This retreat will be an excellent opportunity to immerse yourself in ideal conditions for meditation and Dharma practice\, guided by a deeply experienced Buddhist practitioner. Over the course of the weekend\, we’ll be exploring selections from the Udāna—a rich and evocative early Buddhist text filled with profound and poetic teachings. Together\, we’ll reflect on its insights and relevance to our lives\, supported by meditation\, discussion\, and the shared practice of spiritual friendship. Living in Berlin\, Dharmapriya is a well-known teacher of both Buddhism and Iyengar Yoga\, and travels widely to Triratna Buddhist centres across the world—including the United States\, Mexico\, and of course Ireland. \n \n \n \n \n \n WhenFriday 4th – Sunday 6th July 2025 WhereBru Moytura\, Corlisheen\, Riverstown\, Co. Sligo.Bru Moytura is a 100-foot wide wooden retreat centre in the foothills of rural Sligo. The ‘brugh’ stems from the Irish notion of a hosting place. The great circular hall is perfect for meditation\, ritual and discussion groups. A beautiful sunlit front room to the south west is the dining zone. Unique geothermal underfloor heating system means that the meditation/yoga-mats will never be cold! \n \n \n \n \n \n This retreat is for men who have a meditation practice of the Mindfulness of Breathing and Metta Bhavana meditation practices. \n \n \n \n \n \n The retreat will be led by Dharmapriya with Pavara and Maitrikaya. \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 foodThe chance to reflect \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 Bru Moytura is an aproximately 2.5 hour drive from Dublin City Centre. If you cannot drive yourself there will be an opportunity to car pool subject to availability. \n \n \n \n \n \n CostWe do tiered pricing\, depending on the circumstances. €280 waged€240 low-waged€200 unwaged or student \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What to ExpectThere are several individual private cubicles in the central area along with bedrooms where the accommodation is shared with at least one other retreatant. 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. Please be aware there are a number of cat’s resident at this venue. You can view photos of the accommodation here. \n \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 Location: Bru Moytura\n \n Address:\n \n\nCorlisheen\n \n \n Riverstown\,\n\n Co.
