A guided breathwork journey workshop with live music by DJ Nahuel, guided by Javi and Seba. Includes an online integration session the following Monday. 21+, beginners welcome. Early bird: $150 with code MBW-EARLY until two week before.
Magic Breathwork combines conscious breathing, body awareness, and mindfulness. We begin together in circle, introduce the practices, and guide you into a breathwork journey supported by music.
You’re invited to notice your body, explore emotions as they arise, and turn your attention inward. No previous breathwork experience is needed. We’ll explain the practices and support you throughout, with space to move at your own pace.
Magic can be found in sitting in circle with others, going inward with music and breath, and the optional support of plant medicines where permitted. Joining with breath and music alone is equally welcome.
The experience is supported by a live set by DJ Nahuel, who weaves ambient, electronic, and acoustic sounds into an immersive soundtrack for your inward journey.

Breathwork safety
Breathwork is very safe for most people, but it is intense and not for everyone. Fast, deep breathing can raise your heart rate and blood pressure, and bring tingling, cramping and strong emotion.
Please skip the breathwork if you have:
- High blood pressure that is not controlled with medication
- Heart disease, or a past heart attack
- An aneurysm, or more than one in your close family
- A history of stroke, seizures, epilepsy or TIAs
- Blood thinners
- Glaucoma or a detached retina
- Recent surgery, or an injury that has not healed
- Pregnancy
Asthma? You are welcome to breathe: keep your inhaler with you.
You can always join the journey with the music and a gentle breath instead. When in doubt, ask your doctor or write to us. Please also read our Journey safety guide.
