In-Person and Online: Turning Back to Ourselves – A Retreat for Women

with Dalya Tamir

Saturday, June 28th, 2025 | 10:00am – 5:00pm ET

In-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street, 12th Floor

We often forget that we are worthy of love. We fall into patterns of judging and doubting ourselves, forgetting our innate goodness and our sense of belonging. None of us want to abandon ourselves in these ways, but as a result of messages we received throughout our lives, and due to the structures of the society we live in, we may find ourselves lost and far away from a deep and true way we once knew. Some of us may never have known that authentic self.

Additionally, many women describe feeling over-extended, chronically depressed, or highly anxious. Others feel angry, agitated, or restless and cannot find a peaceful place within themselves. Some feel trapped, believing that the unfulfilling life they are living is the only life they could ever live.

The path of Turning Back to Ourselves offers a way to heal the pain of self-abandonment and guides us back to reclaiming our aliveness, joy, and ease with ourselves.

Over the course of this daylong retreat, we’ll touch upon these themes and explore the ways Buddhist teachings can support us in returning to our wise and compassionate self. With guidance from teacher Dalya Tamir, we’ll set an intention to no longer abandon ourselves and will apply mindfulness, self-compassion, and loving-kindness to move toward a wholesome relationship with ourselves. Our time together will include periods of silent meditation, as well as time for reflection and sharing.

This retreat offers teachings that lift up women’s journeys of awakening. We welcome all who identify as women, as well as non-binary folks who feel nourished in spaces centering women. 

We also invite you to learn more about Dalya’s course starting on July 10: Coming Home to Ourselves – A Four-Week Course for Women.
