David Edmund Moody

David Edmund Moody was the first teacher hired at Oak Grove School in Ojai, California when it opened its doors in 1975. Oak Grove was the last of the eight schools founded by J. Krishnamurti, and is the only one of his schools in the United States. In 1980, Krishnamurti appointed him Educational Director and subsequently Director of the school, the position he held at the time of Krishnamurti’s death. During his years at Oak Grove, Moody worked closely with both Krishnamurti and theoretical physicist David Bohm. Moody took his Ph.D. in Education from UCLA, where his doctoral research focused on the role of insight in overcoming student misconceptions in the sciences. He is the author of numerous articles in popular and professional journals on topics in science and education, and he is a regular contributor to Huffington Post. His most recent book is An Uncommon Collaboration: David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti (Fohat Productions, 2016).
