At The Golden Water’s Edge™, we come to remember what it means to be human.
Through stories, prayers, and meditations, Barbara Wichman invites you to stand at the threshold between the sacred and the ordinary - the edge where light meets reflection, where truth shimmers quietly beneath the surface.
These are stories of real life - of the moments that bruise and break us, and the ones that lift us back into grace. They are reflections on selfishness and self-return, on disconnection and devotion, on what it means to lose yourself and then find your way home again.
You won’t find perfection here.
You’ll find presence.
You’ll find breath.
You’ll find yourself reflected in the waves.
Each episode is a slow offering - a story to stir the heart, a prayer to steady the soul, or a meditation to help you live awake in a world that forgets what matters.
Come to the water.
Sit for a while.
Stories. Prayers. Reflections.
The tide has turned.
Welcome home to The Golden Water’s Edge™.
