Forces Of Nature Women's Daylong

Jan 10, 2026

Berkeley Alembic

At the threshold of a new year, we gather for a vision quest in community,

as women who carry ancient ways of remembering. 

​

Guided by the elements: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, and Spirit, we turn to the wild, cyclical knowing that dances under the surface of our lives.​ As part of the ritual, we’ll co-create a collective elemental mandala, a landscape of our prayers, a vessel of reciprocity, and a mirror of the community holding each person’s vision.
 

We begin the year rooted and restored.

We begin attuned and aligned.

We begin in reciprocal relationships.

We begin together.
 

Forces of Nature Women’s Circle is a 5Rhythms® 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.

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.
