solitary retreats

In Buddhist tradition, dating back to the time of the Buddha, practitioners have undertaken periods of solitude and reflection as integral to their practice. At Dhanakosa we support this tradition by the upkeep and maintenance of two separate solitary retreat facilities.

crotha bothy

The Bothy provides a more remote solitary retreat facility for those experienced with solitary retreats and looking for a secluded space to do a longer retreat. You can book for a minimum period of 3 weeks. Click here for more information.

Note: There is an application process to book a retreat in the Bothy due to the isolated location and longer minimum period of stay.

vajra sheilin hut

Our Vajra Sheilin retreat hut is an excellent facility both for those familiar to retreat practice, and for those who are looking to undertake their first solitary retreat. You can book for one to two weeks at a time, see availability in the calendar below. Click here for more information about the hut and how to book.
