Discover and live the gifts you were born to give.We each carry a unique set of gifts. They are ways of being that feel natural, energising, and genuinely valuable to others. When we recognise and live from these gifts, life becomes more meaningful, connected, and aligned.
This weekend brings together two complementary workshops led by Bruce Anderson, founder of the Core Gift Institute. You can attend either day individually, or join both for the fullest experience, where the insights from each day begin to weave together into something that lasts.
If you feel called to join us, you’re welcome to register your interest.
Ticket sales open 24 June, and places are limited.

Greater authenticity and confidence in moving forward
This weekend is for you if ...
- You feel a longing to understand your deeper purpose and what you're truly here to offer
- You want more authenticity and alignment in how you show up in your life
- You're drawn to meaningful connection and community
- You’re curious about uncovering and working with your natural gifts
No prior experience needed. You're welcome exactly as you are.
The Ecovillage in Currumbin Valley
The workshops are held at the Old Dairy Community Centre, within the Ecovillage in Currumbin Valley. Set on 270 acres of hinterland, the village sits between forest and ocean, about 10-mins drive from Currumbin Beach.
Around 450 adults and 120 children live here, alongside free-roaming kangaroos. The Ecovillage reflects a way of living shaped by care for land, place, and community.
You may wish to make a weekend of it. The valley lends itself to slowing down. There are walking trails, a village café, and quiet places to sit. Nearby are waterfalls, rock pools, and the sea.
Staying nearby
Accommodation is available within and around the Ecovillage, including cottages and small guest stays. Availability can be limited, so it is worth booking ahead. Searching “Currumbin Ecovillage accommodation” or browsing Airbnb, Hipcamp, or booking . com will show current options. For those travelling from Brisbane, the Gold Coast, or further afield, arriving the evening before allows time to settle.
