Biographies:
Camille began her personal mindfulness practice in 2001 when one of her high school teachers gave her basic instructions and a copy of the book “Nothing Happens Next.” Now she pays it forward by sharing mindfulness with kids in her free time (her day job is in education research, having received a PhD in Education from Stanford in 2016). Camille has previously worked as Head of Research at Mindful Schools and as a classroom teacher. She lived and practiced for four years at San Francisco Zen Center.
Tim has been practicing Buddhism since 2007. Tim lived and practiced at San Francisco Zen Center for seven years, where he learned to give introductory meditation sessions and held various work-practice positions including work leader at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. He is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer (2009-2012, Eswatini), where he led various education groups with children and youth, and co-founded a mental health promotion organization that works both within schools and in the community at large.
