Surroundings In the beautiful nature of Ireland, we will have some space in the program for a walk or relaxation in the green surrounding us. You will be inspired by the pristine nature and lovely countryside. We have the privilege of having a little river, fresh air, smiles, hugs, and growing our vegetables in an amazing garden, honoring Mother Earth. A curious and amazing fact of this area is that there are hundreds of wild horses walking around! Yes, it still exists!Accommodation There are possibilities to sleep either in a room, a garden cabin or to camp.

About Us
We are part of Sunrise Trust, a nonprofit organization, on a mission to spread yoga and eco-social-spirital initiatives supporting projects worldwide. Since starting in 2000, we have transformed an abandoned farm in Ireland into a green, organic edible landscape, creating a flourishing vegetable garden, and implementing systems of permaculture and eco-buildings.
We are improving and growing every year and we will be delighted to have your presence and participation. Remembering that when we are healing ourselves we are also contributing to making a world better.
​
RetreatsDharma is located in the most peaceful countryside and landscapes of Ireland. We are nestled in Whitegate, County Claire, in a privileged location, surrounded by nature, with plenty of space and surprisingly, wild horses.
We are only 1 hour from Shannon airport.
