Dzogchen Beara Retreat Centre: A thought provoking place of silence

Dzogchen Beara Retreat Centre offers relaxation and stunning views as Hilary Fennel discovered over a week’s retreat.

As I arrive at Dzogchen Beara Tibetan Buddhist Retreat, I’m struck not only by the natural beauty of the place, but also by the atmosphere of profound peace.

I’m here for a silent meditation retreat: No talking, wifi, books, or phones for what sounds like a very long week.
