With a degree in East Asian Studies from Princeton University, Brown lived for many years in Japan, where she was Associate Director of the International Division of the Institute for Religion and Psychology in Tokyo.

A graduate of the first Foundations Course of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care, Brown served as a volunteer Chaplain at Beth Israel Medical Center and is a founding member of the Center’s board.
