Programma
Each day begins in stillness. As the valley slowly awakens, you gather for one hour of meditation and pranayama, a gentle way to ground yourself, connect with your breath, and set the tone for the day ahead. Then the morning continues with an energizing Vinyasa yoga practice, building warmth, strength, and presence, before brunch.
Until brunch, silence is held. Creating space to turn inward, integrate your experience, and allow the body and mind to truly rest. This quiet time invites deeper awareness and a meaningful pause from the outside world.
The afternoon is yours to enjoy freely. Rest in the peaceful surroundings of The Shanti Space, take a walk through nature, head to the nearby wild beaches, enjoy a surf lesson, or explore the village of Ericeira.
As the day softens into evening, you come together again for a gentle practice, Qigong, Tai Chi, and Yin Yoga, calming the nervous system and preparing for a shared, nourishing dinner.
The retreat is guided by Nuno Damaso and his daughter, Nina Damaso, who hold a warm, grounded, and supportive space throughout the journey.

Instructeurs
Nuno Damaso
Nuno Damaso is practicing Taekwondo for 40 years and is the headmaster of his own martial arts school in Basel for the past 25 years. He holds 7th DAN awarded by the Kukkiwon World Taekwondo Headquarters in Seoul. Furthermore, he is a graduated high-performance sports trainer by the Swiss Olympics. His desire to teach martial arts in a natural environment led Nuno to the idea of offering this retreat in this unique form in Monte Orada.
Nina Damaso
Nina took her first yoga class in Miami when she was 19. After finishing her business studies, she traveled in South-East Asia for several months, where she discovered new styles, had the opportunity to practice with different international teachers, and deepened her own practice. In 2019, she completed her 200-hour YTT at YogaUnion in Bali. Her classes are challenging and intensive at the beginning, and deeply relaxing and grounding at the end, to allow you to go deeper, and find a stronger connection with yourself, and more balance in everyday life.
Retreat locatie
The retreat takes place at The Shanti Space, a peaceful sanctuary tucked away in the gentle beauty of the Portuguese countryside, just minutes from Ericeira. Surrounded by the tapada da mafra, wild nature, and open skies, it is a place where the noise of everyday life fades, and a deeper sense of presence begins to unfold.
Set in a serene and secluded landscape, The Shanti Space offers a harmonious blend of comfort and simplicity. Thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor spaces invite rest, reflection, and meaningful connection. Whether practicing in the light-filled shala, relaxing beneath ancient trees, or watching the sun dip below the horizon, every corner holds a quiet kind of magic.
Perfectly located near Ericeira, a charming coastal town known for its laid-back atmosphere and breathtaking Atlantic views, the retreat center offers the best of both worlds: tranquil countryside seclusion and easy access to the ocean. Just a short drive away, dramatic cliffs and wild beaches meet the powerful Atlantic, creating a landscape that feels both raw and deeply inspiring.
The Shanti Space is a sanctuary for slowing down, softening, and returning to what truly matters.
