2026 Summer Retreat

5Days 5Rhythms Retreat with Alex Mackay

Assisted by Julia Mercurio

July 13/18
Ostuni Apulia, Italy

In the warm sun and summer breeze we take the time to renew, dance deeply and sink into the sounds of nature finding ourselves in the wild embrace of the dance, gathering resources and inspiration to share and to treasure in the time ahead. A lot of healing can be set into motion over 5 days dancing: shifts around grief, self acceptance, creative blocks, and being with the truth.

This retreat calls lovely groups from many countries, is small enough to make lasting friendships,
and spacious enough for rest, ceremony, solo reflection, and uplifting time together.

The Retreat is open to everybody no prerequisites required.
It count as 5day waves retreat for the Teacher Training admission.

Alex Mackay
I love my work. I live in beautiful West Wales but I'm lucky to also teach internationally. I'm the first teacher after Gabrielle Roth and Jonathan Horan to offer the archetypal workshop 'God, Sex & the Body'.
I enjoy mentoring people studying and offering the 5Rhythms maps at all the levels I teach.
My teaching is spacious and embodied, full of spirit, depth and creativity. I have a lot of energy and love to dance with the group.

Julia Mercurio
In my events I seek to create a safe space in which dancers can fully drop into their dancing exploration. My work as a teacher is infused by my love for soulful music, my experiences as being a woman in this world, many years of bodywork and somatic-psychotherapy, and more recently shamanic practice.
