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.

There are no single rooms at this venue. Sharing a room is a meaningful aspect of the retreat.
