OUR KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
In Loving Memory of Deva Magna
Neo-Reichian Breath & Bodywork
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Magna Davide Rasulo in October 2026. Magna was to join us as a keynote speaker at the 33rd Global Inspirational Conference in Tuscany.
For more than 25 years, Magna dedicated himself to exploring the relationship between breath, body, and emotional awareness. Trained in Neo-Reichian Breath & Bodywork with Aneesha L. Dillon in 2001, he went on to become the director and trainer of the Italian Osho Pulsation Breath & Bodywork programme.
His approach was influenced by the work of Peter Levine, David Boadella, and Eugene Gendlin, with a particular interest in the body’s relationship to trauma, early conditioning, and emotional experience.
A sannyasin since 1996, Magna brought passion, curiosity, and intensity to his work. He described his approach as riding “the waves of vital energy” through the depths and delights of human experience.
Magna passed away while sharing his teachings, doing the work to which he had devoted so much of his life.
Although he will no longer be with us in person at GIC 2027, we honour his contribution to the breathwork community and the spirit of exploration, connection, and transformation that he embodied. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, students, and all who knew him.
His journey continues through the lives he touched, the wisdom he shared, and the breath of those who carry his work forward.
Fly high, beloved Magna.
