At the age of 21, a powerful turning point happened for Golden in 1971 while attending Humboldt State University in Northern California as she suddenly felt a calling to step-up and surrender her life to a larger vision and role for serving humanity. A powerful presence entered and revealed that it was time to make a significant change in how she was living and navigating her life. This sudden shift compelled her to explore what it means to be in a state of true surrender and in a greater measure of service.

Golden shares, “It was a peak moment at that time in my life when I was outside in a field at night watching the stars and suddenly entered into a powerful ritual that sent my body into a whirl much like a Sufi dancer”; twirling and spinning under the auspicious reign of cosmic forces emanating from the nighttime sky.

“With my arms extended and energy surging through my fingertips, earnestly I asked “Source” to take over the reigns as it felt like I was not where I really wanted to be in my current place in life. It felt like something was missing or that there was a greater mission for my life and in order to realize that larger vision, I had to let go of my own self-direction and truly surrender to a higher power.”

That was the beginning of more pivotal moments along the journey on the path of sacred living. Golden shares, “Still, to this day, I feel as though I am in that same space of unfolding and learning how to fully surrender and trust “Source” to direct and guide my process into the correct possibilities and the most effective way to share and express love on the planet.”

This calling for leadership and greater service from Golden comes in perfect alignment with the dire needs of the planet at this time. Allowing “Source” to be in control of her life activities and destiny, she is brought into fulfilling the role of leadership as co-founder of Sacred Living Institute.

In fulfilling her role of leadership with this vision, she considers herself to be one of the many voices that are being called forth for healing the planet. As she shares, “In this broader vision, as it is for many at this time, the question is: “How are we going to survive on this planet?”

It is a real concern, which is why there is a powerful calling for leaders, healers, teachers and stewards of the planet to come forth, bond together and create the weave of many talents to cause a powerful shift to occur.

That important shift begins by making changes in our own lives, through becoming more spiritually based by applying the sacred lifestyle disciplines such as meditation, yoga, healthy eating through better nutrition for the body, locally grown and harvested plants and herbs, sustainable farming, etc. the intention behind Sacred Living Institute as Golden shares and demonstrates. 

There are three important foundational qualities of sacred lifestyle that Golden would like to impart to the world through the Sacred Living Institute.

“There is a need for a more universal understanding of what love really means and through that understanding, there is hope to embody a greater quotient of “light” that naturally leads to a harmonious way of existing on the planet. Through embodying the true, authentic frequency and vibration of love, naturally, our efforts assist in providing the means to thrive and be in balance and in harmony with all of life.”

Sacred Living Institute is a portal designed for bringing positive change to the planet while empowering the many voices that are being called and prompted to share. “I’m excited to birth this vision as the leader and co-founder of an amazing instrument for creating more love, light and truth for our planet.”
