Join senior teacher and mentor Dav Jones for a transformative week of practice, reflection, and renewal at Bela Colina, a community-built sanctuary nestled in the forested hills of central Portugal. Once a sanatorium, Bela Colina now stands as a soulful retreat space overlooking Serra da Estrela National Park, where nature’s quiet power supports deep personal evolution.

This immersive retreat weaves together the five pillars of the A.W.A.R.E. Method™ – Align, Witness, Activate, Refine, and Evolve – inviting you to move, breathe, and reconnect with the intelligence of your body and the truth of your inner experience. Through a blend of yoga, mobility, breathwork, meditation, and reflective inquiry, you’ll explore what it means to build a sustainable, long-term practice that supports your daily life.

The space Davin creates is one of safety, honesty, and emotional depth – a place to move, feel, express, and be witnessed without judgment. Each day blends embodied practice, reflection, and integration – with time to rest, connect, and enjoy the beauty of the land. Expect functional yoga sessions, breathwork, group sharing, and space for emotional expression in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Outside the studio, you’ll be nourished by incredible food, mountain air, and community. The week also includes optional excursions, hikes, swimming, canyoning, or canoeing, offering both adventure and stillness.

Whether you’re part of Davin’s mentorship or joining independently, this retreat offers the chance to reconnect with your practice, your purpose, and your natural rhythm – all held within the quiet beauty and healing atmosphere of Bela Colina.
