Aye, you’ve read it right! These folks have a lovely Yoga and Meditation Retreat Centre they’ve built out on Clare Island - the largest of the off shore Mayo Islands. It lies about four miles off the nearest mainland point and is approximately a twenty minute ferry ride.

The accomodations are refurbished traditional island cottages, the yoga studio a modern timber building nearby. All houses utilize solar panels to heat water and provide natural light, and wood burning stoves for heat. Water is supplied by a private nearby spring located on the property. The ingredients that make up the sumptuous diet of vegetarian meals are sourced from local suppliers and generally greater than 90% are organic. All waste is compost or recycled to the best extent possible.

This is a breathtakingly beautiful location and will make for a truly memorable retreat. Please visit - we give these folks a very hearty 4 Green Thumbs Up!

All buildings at Enchanted Mountain Center are made from recycled materials. This means that instead of cutting down rain forest trees, the owners bought old buildingsd and houses that were being torn down in the area and reused the lumber and bricks for their construction. In addition to being ecologically sound, the result is a very unique architecture that blends in with the surroundings beautifully.
