Location of Passaddhi 

Passaddhi is about 2 miles (3 km) from the main Glengarriff-Castletownbere road on the Beara Peninsula in the south-west of Ireland, overlooking Bantry Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The retreat centre is situated mid-way between Sugarloaf Mountain and Hungry Hill, an appropriate location for a place where the middle way between indulgence and self-mortification is practised.
