Who is this for?

Whether you are a beginner on the Buddhist path, or an experienced dharma practitioner, this is a special opportunity to reflect deeply on how we see ourselves and our place in the world, how we relate to everything that happens in our life and how we can bring these teachings into everyday experience for our own benefit and the benefit of the world.

Location

The retreat will be held in our new Dzogchen Beara Temple. With expansive views across the bay, the temple is a modern example of a traditional Tibetan monastery, a form of architecture designed to be an inspiring symbol of the Buddha’s teachings for our times.

Catering

Vegetarian lunches and evening meals are provided as part of your fee.
