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 \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 CostWe do tiered pricing\, depending on the circumstances. €295 waged€260 low-waged€215 unwaged or student You can pay a deposit of €75 to secure your place. \n \n \n \n \n \n A €75 deposit per person of this payment is non-refundable under all circumstances. If you wish to cancel or transfer a booking please notify us as soon as possible at info@dublinbuddhistcentre.org Cancellation:If you wish to cancel your place more than 14 days prior to the retreat starting\, a full refund minus the deposit will be offered.If cancellation occurs within 14 days of the retreat starting no refund will be available.TransfersAt least 14 days before the retreat starts: we will transfer your place to another residential retreat if there are places available on the alternative residential retreat.14 days or less before the retreat starts: we may be able to transfer your place to another residential retreat if there are places available on the alternative residential retreat and we can fill your place on the original retreat.If the residential retreat you wish to transfer to costs more than your original booking you will need to pay the difference at the time of transferring in order to secure your place.We will refund the difference if the residential retreat you wish to transfer to costs less than the original booking.We will only transfer a booking once and no transfer will be possible once a residential retreat has started. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n BOOK NOW \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Location: Shubha Vihara\n \n Address:\n \n\nBallycorrigan\n \n \n Ballina\,\n\n Co.
