Buddha gave many teachings to help us find lasting peace.
One of the most important of these is ‘The Four Seals’.
This explains to us the real nature of all the things we see and experience in our everyday life.
Through this knowledge, we can find real meaning and purpose, and gain the happiness we all wish for.
This retreat offers an opportunity to explore these profound Buddhist teachings, with talks and guided meditations, allowing us to understand and experience directly their transformative power. Guided by Buddhist Nun Gen Chitta and Kadampa Teacher Ian McGlade, both with a wealth of experience to share, the talks and meditations will be both accessible, practical and profound.

The Location
Set on the tranquil shores of Upper Lough Erne, Share Village is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and gently rolling landscapes that invite both reflection and discovery. The peaceful waterside setting and expansive grounds offer a natural sense of calm, while the ever changing light across the lough creates a quietly uplifting atmosphere. Share Village provides a restorative environment where relaxation and connection with nature come effortlessly.

Discover Happiness from Within

We all want to be happy, yet even when life is going well, feelings of frustration, anxiety, disappointment and conflict can still arise. Why is this? Is it possible to find happiness that doesn’t depend on our circumstances?
In this eight-week meditation course, we’ll explore Buddha’s timeless wisdom on understanding the mind and transforming our experience of life. Rather than simply managing problems, we’ll learn how to recognise their real causes and discover practical methods for developing lasting inner peace, whatever challenges we face.
Based on How to Solve Our Human Problems by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, the course follows a natural journey, from discovering the source of happiness, to understanding the causes of unhappiness, finding freedom from anger, transforming life’s challenges, and ultimately learning to live with greater peace and compassion.
Each class includes guided meditation and practical teachings that can be applied immediately to everyday life. While every session stands alone, together they form a complete course in developing a happier, more peaceful way of living.
