Kenosee Lake was the setting for the area's first-ever Soul Feast, Thursday, Aug. 3 and Friday, Aug.4.
Organizer and healing guide Tami Dovell says the two-day event was designed to feature “like-minded vendors and businesses gathering together in nature to enhance well-being on every level.”
Healing sessions and sample sessions featured a variety of alternative practioners, among them, healers, psychics, tarot card readers and others; while on-site classes included meditation painting, yoga, laughter yoga, group healings, Qui Gong, and more.
“Everyone here - the healers, the vendors, the practitioners and the speakers - are people I personally selected for Soul Feast,” says Dovell. “I know them all and they all have such beautiful gifts to offer to the world. That's why I'm hoping to make Soul Feast an annual event.”
Scheduled speakers included Dovell herself, who spoke about anxiety and depression.
“I struggled for years emotionally with severe anxiety and depression,” she says. “I pretended to be happy all of the time and as a result, I neglected what was really happening on the inside.”
“What ultimately helped me was meeting the right teacher and that's what started me on this path,” explains Dovell. “That's why I feel so strongly about helping people find the healer or practice that's right for them.”
“If you can love the gift of who you are, that's the path to self-love.”
“We're trying to build a community of like-minded businesses, healers and souls who will share their gifts with the world,” says Dovell. “Because my mission is to help people find the best version of who they are.”
