About the event

Don't think the garden loses its ecstasy in Winter. It's quiet, but the roots are down there riotous. - Rumi


Winter Medicine Women

the season of the invisible work 


In this season, the most important growth is invisible.

This circle is a space to return to our winter medicine.

The deep rooting, the gathering of life force, the remembering of our worthiness without performance, productivity, or proof.


We turn away from the pressure to produce outwardly, to be seen achieving.

Instead we practice the sacred, powerful act of nourishing from within.

We descend into the warm center of ourselves: the animal body, primordial intuition, and feminine wisdom.


Winter Medicine Women are powerful.

We trust the unseen rhythms of our true nature.

Forces of Nature Women’s Circle is a workshop where we journey through 5Rhythms® dance movement meditation and creative exploration. Brings snacks and drinks to share for the community connection time toward the end.


This is a calling. 

A return to the wild, instinctual power that’s been living inside us all along. 


Right beneath the noises of culture, the weight of “shoulds”, the tight cages of expectations - we are our own force of nature.


What if we could simply be with one another without having to perform, prove, and pretend? What if, instead of competing or comparing, we let our presence become the sweet, fierce, healing medicine we each need?

This is a space for all women. All colors, all shapes, all stories are welcomed here.​

Do we dare to admit: we actually need each other to be truly free? 

Freedom is sweeter when we share it.

✨ This workshop qualifies three (3) prerequisite hours towards the 5Rhythms® Teacher Training path. Facilitators:

Qibei is a 5Rhythms® teacher, holistic healer, and Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) - though boxes like these never quite hold her. She moves between worlds: the clinical and the mystical, the tender and the fierce, the silent knowing of the bones and the unspeakable beauty of Spirit cracking open.


Born from early rupture and shaped by longing, she’s spent her life listening, deeply, to what aches, what awakens, and what wants to come alive. Dance, for her, is not performance. It’s prayer, medicine, and creative laboratory. Her work invites people out of numbness and into their own raw aliveness: the place where everything dances, where the wild heart remembers itself. 

She believes embodied presence is what makes life juicy and magical. The sacred art of coming home to ourselves, through breath, movement, and the primordial intelligence pulsing through our veins.  In her movement classes, Qibei creates a trauma-sensitive, inclusive place for all bodies, inviting the dynamic emergence of real human and beyond-human interplay. 


Jennifer is an artist and a healing arts practitioner with a background that spans Expressive Arts Facilitation, Shamanism, and Energy Healing.  She is passionate about calling upon creativity, intuition and embodiment as powerful allies for navigating our unique journeys.  She considers herself a mystic and is deeply inspired by nature, the body, and the transformative power of art-making. She draws upon her 20 years of practice as a healing arts practitioner and artist to cultivate a compassionate, sacred, inclusive, and collaborative space for deep exploration and self-discovery.
