Sue Brown
Sue has been practicing Insight Dialogue since 2006 and offering the practice online and in person since 2011. Over the years, she has included in her offerings many core Buddhist teachings, as she finds the relational nature of ID practice brings the teachings to life and enables fresh understanding. Sue has been co-leading a weekly online group for those with previous ID experience since 2011. She also co-created a racial awareness curriculum for white-identified people that is grounded in ID practice and continues to co-lead monthly practice groups for those who have participated in the course. Sue lives in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Awakening White Awareness: An Insight Dialogue and Race Equity ProgramJanuary 31 - March 26, 2026
Watch the Program Video and Hear from the Teachers This eight-week series for white-bodied people integrates the transformative Buddhist practice of Insight Dialogue (relational mindfulness) with anti-racism education.
