Sunday Celebration Guest Speaker and Workshop Facilitator – Ester Nicholson

Are you tired of reacting to life in ways that leave you feeling powerless?
Do you find yourself overreacting to minor stressors, shutting down emotionally, numbing out with distractions, or spiraling into anxiety or withdrawal—even when the situation doesn’t seem to warrant such a response? Maybe you second-guess yourself in relationships, shrink back in your career, or feel paralyzed by a deep sense of shame or the belief that you’re simply not enough. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—and more importantly, you’re not broken.

It’s time to reclaim your power and rewrite your inner narrative.
In The Healing Code of Forgiveness: Freedom From Shame and Trauma, you’ll be guided by internationally renowned spiritual teacher and trauma recovery expert Ester Nicholson, whose groundbreaking work has transformed the lives of thousands. As a former vocalist for Bette Midler and Rod Stewart turned recovery coach and Agape International licensed practitioner, Ester brings a powerful blend of real-world wisdom and spiritual depth. Her workshop goes beyond surface-level healing to address the deep, often hidden emotional wounds that keep us looping in self-sabotage and stuck patterns.

Step into a life of freedom, confidence, and self-compassion.
This is your invitation to break the cycle of shame, silence the inner critic, and step into a life where peace, joy, and confidence are not just possible—but inevitable. Through Ester’s compassionate guidance, storytelling, music, and interactive exercises, you’ll experience a shift that’s both spiritual and deeply personal. This is more than a workshop; it’s a rite of passage back to your truest self.

In this transformational workshop, you will:

• Discover the hidden core wounds that keep you in patterns of fear, self-sabotage, and emotional reactivity
• Learn the Soul Recovery method to release toxic shame and reclaim your self-worth
• Experience the healing power of forgiveness—of yourself, others, and life itself
• Rewire your response to stress, rejection, and criticism with grounded spiritual tools
• Walk away with practical practices to anchor your healing journey long after the event ends
