This retreat, led by Patrick Gaffney, will be held at Rigpa's retreat centre, Dzogchen Beara in Ireland. Patrick will share insights and simple practices from the Buddhist tradition that help to bring real meaning and clarity to our everyday life.

Working with the mind in meditation, we can bring more empathy and compassion into the way we relate to ourselves and others. During this weekend will see what happens when we look at life as a path of discovery and use all our experiences, good and bad, to awaken our compassionate heart.

Patrick brings clarity and humour to his exploration of what it means to live well in today’s complex world, helping us to discover ways to feel more calm, content and connected in everything we do.
