Originally given to us by the Buddha\, the wonders of the Dharma are made fresh again and again by new ‘treasure revealers’. Guru Padmasambhava is the archetypal revealer of Dharmic treasurers. Before his departure for Tibet\, the land of the ogres\, he gave advice to his disciples on how to live by the Dharma and continue to reveal it to the world. On this autumn weekend retreat\, Subhadramati and Vajrashura will explore Padmasambhava’s advice – how we can live a rich and full life in the Dharma\, experience the treasures of the Dharma\, and bring them fully into the world to benefit all beings. \n \n \n \n \n \n WhenFriday 25th to Sunday 27th September 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 Subhadramati \n \n \n \n \n \n The retreat will be led by Vajrashura and Subhadramati \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.
