Carla Golian at the ARPA International Film Festival

Carla Golian is an author, mystic, artist, and researcher whose work explores consciousness, spirituality, and the mysteries of human existence. Drawing on her lifelong interest in the mystical arts and her background in literature, film, and the performing arts, she creates stories and works that invite readers to explore the deeper dimensions of the human experience.

She is the author of The Icon, a mystery that weaves together historical, religious, and spiritual themes; Dreams of Love, her first published collection of poetry and short stories; and Atheros and Gertheryna, a fairytale-inspired story written for both adults and children that explores love, courage, and the importance of standing up for oneself. Her work also includes Fortune Journal, a Tarot-based guide created to encourage intuition, self-discovery, and the exploration of the higher self.

Golian's creative career extends beyond literature. She has worked as an actor, producer, and screenwriter, and her work in film has received recognition at international film festivals. In 2009, she won the Experimental Witch Film Competition associated with Paulo Coelho's The Witch of Portobello. Clips from her film were subsequently featured on CNN's The Spirit of Storytelling during an interview with Coelho.

Her current academic and spiritual work focuses on mystical research and the study of consciousness, spirituality, and energy, as well as the relationship between the seen and unseen dimensions of human experience. She is pursuing doctoral research in Mystical Research while continuing to write, create, and explore the intersection of spirituality, creativity, and personal transformation.

Through her books, art, and research, Carla Golian invites readers to look beyond the surface of ordinary experience and enter realms of mystery, wonder, consciousness, and spiritual discovery.
