Account) (@shannonsharpeee) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shannonsharpeee\/status\/1628861498901794817?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>We cannot simply ignore the entire \u201cDarkness Retreat\u201d situation. It\u2019s Rodgers\u2019 most recent obsession with broadening his thinking. What then is a \u201cDarkness Retreat,\u201d what does Rodgers aim to accomplish with one, and what promises are made by those in charge of these camps?<\/p>\n<h2>Dark retreats have been a tradition for a very long time.<\/h2>\n<p>In some schools of Tibetan Buddhism and Bon, an ancient Buddhist sect, prolonged periods of darkness are a regular practise.<\/p>\n<p>Both times they advise the yogi (religious practitioners) to spend a lot of time alone in dark, specifically designed spaces. This is combined with the application of imagination-enhancing practises, which some contend results in visions and spiritual awareness.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Photos from Aaron Rodgers darkness retreat. <\/p>\n<p>This place going for at least $3k a month in NYC. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EIy6dEjS6O\">pic.twitter.com\/EIy6dEjS6O<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Tom Grossi (@tomgrossicomedy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomgrossicomedy\/status\/1628762667358855171?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>In the religious tradition, it is thought that individuals who become adept at being in the dark can meet with gods. Additionally, it can span anything from a few hours to several years and is only performed by experienced yogis under tight supervision.<\/p>\n<h2>Does a Dark Retreat have any effect?<\/h2>\n<p>Your viewpoint on something is wholly dependent upon how you understand the underlying religious ideas. For a moment, let\u2019s put Tibetan Buddhism aside and pay attention to the affluent Americans who are paying to spend time in the dark.<\/p>\n<p>The Ganzfeld Effect provides some empirical support for the idea that someone experiencing sensory deprivation may have visions. This is when the brain enhances neural noise in an effort to magnify visual signals when it is deprived of visual stimuli after receiving them for a prolonged length of time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Aaron Rodgers darkness retreat has officially ended, this is where he spent his time (via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FOS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@FOS<\/a>) <\/p>\n<p>Partially underground in a Hobbit-like structure with 300 square feet of space that included:<\/p>\n<p>* Bathroom <br \/>* Queen bed<br \/>* Meditation-like mat on the floor<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MDflvwHg0D\">pic.twitter.com\/MDflvwHg0D<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFL_DovKleiman\/status\/1628833689076436994?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>People in isolation experience things as a result of their brain amplifying certain brain activity.

It was unable to contact Mr. Rodgers or his agents for comment.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s going to enter the shadows. Rodgers promised McAfee that he would spend four days at the retreat, after which he would likely return with the solution to the question of his future. From then, no one knows when we\u2019ll learn more about his plans for 2023.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This was where Aaron Rodgers did his \u201cdarkness retreat\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a 300 square foot cave with no lighting, a queen bed and a bathroom with a yoga mat on the floor. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/QU1VlKsGaD\">pic.twitter.com\/QU1VlKsGaD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; JPAFootball (@jasrifootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jasrifootball\/status\/1628832129772666884?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 23, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Rodgers often takes his time making decisions, as he did last year before finally re-signing with the Packers.
