Retreats on Inis Rath, the Hare Krishna Island - Spiritual Travel in Ireland

Wednesday June 24, 2009
Retreat Center on Inis RathLake Isle Retreats is a revelation – situated on Inis Rath, also nicknamed (and signposted as) Hare Krishna Island, it is based in an old hunting lodge on a small island in Lough Erne. Where once rich landowners and their guests enjoyed shooting, these days pursuits are much more peaceful. A wide variety of activities are on offer, all non-denominational.

Participants in the retreats will enjoy vegetarian meals of a very high quality – about the same fare you would get in the excellent Govinda's in Dublin.

Apart from the self-guided retreat to just hang out, you are welcome to visit Inis Rath and enjoy nature – there are woodland walks around the island and wide swathes of sensibly landscaped gardens. A ferry runs on Sundays.
