Joan Diver presents When Spirit Calls
October 18, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeFrom Annie Bloom’s website:
Annie Bloom’s welcomes author, spiritual healer, and former “First Lady” of Reed College Joan Diver to present her book, When Spirit Calls: A Healing Odyssey.
When Spirit Calls is at once an adventure story and meditation on the healing journey that traces Joan Diver’s odyssey from Boston foundation executive to spiritual healer. Imbued with the wisdom of great spiritual teachers from both East and West, Joan Diver shares a remarkable journey through urban violence, family crisis, physical pain and spiritual awakening.
As Boston’s Hyams Foundation’s first executive director, Joan Diver was nationally recognized for her creative leadership. A student of diverse spiritual paths and speaker from the heart, Joan has since offered healing to seekers, led contemplative and healing church ministries and partnered with her husband, Colin, in his role as President of Reed College. Their urban story is chronicled in J. Anthony Lukas’ Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Common Ground: A Turbulent Decade in the lives of Three American Families. When Spirit Calls is Joan’s first book.
