“Goldenwood has challenged me to expand my view of God to be bigger than it previously was and it helped solidify that importance of community and doing life/work with others, when responding to God's calling.” - Crystal C.

“Through contemplative community that repeatedly and steadily centers its gaze on me and my journey, Goldenwood has profoundly helped me to discern and steward my deepest and truest self, fostered the courage I've needed to bring forth that self and integrate it into my hopes and ambitions, and provided guidance and connections to birth some of my best and most loving work into the world.” - Jamison G.
