Description
OPEN
We learned how to be independent.
Nobody taught us how to stay open.
Many women discover that the very strengths that helped them build a life, raise a family, pursue a career, and carry responsibility are not always the strengths that help create closeness.
Join us for an honest and meaningful conversation about intimacy, vulnerability, emotional connection, and the art of making room for relationship.
Together, we will explore how we protect ourselves, why connection can feel difficult even when love is present, and what it means to remain open in a world that teaches us to be strong.
The art of making room for connection.

Rabbanit Hanita Hannah Akoka is an Israeli therapist, writer, and educator based in Manhattan.
For years, women have come to her seeking clarity, connection, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.
Drawing from Torah wisdom, Jewish psychology, Chassidut, CBT, and real-life experience, Hanita creates conversations that are both deeply meaningful and surprisingly practical.
Hebrew is her native language, and most of her teachings have traditionally been offered in Hebrew. She is now opening Women's Atelier gatherings to English-speaking women as well, bringing the same depth, warmth, and authenticity to a broader audience.
Women often leave with a new perspective, greater self-awareness, and tools they can immediately apply to their daily lives, relationships, and personal growth.
