Sleeps: 6-10 Passaddhi is a small meditation centre in the Beara Peninsula, in the southwest of Ireland. It was built as a family home in 1996 by Marjó Oosterhoff and her husband, and since 1999 meditation retreats take place at the house.
Although the meditation practices taught at Passaddhi are Buddhist in origin, one does not need to be a Buddhist to benefit from meditation, nor is there anything in these teachings that urges one to convert to Buddhism. As the Buddha said: ‘Come and see, find out for yourself if these practices lead to greater happiness.’
The schedule for each retreat offered at Passaddhi may differ, depending on the teacher and on the length of the retreat. Weekend retreats are usually taught by Marjó, and will have a slightly less formal structure than the longer retreats, which are taught by teachers invited by Marjó.
See www.vipassana.ie for more details about meditation and about retreats at Passaddhi.
Treatments
Passaddhi seeks to make the teachings of the Buddha, and in particular the meditation practices of vipassana (insight or mindfulness) and metta (lovingkindness), available to as many people as possible, whether they are Buddhist or non-Buddhist.
Meditation can bring relaxation and freedom from stress, but it goes much deeper than this. In the quiet and ease of meditation a deep sense of peace can develop, a peace that is sometimes called ‘more peaceful than peace itself’.
Marjó Oosterhoff is the resident teacher and manager at Passaddhi Meditation Centre, Adrigole, Beara, co. Cork. She has practised meditation (both vipassana and metta) for many years, in monasteries and meditation centres in Burma and Thailand, as well as in Buddhist retreat centres in the West. She was authorised to teach the practices of vipassana and metta by her teachers.

Because Passaddhi Meditation Centre is really just an ordinary house, a retreat here helps to integrate mindfulness and awareness in our everyday lives.
