A GESTALT CIRCLE FOR WOMEN
The Witnessed Woman
For six Thursdays this winter, a small circle of women gather to be seen for who is underneath everything they carry.
THURSDAYS · 2 HOURS · JANUARY 14 TO FEBRUARY 18, 2027 · ON ZOOM · TEN SEATS
You are seen all day long.
You run the meeting and remember the permission slip. You answer the text at eleven at night because you are the one who answers. People see what you do, how well you do it, and how calm you look while doing it.
Almost no one sees what it costs. And if you are honest, you have become very good at making sure they don't.
Being seen is about what you do. Being witnessed is about who you are while you do it.
Something happens when other woman watch you feel what you have been holding, and she does not rush to fix it, advise you, or make it lighter. Your body learns, maybe for the first time in years, that it can set something down without the room falling apart.
No book teaches that. It happens among people and the right conditions, in real time, which is why this is a circle and not a course.
INSIDE THE CIRCLE
What happens in the room
Each Thursday we meet for two hours on Zoom. The shape stays the same so the work inside it can go deep.
01
Arrive
We land in our bodies and check in with what is actually here today, beneath the to do list.
02
Work
Two women each session do individual Gestalt work with me while the circle holds the space.
03
Witness
The others share what moved in them. Often, someone else's work is exactly where your own begins.
04
Integrate
We close with what each woman is taking with her, so nothing is left open as you go back to your day.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
The right circle at the right time
This circle is for you if ...
You hold a lot for other people and rarely have a place to set it down
You have done plenty of thinking about your life and want to feel it instead
You are curious what might open if you stopped performing being fine
You can commit to six Thursday mornings from a private space
This may not be right if ...
You are in an acute crisis and need clinical or therapeutic care first
You are looking for tips, frameworks, or a productivity system
The dates will mean missing more than one of the six sessions
You would rather observe than be a participant in the weekly circle
IN THEIR WORDS
What women say about being witnessed
"There is something powerful about having another woman hold space for you without needing to fix or change anything. I walked away feeling lighter, more connected, and more like myself."
Heather, VP of SALES
"I didn't have to explain myself, hold it together, or continue the facade. To be witnessed without judgment was something I didn't realize I needed so deeply."
Kelsey, ENtrepreneur
"For the first time in a long time, I felt truly seen. Not for what I do for everyone else, but for who I am. There was something incredibly freeing about that."
Jenn, stay at home mom

HOW TO JOIN
Three gentle steps
A circle like this only works when every woman in it is ready for it, so joining is a conversation before it is a purchase.
01
Apply
A few short questions about what is drawing you here. It takes about five minutes.
02
Talk with Renee
A 20 minute Zoom conversation, so you can feel what it is like to be met here and we can both sense the fit.
03
Claim your seat
If it is a yes for both of us, you will receive a link to reserve your place. Seats are held in the order they are claimed.
Your guide, Renee Metty
For more than twenty five years I have sat with people at the edge of what they usually keep to themselves: senior leaders in Fortune 100 boardrooms, founders, parents, and women in circles much like this one.
Most of us already know what we need. What we are missing is a room where it is safe enough to feel it out loud.
My work brings together Gestalt coaching, somatic practice, and a deep respect for the wisdom of the body, so that what you discover here lives in you, not just in your notes.

A NOTE FROM RENEE
Before you apply
Do I need any experience with Gestalt?
None at all. Gestalt is simply a way of working with what is happening right now, in your body and between people. I will guide every step, and you will understand it best by experiencing it.
Is this therapy?
This is a coaching circle, not therapy. We work in the present with what is alive for you, and it can be deeply healing. If you are in crisis or need clinical care, our conversation is a good place to talk about what kind of support would serve you best.
Will I have to share things I am not ready to share?
Never. One of our circle agreements is that you choose your level of participation, and "pass" is always welcome. Many women find that simply witnessing others is where their own work quietly begins.
What if I miss a session?
Life happens, and you can let me know ahead of time. Because the circle builds trust week by week, we ask that you plan to attend all six. Sessions are not recorded, to protect what is shared.
Why is the circle so small?
So that each woman has room to do her own work and to be truly known by the others. With up to ten women, everyone is witnessed and no one gets lost.
THE WITNESSED WOMAN
There is more available to you than holding it all together.
If something in you leaned forward while reading this, trust it. The first step is simply telling me a little about yourself.
