KENOSEE - The recent Soul Feast, held at the heart of the Kenosee Boys and Girls camp on July 27 and 28, was a celebration of holistic healing and care.
This year's event featured an impressive lineup of 40 vendors, each offering unique products and services aimed at nurturing the mind, body and spirit.
Tami Dovell created the event in 2015. She has been in the healing business since 1994 when she became a massage therapist.
For the next 10 years, she has travelled and learned many alternative holistic approaches to mind and body healing.
Over the years, she has offered many retreats, but she also took classes and met many talented healers, deepening her own knowledge, and learned how to navigate her own way through depression, anxiety and anger.
Dovell’s inspiration for Soul Feast was to bring people together, building a community, as well as offering guests the opportunity to come and try some holistic alternatives to complement their healing journey.
