Deborah Ratner Helzer first took up Buddhist meditation to reduce stress while working on her engineering degree. She has studied with both western and Asian teachers, including a year as a Theravadin nun. She was mentored by senior teachers at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA, and has been sharing the dharma for over 20 years.
Her teaching style reflects the influence of the 20th-century Burmese master Mahasi Sayadaw and his emphasis on clear, non-judgmental awareness. Since becoming a mother, she has also been actively exploring practice within family life.
