Aaron Rodgers spent 4 days isolated in complete darkness to 'figure out where I'm at in my life'

• Aaron Rodgers recently completed four days in a darkness retreat.
• Rodgers said there are aspects of the retreat that everybody should embrace, such as "unplugging."

While the NFL world is still in the dark about where Aaron Rodgers will play next season, the famed quarterback spent part of his off-season in the dark himself ... literally.

This week, Rodgers left a "dark retreat" in Oregon, according to ESPN, after spending four days in complete darkness and isolation.

Before going into isolation, Rodgers, who says he had done similar meditation retreats and has touted the benefits of ayahuasca, told "The Pat McAfee Show" that he wanted to get "a better sense of where I'm at in my life."

While he acknowledged that a darkness retreat is not going to be for everybody, he does believe that there are elements that most people should embrace.

"I think we all could use a dose of turning our phone off once in a while, unplugging from society," Rodgers told McAfee. "Some people don't want to do a few days and nights in darkness. That's fine ... I've done many meditation retreats, yoga retreats, things that have stimulated my mind and helped me get in a better headspace and have a greater peace in my life."

While it appears that Rodgers spent the entire four days in darkness, he did tell McAfee that if it became "too much," he would just walk out since the door was not locked.

Front Office Sports shared some photos of the retreat, which is partially underground, according to ESPN.

Rodgers has not said if he plans to retire or return to the NFL for a 19th season this fall. He is due to make $59.5 million next season.

There is also speculation that he could keep playing but with another franchise. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the New York Jets are one team that has inquired about trading for the four-time MVP.
