Hello and WELCOME!!!!
I’m Sharnelle the founder of Souls Unite, originally known as Soul Mates Dates.
For the past 17+ years, I've been a solopreneur, working primarily in photography capturing love between people from Weddings - Families - Business Branding. Over the last 6 years, I've deepened into the holistic space, offering Self-Love Embodiment + Branding Photography, Retreats, Reiki, Breathwork, Sound Healing, Coaching, and more.
In the past I had been a very shy gal in business. My lesson and growth is to put myself out there and continue grow with LOVE, learning to believe in myself deeper and deeper, bringing safety to the “imposter” within.
One of my gifts is connecting people who were meant to meet!
I also love helping those who wish to hold space find the confidence to share their magic with aligned individuals - naturally.
ABOUT SOULS UNITE
Souls Unite began in 2023 (originally known as Soul Mates Dates) as a small circle of facilitators gathering to receive, reconnect, and be held in a space where their own hearts could land. It offered a place to share honestly, honour the seasons of business and life, and feel supported by others walking a similar path.
In 2024, the space evolved opening its doors to the wider community and welcoming anyone seeking connection, self-discovery, and a judgment-free space to simply be. Souls Unite became a bridge between facilitators and soulful humans wanting to deepen their inner world while finding their people.
Today, Souls Unite is a warm, inclusive, cosy community where you can show up exactly as you are. It’s a place to explore new modalities, make meaningful connections, and expand your soul family in a way that feels safe, supportive, and heart-led.
It’s also a space that celebrates leadership, giving facilitators the opportunity to share their unique gifts, step into their power, and inspire others through their magic.
Souls Unite is more than a monthly gathering.
It’s a living, breathing community of humans choosing connection, authenticity, and growth... TOGETHER.
BECOME A 2026 FACILITATOR
So, here’s the deets, Souls Unite runs monthly (within the school term) on Thursdays, 12pm–1:30pm in Mount Maunganui.
A regular venue will host us which helps create a familiar, grounding sense of home.
Upon joining the team, you will old space once during the year, you can choose your month or have one drawn out of a hat at our January opening circle and your space at each event will be secured, with 10-12 additional spaces available to the public. This will broaden the circle and enhance connections.
This is an opportunity for you to safely explore more of what is possible in holding a group space while being supported by all the other facilitators who join the team - this is a space to show up, express, receive, and expand.
EVENT FLOW
To create regular consistency every event will flow into 3 parts:
1. Grounding via a breath + body connection exercise and a short space to introduce ourselves and share.
2.The facilitators space full of magic
3. Integration - a partnered conversation to either unpack their experience or a cued question - this is always encouraged to connect with someone new to help people expand their circles.
