In the series of maps that comprise the dancing path of the 5Rhythms®, God, Sex and the Body is an initiation into being an embodied soul. It is a deeply personal journey, a celebration like no other, a ritual for the hot and holy you.
⠀⠀⠀ This journey is a call to stretch our imaginations with a long forgotten innocence and move through a spectrum of feminine and masculine archetypes, to dress them up, get inside them and give them expression. No one else can be exactly like you. No one else can embody your soul, or project your magic or have your specific curiosity. Part lover, part artist, part god, we were born to rock the world and feel our way into each other’s hearts. ⠀⠀⠀ Grounded in the 5Rhythms movement practice, this experience can liberate and inspire us to emerge a bit more fascinated with each other and the mystery of it all. This is the map of the soul. |
God, Sex & the Body
5 day residential, Hungary 25-29 July, 2023 - The Village retreat · Bedepuszta We will dance together in a unique retreat location - a small village located in a high valley at the end of a dead-end road in the Hungarian Carpathian mountains. The location offers plenty of space to be in solitude or in community and to explore the spectrum of archetypes on and off the dancefloor... About the village Bedepuszta is an authentic village that has been transformed into a unique retreat location, surrounded by hills and valleys with fields, vanished hamlets, meadows and vast forests. It’s a place to relax, replenish and gather in community. ⠀⠀⠀ The old village houses and farms that have been lovingly restored serve as one-of-a-kind accommodation with antique furniture and secret little gardens. ⠀⠀⠀ Besides the beautiful landscape and the original flair of the village, the retreat space offers many shared places: a big community room for yoga/resting/writing, a garden with fruit trees and hammocks, a large wooden pavilion for outdoor eating, a wellness garden with sauna and hot tub, a swimming pool with sun terrace, a bar (Yonderbar) serving snacks and refreshments, as well as several terraces with views over the valley. We'll be served delicious, seasonal, regional vegetarian food with vegan and occasional meaty options. Special dietary needs can be catered to upon request.

For me the workshop was very deep and beautiful, wild and loving. I felt so safe in Alex's teachings, the way she holds the space, her absolute humble, generous and allowing charisma made me feel safe to dare to explore and express what was alive in me right here and now. - Tanya
For me it was like entering a dangerous but exotic jungle where I was both mesmerised and scared in equal measure. Everything felt new but instinctively right and I'm thrilled to have discovered the archetypes body of work. - Nina, UK The container was held with such tenderness and direction as well as firm boundaries and clear communication. This was a wonderful gift to rearrange and expand my inner landscape. I feel the richness of those teachings and insights vibrating in my Being. - Albrecht, Canada I’m so grateful that I could be here curiously exploring hidden and strange parts of myself openly and in sacredness. - Amy May, US The most fun I've ever had on the dance floor. - Jean, UK |
My creative self always led the way, finding relief and freedom when dancing and drawing - and although the body is my medium, using imagination and sculpting the mysterious have always attracted me just as much. I want it all - no divide between spirit and flesh, between the masculine and feminine within.. the lover to have desire and find beauty in many moments, the seeker to naturally connect to inspiration and devotion, the artist to design and take care of a life full of these riches.
I danced God, Sex and the Body with Gabrielle many times and have danced and co-taught with Jonathan in 2017-18, finding new energy, questions and treasure each time. . I’m so delighted and grateful to be teaching it myself, and a workshop with a built in party has to be perfect for me!
For 25 years I've witnessed Alex Mackay as a dedicated embodiment of all the maps of our 5Rhythms mandala. In her committed practice, a willingness to continue moving, exploring and seeing herself through the deep awareness of her own rhythms. In her teaching, a lyrical playfulness delivered with mystery, creativity, and maturity.
The more we co-created along her path studying our God, Sex, & the Body maps, the deeper my respect has grown for Alex's embodied presence of the shapeshifter -- a soul dancing without attachment and with intention to unearth the uniqueness and balance of nurture and action, of fascination and adventure, of intuition and integrity.
