Dear Editor and Community,
It is in the spirit of positive growth, stimulation and friendship that I have worked with many other islanders over recent months to create an event we are calling the Howe Sound & Spirit Festival.
The festival, which will take place on Bowen in mid-August will have guests from the mainlaind (including Adham Shaikh, the award winning World Fusion artist, and Violin-DJ Michael Fraser) as well as the participation of many local buisness owners and wellness practicioners.
The event aims to open Bowen up to the mainland, to rebrand youth pop-culture to social responsibility, and bring the community together for skills-sharing, healing, and a celebration of life.
This event will also be a fundraiser for the Bowen-based non-profit, the Neurological Wellness Association.
Currently we are in the permit-application stage with the local council, the event is pending approval. To support this cause, your welcome to email them at info@howesoundspiritfestival.ca or visit their website to register a workshop, performance, artwork or vendorship.
Sincerely,
Jan Joubert
