About this Retreat
Your Guides
My birth name is David Bóris, which is derived from a biblical character symbolizing a beloved warrior. The theme of fighting for love has been prevalent in my life. Yoga became a means for me to cultivate self-love. Embracing a path of self-discovery, I adopted the name Raj Das, where 'Raj' signifies king and 'Das' denotes devotion.
I humorously acknowledge that "a 'raj' is nothing without the 'das'," emphasizing my dedication to Bhakti Yoga. I place my faith in the transformative power of mantra, meditation, and Jap repetition.
During our session, we will incorporate Yin Yoga techniques and Kryias to prepare the body for mantra chanting and meditation. My goal is to create a nurturing environment for all, fostering self-awareness and unlocking new possibilities for unity among us.
Details of this retreat
In the capital of the Alentejo region of Portugal, in Évora, the time moves slower. The simplicity and harmony are embraced. We warmly invite you to our 3-day yoga & nature immersion retreat at Quinta Shiva, in Évora.
During the retreat we will slow down with the beautiful Alentejo nature, have calm yin-hatha yoga practices, kundalini mantras and meditation. In addition, we will have a forest bath hike, delicious vegetarian food for all of our senses, accommodation at glamping tents (private or 2-3 people sharing) and bonfire sharing circles in the evenings. You will also have accesses to massage, visit the historical centre and sound healing by booking during the retreat.
Quinta Shiva is a homestead with permaculture principles, 7km from the Évora historical centre (Unesco World Heritage site). Our vision is to connect people while regenerating the land and offering a place for transformation. Our retreats are organised within the authentic farm environment with animals and the family around, offering you a space to let go off unnecessary and deepen your journey to inside.
