History

Dzogchen Beara West Cork People Retreat to Dzogchen Beara

Peter and Harriet Cornish bought the land where Dzogchen Beara is located in 1973. In 1992, they offered the land and its buildings to a charitable trust under the guidance of Sogyal Rinpoche. Harriet died in 1993 and her death, and the way she was cared for, became the inspiration for the Spiritual Care Centre, which opened in 2007. Peter Cornish and Dzogchen Beara were the subject of a documentary made for Dutch television called The Retiring Hermit. Cornish's memoir describing the creation of Dzogchen Beara was published in 2014 under the title Dazzled by Daylight.
