Hello Soulhubbers — and thank you for your soul presence.
We, Andrew Cuerden and Carmen Rendell, are humbly inviting people to help us raise funds to buy and equip a campervan/motorhome that will become a mobile wellbeing hub, allowing us to travel more extensively across the UK, Europe and the rest of the world delivering free, or on donation, joyful and soulful events and services.
We are directors of Soulhub — a wellbeing consultancy devoted to foster connection, compassion, joy and belonging wherever we go. By bridging worlds and re-igniting people's faith in humanity.
Andrew is a former top international Latin Dancesport competitor and professional dancer on BBC Strictly Come Dancing, now working as a therapeutic dance and life coach.
Carmen is a former corporate brand and communications leader turned Soulwalker and eco-based counsellor.
For the past six years, we have been bringing people together through Soulwalks and Dance Al Fresco events across the UK — creating spaces where strangers become community, movement becomes medicine, and people reconnect with themselves and each other.
We have already delivered over 60 Soulwalks and 30 Dance Al Fresco events to communities and organisations in need of wellbeing focused community building.
Soulwalks are open-minded, heart-centred walks that integrate gentle psycho-physical practices to support nervous system balance and holistic wellbeing. They are inclusive spaces: multi-faith or no-faith. Where the terrain of life can be explored with compassion and curiosity.
Dance Al Fresco are outdoor social dance events for all ages and abilities; joyful, welcoming spaces where communities gather, kick off their shoes and remember how good it feels to move together.
Over the last few summers, we trialled Soulhub On Tour, travelling around the UK, in our car, delivering our events in different locations. The response was clear: people are craving meaningful, embodied connection. We were repeatedly asked, “When are you coming to our town?”

Recently we find ourselves at an unexpected turning point. Due to a significant and unaffordable rent increase, we have no choice but to leave our current home in the coming months.
Rather than seeing this solely as a setback, we believe this is the "Universe" nudging us into the next stage of our evolution. An invitation to walk our talk and live our truth.
We wish to continue and developing the following areas of our business.
* Find, experience and share stories, via our social media and podcast channels, of inspirational and soulful people, places and activities around the world that are, in whatever way, helping heal people and planet through doing what they love with passion and integrity.
* Create a trusted resource of positive, uplifting and practical information, that will inspire and empower others to follow their dreams.
* Secure our supporters free/discounted offers from the people and places we find along the way that in turn help them.
*Offer "Restoration Hubs" in beautiful locations for people who feel the need to “catch their breath,” remember who they truly are, and restore themselves.
Our ultimate dream is find a place of our own, a home and therapeutic space for others to enjoy, as we have enjoyed others.

We believe deeply in Ubuntu — “I am because we are.” None of us thrive in isolation. We all flourish through community and shared care.
AND....it is also not just the "work" or support we offer, but the people we all are. How we speak, communicate, dress and behave impact all those around us.
Like the famous quote from Rumi: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” The Universe is calling for us all to step bravely into our truest and fullest selves.
Your support will not simply be funding a vehicle. It will help us empower and inspire communities of people willing and enthusiastic about creating peace and prosperity for people and planet.
If you want to personally benefit from our events, services and content as well as see how your donation is helping us, help others, please follow us on:
