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 28 Days in Darkness, he recounts this harrowing experience, delving deep into his inner darkness and suffering and then emerging back into the world with profound insights.
- 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.
28 Days in Darkness 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.

Traver's personal mission and the mission of The UNcivilized Movement is to end the unnecessary suffering in men, to end the suffering caused by men -- all by metaphorically punching men in their hearts and waking them up. Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from Professional Bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver also teaches both men and women to skillfully use the inevitable pain of their lives as fuel for growth and positive change. With a passion for people and a unique lens through which to view the human experience, Traver is a highly sought after speaker teacher in the fields of consciousness, relationship, and personal development. When not leading workshops or radically shifting the way men experience their masculinity, Traver can be found obsessing over a single word in front of his laptop, chasing surf around the globe, and being awful at yoga.
