Joan Diver

Joan Diver first came into the spotlight when featured in J. Anthony Lukas' Pulitzer Prize winning book, "Common Ground: A Turbulent Decade" in the lives of Three American Families—a chronicle of racial tensions over court-ordered school busing in Boston in the 1970s. She got her BA in government from Wheaton College in Norton, MA, courses in Holistic Spirituality Program, Chestnut Hill College, PA including Christian theology, Zen Buddhism, and the Gospels of Mark, John and Mary Magdalene. She has attended more than 20 weekend intensives and other courses based in the non-duality, scriptural traditions of Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism. She is now married to life partner Colin Diver and has two grown sons and four beautiful grandchildren.
