Take Time for Yourself Break free from stress

Rejuvenate and Relax Enjoy a Weekend away

Discover one of the most ideal spiritual retreats in Ireland with Lake Isle Retreats. We've been hosting retreats since 2006 and in June 2012 our cosy new retreat facility, Mandala House, was opened. It's situated on the shores of Upper Lough Erne, 400 metres across the water from Inis Rath Island. The lakeland area is a peaceful sanctuary where you can enrich your body, mind and soul. Peacock strut openly around the island, while in the local area heron, swan and deer wander freely in the peaceful lakeside atmosphere.

We are situated in Fermanagh, 1 hour 40mins drive from Dublin. For spiritual, holistic and meditation retreats in Ireland, perhaps there is no more fitting and beautiful location as L. Erne, with its 154 islands - 5 of which were historically the sites of monastic communities from the 6th Century. On nearby Inis Rath there is a beautiful Krishna temple and at our new retreat and accommodation facility on the adjacent mainland we offer you a very warm welcome. On retreats you may explore courses: Meditation, Yoga, Spirituality, Eastern Philosophy and Vegetarian Cookery. During your retreat you may also enjoy full-body aromatherapy massage and other Holistic Therapies

RG-400-Radha Govinda

Image above: Radha Govinda, the temple Deities on Inis Rath Island. Govinda (Krishna) is holding a flute. The fire in the foreground is the arati lamp offered during an ancient Vedic ceremony.

The Vedic tradition is seen today in the faith known as Hinduism, in Ayurveda holistic health techniques, in yoga, in the Sanskrit language (~"proto Indo-European" theory) which formed the basis of the languages that many of us speak, and in many other spheres of influence. Our retreats are fundamentally inspired by the great Vedic tradition.

On this retreat we travel to Belgium to enjoy spiritual life in a dynamic Krishna community with 100 residents. The community - known as Radhadesh - has several buildings including a guesthouse, gift-shop, restaurant and a college all centred around a beautiful castle. This Chateau houses the temple and residence for monks. Come and enjoy yourself! Read More

After the temple morning programme, there are plenty of options including walking, yoga, aromatherapy massage, kirtan, canoeing and archery etc (at the Durbuy Adventure centre 4kms away - the largest Activity Adventure centre in Belgium), milking the cows (by hand!), shopping, relaxing, hiking, etc, etc

Review

"I attended the Spiritual Warrior Retreat in the Ardennes in April 2013. The accommodation in the new guesthouse was simple but very comfortable. We joined the community for meals in the Chateau and the food was delicious. I enjoyed visiting the organic farm, discussing permaculture plans with the farmer and meeting the cows, oxen and the new calf. I attended the early morning programme in the temple each day which meant rising at 4.00am but it was such a lovely experience that it didn't seem like a hardship. I found all the people in the community very helpful in answering my questions and explaining things that were unfamiliar to me. I really enjoyed being in the company of the community in Radhadesh and am grateful for their kindness and encouragement on my journey. Thank you so much Tim for arranging the trip. Do you know that was my fourth retreat with you?!!"
