Hi there, Thanks for the review! We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us in our cottages and we look forward welcoming you back again sometime in the future. Safe travels

Hi Dave, It's good to hear feedback from one of our friends and neighbours and to have the opportunity to answer your questions. If you have further queries please feel free to get in touch directly. Best wishes, Derek Accessibility: We’re very aware our rugged location presents mobility challenges (with the exception of the accessible Spiritual Care Centre) and we have improvements to make. We know this has affected your ability to access Dzogchen Beara and we’re sorry about that. We're committed to continually improving access at the centre and will keep you posted as we make these changes. Safeguarding: Dzogchen Beara operates a policy for the protection of children and vulnerable adults and we are developing safeguarding training in line with the commitments expressed in our conduct and values documents. We are registered for Garda clearance of new employees and volunteers. Dzogchen Beara is registered with the Irish Charities Regulator and we adhere to the Charities Governance Code. Rigpa undertook a series of reforms following the retirement of Sogyal Rinpoche in August 2017, and serious complaints against him. An independent report was commissioned by Rigpa in 2018 and we continue to act upon its recommendations. You can read statements here: https://www.rigpa.org/moving-forward, where you will also find our Code of Conduct, Shared Values & Guidelines and our Grievance Procedure which are at the heart of our commitment to provide a safe environment for everyone at Dzogchen Beara.
