Autumn Weekend Guided Meditation Retreat with Kadampa Buddhist Nun Gen Chitta and Kadampa Buddhist Meditation Teacher Ian McGlade at Corcreggan Mill, Donegal
Friday 6th – Sunday 8th November, 2026
In person and live online for members
In this retreat we will have time to disconnect from the busyness of our life. Time to declutter and settle the mind and explore it’s true nature. Our mind has immeasurable power that is rarely realised or understood.
By becoming more familiar with the nature of our mind through guided meditation we can connect to the possibility of finding peace within it.
Within this peace there is limitless possibility to experience equanimity and love for ourself and all others.
Finding equanimity within our mind enables us to discover deeper levels of balance and clarity. This clarity opens up contemplations on Buddhist wisdom teachings about the nature of our reality, and makes sense of our life.
Everyone is welcome to attend this retreat. Each session will include guided breathing meditation, short Buddhist prayers, a talk and guided meditation practice. No experience or special clothing is necessary, seating will be in your choice of chairs or meditation cushions.
It is your time to step away from the pace of daily life and reconnect with yourself in a nurturing environment. The retreat venue is Corcreggan Mill, a charming and characterful haven on the Wild Atlantic Way. Set amid the serene landscapes of Donegal, with views stretching towards the Atlantic Ocean, it offers a peaceful and inspiring setting for reflection and rest. In the quiet moments between sessions, we can stroll along nearby coastal paths or simply breathe in the sea air. The accommodation is warm and inviting, with ensuite options available, and nourishing vegetarian meals are thoughtfully prepared using fresh ingredients.
