Retreats That Inspire in 2025

The true purpose of life, the heart of being human, is to discover the inner peace and contentment that is our birthright. When we go on retreat, we can learn to bring all the scattered aspects of our mind together, bring our mind home and awaken our wisdom mind. The Buddhist teachings offer us the great hope that this inner peace and wisdom is something we can experience for ourselves and one of the skillful methods we have for accessing this is the practice of meditation.

“Water and sky. That is how I usually describe Dzogchen Beara when asked. Such a beautiful spot to rest your mind in retreat. I dream about the day I can return”. – Liz

When we give ourselves the space and time of retreat, in unspoiled nature, we allow our true potential to come to the fore – uncontrived, natural wakefulness. The hearts’ love begins to flow as we peel back the layers and shed the tensions of everyday living.

“What a beautiful place to completely switch off and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. No tv, no phones, just breathtaking views, great books, inspiring chats with strangers and long walks in what has to be the most beautiful peaceful place in Ireland”. – Deirdre

So give yourself the gift of inner peace and kindness and book your 2025 retreat with us. View our new programme to see a wide range of retreats. There’s something for everyone and we look forward to welcoming you soon.
