Crossroads in Motion — 6-Week 5Rhythms Series
Starts Thu, Feb 19 (6 consecutive Thursdays)
Crossroads are the moments life asks for a turn—and your body feels it.
Divorce (or the long aftershocks).
Health changes: diagnosis, recovery, uncertainty.
Life cycle shifts: grief, menopause, relocation, children leaving, aging parents.
The crossroads between life and work: burnout, boundaries, pressure, “something has to change.”
These moments aren’t only mental. They live in the nervous system: breath, sleep, posture, tension, decision fatigue. This series offers a regular, supportive practice to move what’s real—so you’re not carrying it alone.
We use the 5Rhythms as a simple, steady map:
Flowing (ground + arrive)
Staccato (choices + boundaries)
Chaos (release what’s gripping)
Lyrical (space + possibility)
Stillness (integration + next step)
You don’t have to have clarity before you come.
You don’t have to be “in shape” or “in a good mood.”
You just have to show up.
Thursdays: Feb 19, Feb 26, Mar 5, Mar 12, Mar 19, Mar 26

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 Women’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 toward the end.
✨We ask you to arrival in the studio early or on-time to support the group coherence.
✨ Registration is required. No drop ins. www.qibei.be/forcesofnature
✨ This is a substance-free, scent-free space.
