The Common Knowledge Centre

Recibí una cálida bienvenida cuando llegué tarde por la noche al Common Knowledge Centre. Encendieron la chimenea, me dieron un pequeño recorrido por el edificio y me explicaron todo muy bien. Me recomendaron un lugar estupendo para cenar y, por supuesto, la cama era muy cómoda y la habitación era cálida y acogedora, ¡algo que agradecí con el clima invernal! :) La mejor parte fue el personal: gente encantadora, cálida, amable e interesante que parece amar realmente lo que hace. La biblioteca de libros e instrumentos musicales y el hermoso espacio de la sala de estar realmente contribuyeron a la atmósfera del lugar. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme allí y lo recomendaría a cualquiera que participe en un curso allí.

I loved the philosophy and atmosphere that ran through the course, the welcome and engagement with the staff , the place, even the food. It was genuine and thoughtfully designed, while avoiding a feeling of being judgemental in its sustainable practices, vegetarian food or about peoples' experience levels. Reminded me of the best bits of yoga retreats but without the less pleasant parts that crop up occasionally. The staff were so genuinely warm; there was no sense of any performative or jaded hospitality! They were helpful and kind to us because they are helpful and kind! Just a delightful and interesting bunch of people and a really lovely experience. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend Common Knowledge. I attended the fermentation workshop. It was hugely informative & I came away having the practical knowledge to make my own fermented foods whilst being inspired on many different levels. The environment is positive & engaging. It was everything I didn’t realise I needed & more. A wonderful reset that I can carry forward

Love the vibe and energy of this place. Most people stay here to learn and share collective experience, we did a fermentation course which was fantastic. The accommodation is rustic, cosy and welcoming everything you could want from an authentic Irish stay. The beds and rooms are comfortable and the common areas are relaxing and well thought out. I will be back!

The stay did not meet my expectations. There is a need for heartfelt communication with the land and a request to listen to the voice of the land. The landscape here has been disrespected through it's continued disturbance without asking her permission. I would recommend staying elsewhere.
