SUMMARY:The Brahma Viharas - Autumn Sangha Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The Brahmaviharas \n \n \n \n Autumn Sangha Retreat \n \n \n \n 3 Nights\, Friday 23rd – Monday 26th October 2026 \n \n \n \n Led by Vajrashura\, Sadayasihi\, and Jnanalila \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What will be explored? \n \n \n \n When and where \n \n \n \n Who is this retreat for? \n \n \n \n The retreat leaders \n \n \n \n What people enjoy most \n \n \n \n The food \n \n \n \n How to get there \n \n \n \n Booking information \n \n \n \n Accommodation \n \n \n \n Booking Terms & Conditions \n \n \n \n \n \n \n On this autumn retreat we’ll be exploring the Brahma Viharas\, the fundamental bases of positive emotion: metta\, compassion\, sympathetic joy\, and equanimity. The common factor is metta\, loving-kindness – when it meets suffering\, it becomes compassion; when it meets happiness\, it becomes sympathetic joy; and when it is infused with wisdom\, it becomes deep and unshakable equanimity. Through cultivating these wonderful qualities\, we will find that we can respond to anything life throws up with an open and responsive heart\, unlimited by any negative responses. They are described as being like ‘dwelling in heaven’ as they imbue our world with colour\, aliveness\, and love\, and we can even feel in touch with the unlimited heart of the Buddha himself. \n \n \n \n \n \n WhenFriday 23rd to Monday 26th October 2026 WhereThis retreat will take place in our very own retreat centre Shubha Vihara\, in Ballycorrigan\, Ballina\, Co. Tipperary. It’s approximately 2 hour’s drive from Dublin City. See below for a Google Map. \n \n \n \n \n \n This retreat is for Sangha regulars and people who have a meditation practice of the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana meditation practices. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Vajrashura \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sadayasihi \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sadayasihi \n \n \n \n \n \n The retreat will be led by Vajrashura\, Sadayasihi\, and Jnanalila \n \n \n \n \n \n We asked previous retreat participants what the highlights were for them. They answered: Meeting others on the retreatThe meditationThe walking meditationThe foodThe chance to reflect and be in nature \n \n \n \n \n \n All dishes are vegan\, but don’t let that put you off. We’ve astounded by many omnivores on our retreats who admitted they had no idea vegan food could be so tasty and filling! Every meal is cooked from scratch\, and there is always enough for second helpings. No one ever goes hungry on our retreats. \n \n \n \n \n \n Shubha Vihara is an approximately 2 hour and 15 minute drive from Dublin City Centre. For most retreats\, we organise a car-sharing list so that people travelling from the same area can connect. If you need a lift or can offer one\, simply let us know when you book. While we can’t guarantee a lift\, car sharing is often possible and is a lovely way to begin your retreat in the spirit of friendship and community. Shubha Vihara is also accessible by public transport. The simplest route is to take a coach to Limerick and from there take Bus Éireann Route 323 to Ballina. By prior arrangement\, we can usually organise collection from Ballina\, making the final part of your journey to the retreat centre straightforward. \n \n \n \n \n \n CostWe do tiered pricing\, depending on the circumstances. €340 waged€300 low-waged€240 unwaged or studentYou can pay a deposit of €75 to secure your place. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What to ExpectAll bedrooms are shared with fellow participants\, typically with three to five retreatants per room. There are no single rooms at this venue. Sharing a room is a meaningful aspect of the retreat. Many find it enriching to live simply alongside others\, fostering a quiet sense of connection\, mutual support\, and community. This spirit of shared living reflects some key elements of Buddhist practice — simplicity\, awareness of others\, and compassion. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A €75 deposit per person of this payment is non-refundable under all circumstances.
