Donna Strickland has practiced Insight Meditation since 2004, when she joined Show Me Dharma in Columbia, Missouri. She feels deep appreciation for the many teachers she has learned from over the years, especially Phil Jones, Ginny Morgan, and Gloria Taraniya Ambrosia. She began teaching, under the mentorship of Phil Jones, in 2011, first at Phil’s Silent Mind-Open Heart sangha, and later at Show Me Dharma. She has also practiced Insight Dialogue since 2006, and has facilitated a number of Insight Dialogue classes since 2011.
She was formally recognized by the Insight Dialogue community as a teacher in 2024. Gregory Kramer, Gary Steinberg, and Mary Burns have been important ID mentors and teachers.
She also served on the Board of Mid America Dharma from 2008-2020. A former English professor and a current psychotherapist, Donna understands relationality and care to be key supports in awakening.
