28 Days in Darkness: A Journey from the Depth of Despair to the Joy of Awakening
Join Traver Boehm as he embarks on a profound 28-day initiation into darkness, a journey that forever alters his perception of self and the world around him.
Through his lens, you will learn how to embrace darkness, break free from suffering, find hope, and reclaim your life.
In 2016, Traver Boehm voluntarily spent 28 straight days in a pitch-black room, utterly alone, embarking on an inward journey that forever altered his perception of darkness. For four weeks, he couldn’t see his hand an inch from his face—voluntarily. In Know Darkness, Know Truth, he recounts this harrowing experience, delving deep into his inner darkness and suffering and then emerging back into the world with profound insights.
But this book isn’t just about Boehm’s dark journey; it's an invitation for you to explore your own darkness and uncover the gems hidden deep in the cave of your wounds. And you don’t have to sacrifice a month of your life to find them as he did.
This book serves to answer two fundamental
· How do you navigate life when everything falls apart?
· What truths can only be discovered in the midst and aftermath of crisis?
In our culture, we tend to shy away from darkness, pain, and challenge, collectively seeking only love and light. We medicate our discomfort, hide behind our curated social media personas, and avoid confronting the parts of ourselves we’ve deemed tainted and unworthy. Yet we live in deeply troubled times that demand an evolved and holistic authenticity, and that includes our personal and collective darkness. This book provides a pathway to seek that fully realized authenticity.
Know Darkness, Know Truth doesn’t just recount Boehm’s heartbreak and pain; it offers a road map for you to embrace your own devastation, accept the parts of yourself that you pretend do not exist, and find the truths that will finally set you free. Each chapter will leave you with concrete steps you can take immediately to navigate your heartache, anger, grief, and so much more.
This book is for you if you’re tired of living behind rose-colored glasses and crave the kind of authenticity, power, and connection that can’t be found solely by looking upward and outside of yourself. It’s for brave souls willing to seek the real truth, the kind you only find when things get dark.

I was honored to have been given an advanced copy of the book by Traver. This one will make you laugh and cry and it really hits on multiple levels. You will find parts of yourself in the book and parts you didn’t know you had that need tending to or acknowledgement. The book has so much depth, and Traver is such a good writer. His other books are also greats, but this one is much deeper. Highly recommend it.

Phenomenal writing. I haven’t finished a book this fast in years. I could feel Traver’s heart and soul in this book. I appreciate his openness in sharing the raw depth of his experiences. It made me want to hug all of humanity for everything we’ll never know what others go through.
