Join Qibei Shen & Jen Lothrigel for NURTURE, a Residential Women’s Retreat happening at Westerbeke Ranch in Sonoma, CA Nov 13-15!

“I was looking for medicine in the circles, and I found it everywhere: the beautiful space, the gentle leaders, the music that beckoned me to literally move through all my feelings, the collage, poetry and rest, and the deep presence of the women who shared the journey together. It was all kinds of magic.” ~ Olivia S.

Are you ready to Restore – Regenerate – Reweave ?

Women have carried so much for so long.

We provide, hold, manage, and keep life moving. Often at the cost of our own vitality.

Many of us lose touch with the instinctual rhythms of the body and the deeper feminine intelligence that pulsates beneath all the doing.

We belong to something older, wilder, more creative, more generative.

The medicine of women gathering intentionally can wake us up into another way of being. We are meant to dance, to create, to laugh, to shape and reshape what needs changing, and so much more.

In this retreat, we’ll spend 2.5 days being nurtured at a charming woodsy ranch, with immersive dance journeys, art making, ritual, and heartfelt companionship woven throughout.

Share delicious meals prepared by artistic chefs, rest in cozy cottages, soak in the hot tub beneath the moon and stars, wander the magical labyrinth and gardens.

5Rhythms® dance, art making, nourishing meals, nature, rest, connection — welcome to your dream women’s retreat.

You don’t need to be a dancer, an artist, or anything but willing to receive for a change. Return to the village with us.

Born in Berkeley, Forces Of Nature Women’s Circle has become a womb-like space for many women to reconnect with their sensual bodies, innate aliveness, and untamed nature that is both wild and wise.

“It’s hard to put into words how to describe the experience Jen and Qibei create when together. They have a synchronicity, a love, a playful and true friendship rooted in deep trust, from that place they create containers for such magic, play, fun, connection and introspection. Through dance and art, imagination, safety and love welcome all who enter what they offer.” ~ Diana L.
