SHINE & KRISTALL’S STORY
We are the founders of UNITE.
Both having lost our fathers at a young age, to cancer and mental health challenges resulting in suicide, we saw first hand how these situations can impact families & communities. We learned early on the importance of emotional & mental wellbeing.
Cancer, suicide, depression, & mental health challenges affect many people's lives, and we believe they are rooted in our past limiting beliefs & traumas.
Both personal practices, as well as community, play a huge role in a healthy lifestyle. We are committed to creating spaces that provide a platform to connect & share leading edge tools to live a happy, fulfilled life!
WHO ARE WE?
UNITE is a community of IMAGINALS (humanitarians, visionaries, artists, changemakers etc...) working together towards creating a world full of love, joy, happiness, & abundance.
MISSION
To uplift humanity & elevating consciousness, UNITING
individuals & businesses, working together
harmoniously, creating a thriving world!
IMPACT
With our community’s support over the past 2 years, we have
created over 80 uplifting events, featuring local
& global presenters, with 6000+ attendees,
reaching over 650,000 people worldwide!
ANNOUNCING OUR UNITE CENTRE FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN!

HOW YOU CAN HELP?
As you can imagine, opening a retail business in one of the world’s hottest real estate markets is an adventure. We are raising $100,000 from our community in Vancouver and beyond. This next phase of funding will be used for:
- Launching a global equity crowdfunding campaign, this summer
- Professional video, branding, & marketing packages
- Business strategy & structure
- Legal work to prepare to secure the space
When you support, you are contributing to a more aligned, inclusive, integrated & preventive social system, and getting well while you do it.
You will be supporting in the creation of a place to UNITE different forces; spaces that are conducive to alignment, where each aspect supports and builds on each other, like permaculture for humanity!
CHOOSE YOUR PERKS
- Choose one or more of the perks to the right, or simply donate.
- You can also e-transfer or paypal connect@unite.love
USE OF PROCEEDS
- We are excited to launch our equity crowdfunding campaign soon to possibly buy the building as we will be making significant renovations, and it offers real estate investors an opportunity to own a portion of a building.
- A similar project in New York ( www.theassemblage.com ) has recently raised a significant amount of money through these means to buy three large buildings.
- This funding will help us develop a comprehensive strategy for assembling the necessary teams & resources to launch UNITE Centers around the world, starting in Vancouver.
- We will produce fundraising materials to raise the additional funds needed, & engage a team to support.
WHY WE BEGAN
We saw a need for support & connection in Vancouver. A big city that feels cold, lonely & disconnected to some. Many are overwhelmed with stress & mental health issues (like depression).
Vancouver was ranked the unhappiest city in Canada in 2015, despite the many uplifting & supportive events & people in the city. Perhaps some have a fear of trying new things, or feel challenged to change their state and connect with others.
Without a unified platform to support, create & curate events, and showcase wellness products & services, it can be difficult to find what would be most beneficial for optimal wellness.
Like a puzzle has all the pieces in the box, so do we as humanity have all the resources to provide solutions and create a thriving world.
UNITE’s core team of lifelong community builders recognizes this need & are committed to providing these solutions.
UNITE will provide a space for the healthy living, meditation, mindfulness, & entrepreneurial communities.
There we will work together to uplevel our own lives, unite around new projects, and provide space for more people to access daily personal development classes, breathwork, emotional work, meditation, mindfulness, wellness products & services, and more.
Led by a team of health & happiness focused entrepreneurs, meditators, & yogis who lead by example, making a positive difference in the world.
We are offering a community approach to wellness and sustainability, providing lasting solutions.

LEADING EDGE ENGAGEMENT
We learned through our Journeys events, that with the right venue, and the right content, an event can become viral, spreading through word of mouth. These events sold out with very little marketing, while others with more of a push fell short.
We will create amazing experiences & spaces first & foremost (Tesla has no marketing budget but still reaches many people by creating amazing products).
We have a talented team of community members to share, promote, and inspire growth & participation.

We see technology that connects people with wellness products & services, simplifying people's experience of finding the best tools to help them reach optimal function & flow, and a platform to connect teams & consultants with projects that that serve the greater global good.

Let’s UNITE & Light up the World!
ARE YOU AN IMAGINAL?
IMAGINALS are transformational agents here to uplift humanity & elevate consciousness, creating a world we can only now imagine!
-
Imaginal cells in caterpillars contain the DNA of the
butterfly, and are awakened once the metamorphosis is activated.
They are first seen as a threat, and are attacked, not unlike many
Imaginals throughout history. (Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi,
Nelson Mandela etc...)
-
However, these imaginal cells were created to facilitate this
transformation, and are well equipped to survive & eventually
thrive, becoming the butterfly they were meant to be.
-
As IMAGINALS, we may have felt like outsiders, been teased,
even persecuted. But we were born to create a more harmonious,
sustainable, peaceful, & love-filled world.
-
IMAGINALS can tend to stick together, even look to escape the
world, going into nature, and retreating to isolated communities.
-
The world is an ecosystem, a collection of villages, and
IMAGINALS are like shamans, the visionaries & truth holders.
It’s as if many of the shamans have left their villages, creating
their own safe havens, away from most of humanity, skewing the balance.
- The role of the shaman was always to bring the wisdom back to the tribe. For bread to rise, the yeast must be distributed evenly.
Our “conscious community” is amazing, and one of our biggest limiting factors, is that we tend to be separate from the very people who need us the most. This manifests itself as many IMAGINALS offering their gifts to other IMAGINALS, but the web is too small, and there is not enough financial flow between us.
- We believe this is by design, as we are here to uplift the whole. The time has come to UNITE.
We are creating UNITE CENTRES all around the world, starting in Vancouver, that will showcase our tribe, and all our gifts, in a way that is easy to access for anyone.
Our plan for elevating consciousness is thrice:
- Create UNITE CENTRES, multi-use spaces with co-working, spas, healthy food, wellness services, leading edge products, events, and more...
- Spread that model around the world, eventually leading to eco-community towers & retreat centres where we can all live & play together!
-
These spaces will act as community hubs, & training
centres, giving people a place to do regular inner work &
connect daily to spark co-creation.
- Create a series of uplifting, inspiring, & viral events, leading to a global synchronized stadium & festival tours UNITING BILLIONS around the world. These events will be mainstream and funnel people into UNITE CENTRES.
-
Through our Journeys events at the Planetarium we were able
to reach a mainstream audience, selling out every show, &
connecting people with amazing experiences, products, & services.
- Create technology platforms for showcasing & connecting people to sustainable wellness products, services, & events world wide!
--------------------------------------------------------------
RECIPE FOR AN ENLIGHTENED HUMANITY
As IMAGINALS, we carry within us, the seeds for a bright new future.
When we are full, of life, love & happiness, we have an overflow of energy that positively impacts the world and those around us.
Our work then is not to solve problems, but to lift ourselves and each other up, being examples of positivity & abundance, supporting those who may come into our field if in the flow for the highest good of all.
-
We see how depression, illness, mental health
challenges, and other personal issues affect not only
the individual, but all of their connections, and ripple outwards.
-
In effect, so too can happy, aligned people have an
exponential impact on those around them, and the world at large.
-
We believe that if the entire world learned how to be
consistently happy, to forgive, to harmoniously
transmute limiting thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, and to love
ourselves, each other, and all of life, unconditionally, that we
would see peace on earth, and experience a heaven-like, thriving
world, the likes of which we could only dream.
-
We believe that all problems, big or small, stem from
emotional states of disharmony, and that once we learn
to master our state of being, we will become conscious creators of
our reality, attracting what we truly desire, creating a world of
love, peace, and harmony.
-
We believe that all souls are born into this world
from a state of pure love, and learn from our
environments. Often, we take action from emotional states of
being, in response to our patterning & the world around us. We
believe all beings are inherently ‘good’, and that within each of
us is a seed of love, that only requires some attention and care
to bring it into blossom.
-
Dr. Bruce Lipton says that at least 95% of all
diseases are caused by stress, and the other 5% are genetic, and
were caused by stress in the lineage, and can be changed through
shifting thought patterns and states of being.
-
Stress is a choice of how we choose to respond to a
situation. Therefore we are 100% in charge of our health
and wellbeing, and we believe we also attract into our experience
that which we are a vibrational match to, meaning that if we feel
bad we will attract more bad feeling experiences, and feeling good
attracts more good feeling situations.
- Challenges also come up as we are called to increase our capacity to create; a new job or relationship can often bring up old patterns that must be released in order to thrive in this new reality. Without the tools to successfully navigate these situations we can live believing we are at the mercy of fate, or other people, and that we have little to no control in our lives.
- Divorce, suicide, & depression rates are indicative of this discord. Often, when we are ill or depressed, we have less to give others; so too, when decision makers are not aligned, it can create situations that seem to be win/lose rather than win/win for people and planet.
- Many of us learned these patterns from each other, and from our past programming. We can choose to shift them into harmonious thoughts, beliefs, and states of being, that can usher in a new age of abundance, prosperity, flow, and alignment for all.
- When we as a society engage in distractions (phones, TV, etc…) we are dissociating from reality. These practices can be self destructive if not paired with tools to align with and harmonize our existing reality (e.g. hating your job or your marriage).
To create a more harmonious reality we must learn how to master our inner world, and our focus. Being with others of like mind, and learning from those who have achieved mastery in such practices is a great way to do so.
The tools we need to create a joyful, sustainable world are all around us. The only limiting factor is ourselves, our states of being, and our limiting beliefs.
J
oin us in this movement to UNITE humanity, & connect each
other with the tools to create a harmonious & joyful world.
