There will be three delicious vegan meals each day and snacks available inbetween. There will be an opportunity to explore the beautiful location as well as connect with other retreatants. \n \n \n \n \n \n We asked previous retreat participants what the highlights were for them. They answered: Meeting others on the retreatThe yogaThe meditationThe foodThe chance to reflect \n \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 \n \n The most worthwhile thing I’ve done in a long time.   – Hugh If you want to get off the motorway of modern life for a while and park somewhere quiet to reflect and review the direction you are taking in your journey… A retreat with the Dublin Buddhist Centre can offer you a change of oil\, new spark plugs\, a cleaner windscreen\, tightened suspension and quite possibly update your Sat-nav so that you may finally know where you are going.   – Colin \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Shubha Vihara is an approximately 2 hour and 15 minute drive from Dublin City Centre. There is usually there an opportunity to car pool\, subject to availability. If you can offer lifts\, let us know on the booking form. Buses can be taken to Limerick (UL) and then Ballina where pickups can be arranged. You can also get the train to a nearby town (Birdhill) and a taxi for the rest of the trip. \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.
