Vince Cullen, Buddhist & Meditation Teacher

Róisín Meets Podcast

Twenty-one years ago, Vince Cullen poured his last can of beer and promised himself that he would never drink alcohol again. Soon after, he began working with the Wat Thamkrabok monastery in Thailand and Buddhist-oriented drug and alcohol recovery centre, helping other addicts and alcoholics. On the latest Róisín Meets podcast, Cullen speaks to Róisín Ingle about his life as an Irish boy growing up in England, finding Buddhism and teaching meditation. Also on the podcast, Cullen speaks about buying 'The Hilltop’ pub in Carrigahorig, Tipperary and his plans to turn it into a residential mindfulness meditation centre, renamed ‘Nalagiri House‘; a pub with no beer serving mindfulness to those with a thirst for true happiness. On February 10th, Cullen will hold a one-day retreat at Ennismore (St. Dominic's) Retreat centre in Cork. You can find out about it here: http://hungryghostretreats.org/
