Online: Coming Home to Ourselves – A Four-Week Course for Women

with Dalya Tamir

Thursdays, July 10th – 31st, 2025 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET

In conversations with women, we often hear statements like, “I can love everyone in my family but not myself,” or “No matter what I do I’m never enough.” Or simply, “I don’t feel like I belong anywhere.” These statements are the expression of self-abandonment, the mind states of self-judgment, self-doubt, and even self-hatred that are all too common in the minds and hearts of women in our society. How can Buddhist teachings support us in turning back to our innate goodness and taking our place in the world?

In this four-week online course we will explore different aspects of self-abandonment, and with the guidance of teacher Dalya Tamir, apply the Buddhist wisdom and practices to our journey back home to ourselves. Beginning with mindfulness and self-compassion we will establish a warm, caring, and gentle relationship with ourselves. We will get to know the voice of our inner judge and learn how to transform it with kindness and understanding. We will turn back to our bodies, embrace and celebrate them no matter what our size, shape, age, ability, or color of skin. We will learn to pause at moments of emotional reactivity and find our way back to balance.

As a community of women, we will create a safe environment to share our wisdom and our stories. Through talks, silent meditations, group conversations, and sharing in small breakout rooms we will support each other in taking steps back toward our wise and compassionate selves.

This course is based on Dalya’s book, Turning Back to Ourselves – A Women’s Guide to Healing Self-Abandonment and Loving Who We Are. Reading the book is encouraged to enrich your practice. Purchase of the book is not required.

There will be some slots available to meet one-on-one with Dalya for additional support.

We welcome all who identify as women, as well as non-binary folks who feel nourished in spaces centering women.
