Dzogchen Beara

Everyone is welcome to visit Dzogchen Beara and experience this unique cliff-top retreat on the Beara Peninsula, located in one of the most inspiring locations in Ireland.

Whether you are a curious passer-by, new to meditation and Buddhism or an experienced meditation practitioner, Dzogchen Beara has something for you this Summer.

Start your day with a daily drop-in meditation class in the temple (9:15am and 2:15pm). It’s free and you don’t need to book! Get a free guided tour of the temple (daily at 1:45pm) or try Kum Nye, a type of Tibetan yoga (Wednesdays) or walking meditation (Fridays).

Half-day mini-retreats (Tuesdays and Thursdays - online booking available) are a great way to dive deeper into meditation. Want to explore even more? All year round Dzogchen Beara offers a programme of weekend and week long retreats too.

Exploring the Beara Peninsula? Stop for a while and enjoy the beautiful views and home-baked treats in the friendly cafe, ramble coastal meadows or relax in beautiful gardens with spectacular Atlantic vistas. Want to stay longer? Dzogchen Bear’s Failte Ireland approved accommodation includes secluded cliff-top cottages, a farmhouse hostel and en-suite private rooms with ocean-view conservatories.

Whether it’s an hour, a day or even a week, you’ll leave here feeling relaxed and inspired!
