Donna Strickland experienced a profound interpersonal transformation when she first encountered Insight Dialogue in 2006. Since 2011, she has shared this deeply heart-opening practice by leading a number of Insight Dialogue classes in Columbia, Missouri, where she is a member of the teachers’ council at Show Me Dharma. As a former English professor, Donna developed a relational “mindful writing” approach that she continues to share in workshops. Inspired by the power of dyadic practice, she changed careers and now has the privilege to work daily as a relational psychotherapist. She also serves on the Metta Foundation Board.
