Why is West Cork such a haven for the wellness industry?

West Cork has always taken wellness seriously.
Long before there were Tibetan temples, sanctuaries, and luxurious spas, West Cork was the destination of choice for people who had the urge to head west for a day, a season, or a reason.
It was always a place where they could breathe fresh air, rest in its remoteness, and simply be.
In this episode of The Big Story, The Southern Star takes you behind the scenes at Dzogchen Beara, tells the history of Wellness in West Cork and asks what is it that makes the 'energy' here so alluring.
