Soulstice Collective Fall Market brings wellness, connection and community spirit to St. Marys

More than 50 holistic vendors will gather at the Soulstice Collective Fall Market, offering treatments and products to help attendees relax, recharge and prepare for the winter season.

With the changing of the seasons and the approach of winter, the Soulstice Collective Fall Market offers a space to pause and reconnect – to nourish body and spirit through local wellness, handcrafted goods and community energy.

The Soulstice Collective Fall Market returns to St. Marys Golf & Country Club (Hideaway Room) on Friday, Nov. 22, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., promising a day of wellness, creativity and community connection. Co-founders Samantha Thompson and Kate Warren first launched the market last spring after a single conversation about holistic healing turned into a movement.

“We started with an idea that felt too big to tackle alone,” said Thompson. “Six weeks later, the first market came together.”

That debut drew hundreds of visitors; this season, organizers expect more than double.

“It began as a way to connect people with local healers and makers,” said Warren. “Now, it’s also about helping small businesses thrive and collaborate.”

More than 50 vendors from the area will fill the space with everything from organic coffee, teas and skincare to Reiki, fascia stretch and homeopathic remedies. Visitors can sample, shop, or simply explore.

“There’s something for everyone,” said Thompson. “Whether you want a good cup of coffee or an introduction to energy healing, you’ll find a welcoming, pressure-free space.”

The first 100 guests will receive swag bags with local products and coupons. Families are encouraged to attend – there will be a children’s colouring contest, giveaways and donations collected for local charities.

Each vendor brings a unique perspective on wellness. Haley Bowler-Cooke, founder of Uplift Lifestyle Inc., says the market mirrors her mission.

“Anytime we gather in community with a shared vision of supporting and enhancing an economy of love and intention, we leave a positive impact,” she said. “The Soulstice Market aligns perfectly with that.”

For Christy Muddle of To Bean or Not to Bean Coffee Roasting Co., the market represents renewal.

“We haven’t done markets since before COVID,” she said. “Being surrounded by vendors who care about health, healing and intentional living – it’s an easy yes. We’ll have fresh-roasted coffee and community connection brewing all day.”

“The organizers, vendors and location will make for an enchanting day,” said Karen Hartwick, tea sommelier and owner of Stratford Tea Leaves. “I’ll be steeping healing herbs and teas, sharing knowledge as we sip and sample. It’s all about being intentional and finding calm in a cup.”

Rooted in the natural rhythm of the solstice, the fall market celebrates nourishment and restoration before winter’s arrival.

“As we head into the colder months, it’s about supporting ourselves – body, mind and spirit – with warmth and community,” Thompson said.

Visitors can expect cozy décor, thoughtful conversation and an atmosphere described by many as “warm, inviting and full of good energy.”

“We just want people to come, explore and feel inspired,” said Warren. “It’s free, family-friendly and built for everyone.”
