TIMOTHY AMBROSE DESMOND is a Distinguished Faculty Scholar at
Antioch University teaching professional psychology rooted in
self-compassion. He has lectured at Yale School of Medicine, and
taught mindfulness in all 50 states. After having grown up poor in
Boston with a single alcoholic mother and having been homeless as a
teenager, Desmond was exposed to the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh,
and eventually studied closely with Thich Nhat Hanh and his senior
monastics at Plum Village. In 2011, Desmond co-founded Morning Sun
Mindfulness Center, an intentional community and retreat center in
Alstead, NH.
When he isn't teaching, advising, or on retreat, Desmond is
organizing progressive political demonstrations, and was one of the
core organizers of Occupy Wall Street. Tim spent a night in jail
with Daniel Ellsberg during the anti-Iraq War demonstrations in San
Francisco
