Hi, I don't like the vipassana retreats because in my opinion they are too rigid and I can't bear having to repeat like a robot "I surrender to dharma" or "I surrender to Buddha" as SN Goenka likes his followers to do.
But I loved "The Big Silence" series on TV and was wondering if there is a catholic retreat centre here in Ireland that does retreats like St Beuno's in Wales (8 days of silence and prayers with possibility to talk with a spiritual guide once a day).
Thank you for any suggestion on this!
