About Competition
The aim of “Ireland Meditation mine” is to recondition an Irish industrial archaeological masterpiece into a meditation destination immersed in nature.
This is the goal of the competition Ireland Meditation Mine, aiming at turning Irish industrial archaeology masterpieces into a retreat and meditation destination for people who look for meaningful experiences away from contemporaneity and immersed in the mystic beauty of a timeless nature.
Surrounded by stones tormented by the wind and uninterrupted silence, humanity can undertake the escape from civilization that urged the first wise men to retire to their caves in pursuit of a solitary life that has always been considered the most effective recipe for human happiness.
