MAGMA
An invitation to authenticity
May 21th - May 26th, 2025
Stromboli, Italy
Are you ready to ignite your fire within?
Join an intimate group of people and four members of the El Juego community and experience collective Playing on the volcanic island of Stromboli, Italy.
In retreat, we will invite you to explore with radical authenticity so to reimagine our way of thinking, feeling and seeing the world. We will unlock the wisdom hidden in our wounds and rediscover the strength in vulnerability, using the group as a mirror and container of our personal process and collective transformation.
We will explore how the mind, emotions, needs, and body interact with the natural elements, nurtured by the power of the active volcano of Stromboli. We will be ignited by the fire of the lava, caressed by the winds and waters of the Mediterranean Sea, and held by the fertile mineral earth of the island. We will be playing in various locations around the Island, including the cave of Eolo, the Greek God of the Wind.
ABOUT EL JUEGO
We are an international community based in Colombia. We are passionate about human consciousness and we live in constant exploration of ourselves and our relationships.
Based on our own experiences, we develop innovative methods to change the internal structures that prevent us from living fully – we call this Playing. We travel the world Playing – so far, we have accompanied over 3,000 people in their process of personal and collective growth.

PROGRAMME
Check in at Geo
Rest, Walk around Stromboli, and evening opening ritual.
How do you think? Where does your way of thinking come from? Who is thinking?
We invite you to discover yourself trough the doubt. We will disturb our own believes in order to explore the freedom of thought.
Sadness, anger, fear, and joy have a message for you.
These emotions will be our guides. Through them, we will travel to the moments that have limited us and open ourselves to new possibilities of experimenting life.
What is to need? What do you need?
We will explore how to recognize what we need, and communicate with others authentically.
The body is wise – it expresses what we do not express.
On this day, we will hike the Volcano. We are going to focus on observing and listening to the body. We will explore what pains are stored and how they can be released. This final day will allow the body to just be.
