The Shanti Space

No two trainings are ever the same ✨

You can plan a training. You can prepare the techniques, the anatomy, the structure, the demonstrations.
But you can never really plan what happens in between.

The unexpected questions. The moments when something suddenly makes sense. The laughter during practice. The things that don’t quite work the first time. The conversations that continue long after the session is over.

And all those little moments when people start trusting their own hands a little more.

Our week in Portugal The Shanti Space was full of all of this.

I loved watching people find their own way into the work. Some came with years of experience, others were just beginning. Everyone brought something different, and everyone had something to discover.

And that’s probably one of my favourite parts of teaching: You can share what you’ve learned over many years, but you never quite know what a group will make of it. Every training has its own character. Its own rhythm. Its own little surprises.

These are just a few moments from our week together.

Intense in all kinds of ways, sometimes challenging, often beautiful. And very much alive.

Thank you, everyone, for making this one what it was. ❤️

I am looking to the next trainings during this winter season in Mexico, and to being back The Shanti Space in Portugal twice next year: 23 - 30 May and 5 - 11 September, 2027

A NIGHT OF ALCHEMY
INTENTION | KIRTAN | COMMUNITY

NEXT: 6pm, SUNDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2026

With Artists: & , .singh &

Gather in community, meditation & kirtan as we honour the divine, elevate & unite our spirits in song.

Bhakti Yoga, the path of devotion, is the method of Self-Realisation through the way of love. It shows one how to lose oneself in devotion, making love with the divine, without losing one’s footing in life!

“Kirtan” is derived from a Sanskrit root meaning to call, recite, praise, or glorify, put simply, kirtan is the act of praising and glorifying divinity.

We welcome you warmly!

Another week at The Shanti Space, another group, and another reminder of why I love doing this work so much.

Seven days of touching, learning, giving, receiving, laughing, going very deep, and slowly becoming more comfortable with what it means to really meet another human being through the body.

Thank you to everyone who came to this training and trusted the process. I know it takes something to let yourself be seen, touched and challenged in this way. It was beautiful to watch how this group came together and how much changed over the course of the week ❤️

And of course, I couldn’t do these trainings the way I do them without my team. 𝐒𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧 ॐ, .wisdom, and Ilinca Lang, thank you for being there, for taking care of so many things behind the scenes and for bringing your own presence into the space.

Thank you The Shanti Space for giving us such a beautiful place to do this work. And Zoe from Zoé | Private Chef, Chi Nei Tsang & Holistic Nutrition for feeding us so well throughout the week.

I’m already missing this group.

And I’m already looking forward to the next one.
