Donna Strickland has 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.

Insight Dialogue is one facet of her Insight
Meditation practice, which began in 2004 when she joined Show Me Dharma. 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.

Donna is a former English professor and a current psychotherapist, and she understands relationality and care to be key tools in awakening.
