Susan Browne has been a Dharma student for 35 years and has done several years of closed retreat. She has guided many individuals and groups in personal and long-term retreat at Dzogchen Beara since 1997 and was responsible for the care and guidance of over 400 students during Rigpa’s 2006–2009 Three Year Retreat. In recent years she has focussed one-on-one helping people overcome challenges, and she leads retreats on contemplation and meditation at Dzogchen Beara, Rigpa’s retreat centre in Ireland. She is passionate about the continuity of the practice lineage and her aspiration is to spend more and more of her time in retreat.
