Mary Aubry has been meditating in the insight tradition for over 30 years and teaching the dharma for 15 years.  She teaches retreats on insight, the jhānas, emptiness, and the brahmavihārās.  In addition, she has taught programs that support mindfully meeting aging, illness, and dying, as well as training meditation companions for the aging, ill, and dying and those who love and care for them.  Mary also offers meditative support to parents of deceased children, having lost her son to cancer in 2015.  Additionally, Mary is one of the facilitating teachers for Bhikkhu Anālayo’s online courses on Satipaṭṭhāna, Mindfulness of Breathing, and the Brahmavihārās and Emptiness offered by the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies.

Prior to becoming a full-time meditation teacher, Mary worked as a lawyer at the U.S. Justice Department for 24 years. Since retiring, she has rekindled a long-lost love of garment sewing and enjoys making clothes for herself and her family.
