About the Authors

Joyce and River live in Missouri, where they are active in teaching and networking on both the local and national level. They are frequently interviewed about Paganism for television, radio, newspapers and magazines. They appear as guest speakers at universities, high schools, and Christian churches.

Joyce and River are the authors of Paganism: An Introduction to Earth-Centered Religions, and Pagan Spirituality: A Guide to Personal Transformation, both published by Llewellyn.

Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) has adopted their introductory book as a text for an adult religious education course on earth religions. Several universities use their writings as text or required reading for both graduate and undergraduate religious studies classes.

Joyce and River helped found the Council for Alternative Spiritual Traditions (CAST), which hosted public Pagan events in the Midwest, including the region’s largest free festival, the St. Louis Pagan Picnic. The Picnic continues to attract more than 2,000 each year.

River and Joyce also are annual participants in Diana’s Grove Mystery School, a program for spiritual, personal and leadership development.

River and Joyce also offer worshops and lectures. For more information, see the list of topics available.
