Paul Condon is an associate professor of psychology at Southern Oregon University. His writing and teaching explore the use of diverse scientific theories in dialogue with contemplative traditions to inform contemplative training in compassion, mindfulness, and wisdom. He teaches meditations adapted from the Tibetan Nyingma and Kagyu traditions for multi-faith and secular application. His academic research also examines the relational basis for empathy, compassion, well-being, and prosocial action, and the influence of compassion and mindfulness training on those capacities.
