Imagine stepping into a space where labels, assumptions, and hierarchy disappear. Where vulnerability leads to deeper connections, and barriers to authentic communication dissolve. In the Dark is not just a workshop—it’s a methodology for unlocking potential, fostering leadership, and transforming the way we engage with one another.

Beyond Traditional Workshops: A Methodology of Radical Authenticity
Founded by Sara Minkara, In the Dark is an immersive, experiential approach that removes sight—not to simulate blindness, but to challenge assumptions, dismantle limiting narratives, and foster genuine engagement.
Through carefully designed constraints, participants reevaluate their leadership styles, communication habits, and perceptions, leading to deeper personal insight and the development of stronger, more inclusive teams.
Why In the Dark?
Have you ever felt unheard in a meeting, constrained in a conversation, or stuck in the status quo?
It takes courage to be fully authentic, to listen deeply, and to challenge preconceived ideas.
In the Dark workshops provide a safe and powerful space for transformation—whether in leadership, policymaking, problem-solving, team-building, or negotiation.
