HESTER VAN HOOVEN WARD

This Sunday, August 31st, 2025
At 10:00 AM

Hear HESTER'S live, inspirational talk:

"The Sovereign Heart: Raising Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People"

Hester is an initiate devoted to Goddess Archetypal work through the 13 Moon Mystery School, a student of the teachings of the 13 Original Clan Mothers and a certified Reiki Master as well as Master Practitioner of Shamanic Reiki. Hester is also a certified Subconscious Freedom Coach. Through both formal training and lived experience, she is honored to serve as a guide for others to uncover their own innate capacity for healing.

Her path has been shaped by powerful personal experiences, including living in rural Kenya and supporting young mothers who were survivors of sexual and domestic violence, serving as a court advocate for female foster youth abuse survivors, and more than a decade of working as a fitness instructor and health and wellness coach. She is also the co-founder and president of MMIP Raising Awareness, a non-profit dedicated to helping to the end the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People through lifting indigenous voices and spreading community awareness.

Hester walks in reverence for the sacred through self-love of mind, body and soul. As a Solar Priestess, she transmits Solar Codes—frequencies of remembrance, empowerment, and renewal—supporting others in embodying their radiance and aligning with their highest essence. Her approach weaves shadow work, self-care, healing, creative expression, bravery, compassion, and love into a cohesive path of empowerment. She believes true freedom lies in each person’s ability to connect to the ONEness within all things.

QUOTES

“All the power of the universe is with you.
Feel it, know it, and then
act as though it were true.”
~ Ernest Holmes, "The Science of Mind"

“As more of you become sovereign
and in charge of your own frequency,
those who do not want the new frequency here
will bring an opposite frequency
to create chaos, confusion, and polarity.
Divide and conquer — if you divide and conquer,
you own the people.
Allow the people choice, freedom,
and the ability to continuously
improve their lives,
and you cannot own them.”
~ Barbara Marciniak,
"Bringers of the Dawn, Chapter 8:
The Galactic Tidal Wave of Light"

“The purpose is to honor the Earth,
to protect the Earth,
to live in balance with the Earth.
The Earth is our mother,
we must take care of the Earth.”
~ John Trudell

SIGNS OF LOVE

Hello Beautiful People!

This month August we had a wonderful Art Retrospective of our beloved artist “Werner” with a reception on August 24th. You can still see the Art until August 31st.

Please go to the Facebook Event Page and get all the info and documentation about this Event when you click on "Discussion." it was a great success. Enjoy!

Also, I would like for you to enjoy this beautiful prayer:

LAKOTA PRAYER

Great Mystery,
teach me how to trust
my heart,
my mind,
my intuition,
my inner knowing,
the senses of my body,
the blessings of my spirit.
Teach me to trust these things
so that I may enter my Sacred Space
and love beyond my fear,
and thus Walk in Balance
with the passing of each glorious Sun.

Thank you so much, Beautiful People, this is truly a

Sign of LOVE!

With much LOVE and Blessings,

~ Karin

WEEKLY WISDOM

INSIGHTS FROM ERNEST HOLMES

This week's Wisdom is from:

THIS THING CALLED YOU

"How careful, then, you should be to guard your thoughts,
not only seeing to it that you keep them free
from doubt and fear
- accepting only the good -
but, equally, you should consciously repel
every thought which denies that good."
