Mary Leigh Burke has been practicing for over 25 years, initially in the Yogananda tradition and later in Zen and Theravada traditions. After many years with a Zen community in Mountain View, CA, she began studying with Shaila Catherine and continued that work for three years until leaving the area for retirement.
After relocating to Corvallis, Oregon, she discovered a renewed interest in Zen practice through the local teacher and sangha, and has been studying and practicing as a senior student for the past few years. She teaches Insight Meditation at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis and serves as a volunteer editor for Insight Meditation South Bay.
Mary Leigh retired from a 30-year technical writing career in 2013, and is very happily devoting her life to the Dharma, hiking and swimming in the glorious forests and rivers of the Pacific Northwest, and growing veggies in her back yard.
