The Embodied Jewish Woman – The Circle

Rena- The embodied jewish women- the circle- web landscape

For graduates of B’Etzem Facilitator Training — this is your next step.

You’ve already done the deep work of learning to listen to your body, regulate your nervous system, and meet yourself with compassion. Now it’s time to take that foundation and keep growing — in community, in practice, and in depth.

The Circle is a monthly space for lasting change through:

Ongoing mind-body practice
Deep self-connection
The support and accountability of like-minded women walking the same path

This space is where your skills expand, your insights integrate, and your inner safety becomes more and more embodied.

“There’s an untapped potential. A feminine, intuitive, compassionate side of yourself waiting to emerge.” Rena Reiser (That’s me 😉)

It’s the first time in my life that I’m nurturing myself from a place of love and compassion. Now I actually want to help and take care of myself and take care of my body. In the past the other powers were much stronger and there was so much resistance… Thanks so much for all your help, with tuning into my needs, and tuning-in, in general. It’s just amazing.

Here’s what your month in The Circle looks like:

Our Weekly Gathering

A mindful, compassionate container for embodied healing, integration, and growth, kept intentionally small so every woman is truly seen and heard.

Each Wednesday we gather on Zoom for a rich, structured session:

Learning together – We open with a short Torah source (currently Yonati B’Chagvei Haselah by Rebbetzin Yitty Neustadt) and explore its relevance to our inner work.
Community dialogue – A facilitated group discussion deepens connection and sparks new insights.
Partner Focusing practice – Breakout rooms for advanced Focusing give you space to integrate and apply what you’ve learned.
Private 1:1 or 2:1 time with Rena – Each week, one or two women meet with me in a private breakout room, taking turns for focused, supportive sessions, while the rest of the group continues partner practice.

Monthly rhythm includes:

Weekly live Zoom gatherings on Wednesdays, 9:45 am – 12:00 pm NY / 4:45 pm – 7:00 pm Israel
Regular partner practice — our intention is to include it every week, though occasionally the group chooses to remain in full-circle discussion instead.
Opportunities for private 1:1 or 2:1 time with me
A small, committed group of B’Etzem graduates for depth and safety

I’d love to answer your questions

Is this group therapy?

No. This is not group therapy. I offer therapeutic tools in this community, but you are responsible for your own health and wellbeing.

This is a totally new world for me; is that ok?

The Circle is open only to women proficient in the Focusing technique. You can learn Focusing from me 1:1 or in my training program B’Etzem. If you’ve learned elsewhere, please reach out so we can see if your skills are a match.

Are the gatherings recorded?

No — this is a live, real-time space to protect privacy and encourage full presence.

How small is “small”?

The Circle is capped at 8 participants so the space stays intimate and everyone has the chance to be seen, heard, and supported.

Can I try it out first / get a refund if I don't like it?

No, I don’t offer refunds. The Circle is month-to-month, so you’re only committing for one month at a time. If you’re unsure whether it’s right for you, contact me before joining and we can explore if it’s a fit.

What if I can’t make every session?

Life happens — while regular attendance is where you’ll get the most benefit, you’re welcome to join when you can. Because we don’t record sessions, any missed time can’t be “made up,” but the work continues each week so you can step back in.

What if I want more 1:1 time with you?

The Circle includes regular opportunities for private 1:1 or 2:1 sessions during our weekly gatherings. If you’d like more, you’re welcome to book additional private sessions separately.

Today was amazing, Rena. You are such an all encompassing, open, non judgmental person, that everyone can just come on and feel your energy and feel comfortable, and already open up to such vulnerable states. Everything about today was just so beautiful; it was exactly what I needed for my growth today, so I’m really grateful for that.

Thank you so much for today… I’m so happy that I came on, didn’t overthink it, even though I had a pretty busy day. It felt extremely safe. I feel that you provide a lot of safety and no judgment, and a lot of compassion. Bringing that forth just eases everyone into the group and allows everyone to share. There’s no right or wrong. Everything is just how it is supposed to be, without measuring up to someone else. It was really beautiful!

I have found todays retreat deeply nourishing and enjoyable.
Thinking back to this morning, it is a miracle of souls that women who have never met can connect in such a deep way and give so much to each other.
It is also a master that can create an almost tangible cocoon of security that can foster and cultivate such expression….and so quickly.
It was a retreat for the body, mind and soul where all three were connected and could then connect deeply to other Jewish women.
It felt like a trip to myself, where there was an expanse laid out before me to flex rusty parts that were dormant or almost unknown.
I felt like I tasted the way I would want to live! In tune, connected and a dance for the chorus!
I feel grateful to Hashem, to you and to myself for this gift I received this morning. The dancing is truly transformational.

Thank you for a deeply meaningful yet fun and refreshing retreat. It was lovely spending a day with like-minded women that are open to meeting and sharing from their inner worlds. We cried, we laughed, we danced, we discovered and even enjoyed an especially delicious lunch together. Still integrating the insights gained. Thanks for the rare opportunity!

Working with Rena in her Circle has been a very special privilege for me. One highlight of the monthly program was the Retreat. Rena masterfully crafted a cocoon, a safe space for all of us women to openly share with each other, and the experience was amazing. With Rena’s gentle guidance, encouragement and support, I came to tremendous insights and new understandings of my personality and nature, things I was confused about for years already. Over the course of the Retreat I had several eye opening moments. Often, in life, we have an aha moment and then it fades away with seemingly no lasting effect – however I can definitely say that I have seen clear effects every single day since the Retreat. And over time, as I integrate these new perspectives, things are starting to shift BH. Thank you Rena, for facilitating such change in a compassionate way, and helping me move forward towards self acceptance and growth.
