She has taught as an adjunct professor at UC Berkeley as well as at Stanford University and California Institute of Integral Studies.

Having spent a year in a post-War Jewish home, her German heritage wasn't openly spoken of and she initially demonized Germans, but later made several trips to Germany (including to the Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp) to reconcile her Jewish and German heritages. Her biological family were of Irish, Scottish, Welsh and German ancestry. Following her father's death when she was 16, she bounced around the family but was eventually taken into the home and family of noted artist Morton Dimondstein. Griffin was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1943 and has resided in California since then.
