Meditation doesn’t have to be complicated or difficult. Many of us can feel we are doing something wrong if our mind is full of thoughts and distractions, worries and feelings. If we can simply learn to stay present to all that arises, that is meditation!

Open to all Rigpa Sangha who have already received instructions on Ngöndro.

In this midweek retreat John Douglas will introduce Self Compassion experientially, looking at ways to cultivate a deeper sense of warmth and kindness towards ourselves.

The Rigpa sangha in Dzogchen Beara engages in intensive practices leading up to losar. Rigpa students are welcome to join these practices.

This event has been moved from November 2025 to February 2026 and is fully booked.

When our hearts and minds are filled with love we naturally experience happiness and well-being, yet many of us feel a poverty of love, which we may experience as either feeling unloved or not being able to love others as fully as we would wish.

Grief is a natural response to the ongoing loss we experience when someone close to us dies. In this retreat, using meditation and reflections, we will explore ways to be with our sorrow and to understand change and impermanence.

Based on traditional Tibetan healing practices, and suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Kum Nye’s movement and breathing exercises restore the body’s natural rhythms and calm the mind.

Renowned author and meditation teacher Kirsten DeLeo takes us on a journey to transform fears around dying and death. Join us to discover that death is actually about life; about finding the heart of being human.

Our complex world can tempt us to spend a lot of time in our heads. During this weekend retreat, the focus will be on meditation practice as a way to savour the uniqueness of each moment and rediscover the joy of simply being.
