KENOSEE — Tami Dovell has a passion for holistic healing and care, and she just celebrated her tenth anniversary of Soul Feast. The event took place at the Kenosee Boys and Girls camp on July 26 and 27.
Dovell is a massage therapist, and she has travelled and learned many alternative holistic ways to approach the body and mind. She has never stopped learning and continues to offer retreats to help others.
This year, Dovell had 15 service vendors and 15 product vendors, eight workshops and eight free presentations. To celebrate the 10 years, she offered a floating sound bath in the heated pool and a cacao ceremony.
A floating sound bath has people lying on noodles in a heated pool and they get to experience the sound ripples through their body. They have crystal bowls, two gongs and chimes that sound and send a vibration to clear blockages, release tension and help heal the person.
This puts the person into a very deep state of relaxation. It helps ease the mind, body, and soul and leaves people in a peaceful state.
Dovell is always full of excitement and love for people. She loves to hear about the different experiences that visitors have that enhance their well-being, whether it is a peaceful feeling, a little reprieve from everyday life, or much-needed downtime.
It is always Dovell’s hope that Soul Feast brings peace to those who have pain or have a connection with old and new friends. “I get to witness it all,” said Dovell, and she is excited.
This event allows guests to consult with experts in various fields. It also gives people the chance to talk with like-minded people and share their stories and journeys.
Vendors came from all over Saskatchewan and some from Manitoba, too. All of them came to share their products and services in the Kenosee area.
Two hundred and seventy-seven people came through the gates. They could stay for an hour or linger for the whole day. Throughout the day, visitors could ask questions and even receive some of the services that were available.
“My heart is overflowing,” said Dovell. “I can honestly say that I hugged everyone who attended, and they all left with big smiles and exclaimed they will be back next year.”
Dovell loves bringing people together and building a community. The friendships made over these weekends last a lifetime and Dovell is eager to continue with her quest for holistic healing and care.
