About Jessica Weaver

Founder of The Shanti Space Holistic Retreat Centre in Portugal, Jessica began exploring yoga and meditation over  20 years ago and now with over 850 hours' teacher training in Yoga, Meditation and Qi Gong; embodied spiritual practice is an essential part of her life journey.

In 2011 she bowed out of the corporate world seeking inspiration she travelled the world to deepen her practice, explore cultures and ways to bring depth and expansion to her creativity and life view.

These days much of her life is occupied by tending to the sanctuary and creatures at her centre, creating music with her husband and holding gatherings for her local community in Portugal.

She brings a grounded approach, fluid and intuitive inviting greater awareness to the teachings of the breath, self-resourcing and resilience to enable the nervous system to rekindle trapped energy and flow.

She’s actively participating in anti-racism work, unlearning toxic feminism, patriarchy and internal biases everyday.

She draws upon ancient practices along with modern somatics to support a grounded and embodied approach to spirituality.

My greatest teacher has been my intuition.

I share my deepest gratitude to all the teachers I’ve trained with along with my Earth Mother Eglee, Nagual Lujan Matus, Wise Woman Rebecca Wilson, Intimacy Coach John Wineland, Transpersonal Psychotherapist & Yoga Therapist Lisa Sanfillipo, Red School Founders Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer & Alexandra Pope

Authors of every book that has inspired me & gave me great company

Those beings who’ve shared their path with me a while offering their care, insight & loving guidance.
