What Is An Ashram
The word ‘Ashram’ is a term used in India to describe a place where people come together to engage in Spiritual practice e.g. Yoga and meditation. In an Ashram practitioners create a community, living a certain way of life. An Ashram is a place a person can discover God (of their understanding) within and be nourished by that experience. It is different to a retreat centre in that a person can stay for a day, weekend or weeks, while continuing to work, to benefit from the spiritual practices, contribute to the community and partake in a different way of life. At Anam Ashram, any person of any creed, nationality, colour or race can join the community and the Spiritual practices on offer. We practice Meditation, Prayer, Yoga, Karma Yoga, and other Awareness practices, so everyone can benefit in body, heart, mind and spirit.
What we do
Anam Ashram is a quiet peaceful homely space. With beautiful gardens, set in a Dublin suburb, Anam Ashram is the only Christian Ashram in Ireland. Everyone, regardless of their spiritual journey, is welcome to come.
We integrate Eastern and Western spiritual practices, have a deeper meditative yoga practice, in a small, intimate setting.
In line with our ethos we encourage wholesome living. Vegetarian/vegan cuisine, care for the environment and intentional community living, are all part of our Ashram way of life.

Testimonials.
Words from some of the people who have visited Anam Ashram
“In late 2018 I began a course in Anam Ashram taken from John Bradshaw’s book “The Homecoming” and found a real sense of place there. Kind of a home from home with a warm stove, tea, coffee and biscuits on hand it allowed me to carry out the work that I was there to do. Staff were extremely friendly and always ready to offer help in any way required. I’ll be back.”
Marty
Homecoming course participant
“I am very grateful for the opportunity to be part of the community at Anam Ashram. I feel that meditation and the exchange about spiritual topics continue to nurture me and that I find peace here. The retreat days and evening courses are a great way to share what we have here with other interested people who in turn bring new ideas and views. Over the course of the last year and a half, I have developed in so many ways – in my personal spiritual path as well as in my perception of the world and all beings in it. Om Shanti.”
