Many people visit Dzogchen Beara simply to enjoy a break from their busy lives. They find that the atmosphere of spiritual practice together with the seclusion and natural surroundings, provide an ideal environment for rest and reflection, healing and renewal.

Many Tibetan masters, and almost everyone who visits, comment on the extraordinary qualities of Dzogchen Beara - its beautiful natural environment and atmosphere of profound peace which comes from deep spiritual practice. Those from all walks of life and of any faith or none are equally welcome.
