Forces of Nature Womxn’s Circle: 5Rhythms® Dance + Creative Exploration

🎟️ Get your ticket here: https://www.qibei.be/forcesofnature


This is a calling.

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

Beneath the noise of culture,

the weight of shoulds,

the tight cages of expectations -

You are your own force of nature.

Here, we move to remember and come alive.

To feel the earth rise and fall in our bones,

ocean waves crashing through our veins,

the wind whispering on our tongues.

Let your body speak its ancient dialect.

Let your heart roar, and taste its own nectar.

Let us encounter one another -

raw, real, fierce, tender, hilarious, fabulous -

in the sisterhood of becoming and belonging.

This is a space for all womxn, who hear the call.

All colors, all shapes, all stories welcomed here.

No prerequisites, no “right” way to be.

Toss away the need to perform, prove, and pretend.

Come as you are. Dress how you want. Move how you feel. Say fluck it and be free.


Forces of Nature Womxn’s Circle is a 3.5-hr workshop where we journey through 5Rhythms® dance movement meditation and creative exploration. Brings snacks and drinks to share for the community connection time after closing.


👣 We ask you to arrival in the studio early or on-time to support the group coherence.

🎟️ No drop ins.

🙏 This is a substance-free, scent-free space.

✨ 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.
