Give Your Gift

Give Your Gift is a two week online program about discovering a new, joyful, energizing relationship to work and projects. It’s focused on fun service projects, a practical approach to iteratively discovering what you enjoy, what you excel at, and how you can benefit the world. Ultimately, these projects will lead you towards what we call your vow—your calling or life purpose—what you came here to do. 

Fun Service Projects:

• feel like play, not a grind
• give you life energy, instead of draining you
• are something you enjoy and look forward to, rather than dread and avoid
• use all your talents, not just some of them
• help you to grow, not stagnate
• genuinely benefit others, rather than being something everyone ignores
• serve the world, rather than harm it

It’s not about sacrificing yourself for the benefit of others, or simply having fun for pleasure and entertainment—it’s about using your gifts in a way that you enjoy and the world needs.

Give Your Gift is designed for:

• quirked-up, weird, possibly neurodivergent people with abundant talents, skills, and gifts, who are missing a clear context or projects to bring their full selves to
• employees with a 9-5 whose jobs and careers make them feel dead inside
• burned-out tech workers who dropped out of the rat race for months and years of sabbatical
• confused people who wish the inscrutable exhortations of their soul were just a tad bit more scrutable
• emergent heroes with a quiet, insistent sense that they have far more to give, who would hope their work and lives benefit the world

You’ll find projects that you enjoy, work that you grow through doing, and move towards living a life that serves the world.

How it works

Give Your Gift will put you on a path to doing work and projects that you deeply enjoy, that you grow through doing, that make the world a better place.

Session 1: Choose a Quest: learn about what a fun service project is, generate possible project ideas that fit five key qualities

Session 2: Clarify Your Values: find your core values that you can steer by when making life choices or deciding what projects to take on

Session 3: Find Your Vow: learn about what a vow (life purpose, mission) is, begin to tell a compelling story about what you are here to do

Session 4: Map Your Journey: use the Quest Map to plot a course for how you’ll act on your newfound sense of who you are and what you are here to do

Each session will include:

• brief emotional check-ins to land in the session
• a short talk with new information and perspectives
• one or more exercises to interactively practice and internalize the ideas
• time to share and reflect as a group on what we discovered

Sessions will be recorded, so that participants who can’t attend a session live can still benefit from the material. Please do your best to attend all four sessions, though, so you can get the full value of this program!

By learning about fun service projects, finding your core values, and telling a story about your life purpose—in the company of other people who are stretching their capacities and stories about who they are, what they can do in the world—you’ll find clear next steps and a path towards doing projects and work in the world that you deeply enjoy.

Join us if you want to

• move away from a way of relating to your work that is tiring and deadening, towards a more life-giving, energizing, and joyous way of using your talents and gifts
• generate project ideas that you’re truly excited to act on, that you are completely confident you can finish, that you will deeply enjoy doing and grow in the process
• discover your core values so you can make large and small life decisions with ease, and steer towards projects and situations that make you feel truly alive
• learn to tell a story about who you are and what you’re here to do that inspires you, and attracts projects and collaborators that make those dreams possible
• meet other like-minded, like-hearted people you could potentially collaborate on projects with
• rediscover a sense of hope and purpose that there is meaningful work to do, that there are projects you can do that you truly enjoy, that you are here on this Earth for a reason

Tickets to join Give Your Gift are $250. We’ve run longer, more extended versions of this program in the past for $1,000—with this iteration, we’re experimenting with offering a shorter, less expensive program, in hopes that it will be accessible to more people AND deliver a similar impact in less time.

We want our service projects to have maximum deep benefit—to benefit as many beings as possible, as deeply as possible. If you want to be a part of Give Your Gift, but money is a barrier to your participation, we’d still love to have you join—contact Tasshin to tell us about yourself and why you want to participate.

Live Q&A

We’ll host a live Q&A to share about the program and answer questions on May 21st at 9 AM PDT, Noon EDT, 5 PM UTC+1. The call will be recorded and shared publicly so people who can’t attend live can watch.

Parting Message

We see you as a hero—a badass, cool, powerful person who longs to serve the world.

We see your spark—your skills and hopes and dreams—and we believe in you. We want to see you truly come to life, for your joy and the benefit of the world.

We want to see heroes like yourself flourish, and to build a community of such people working together to joyfully serve the world.

We expect that this program will mark a turning point in your life, and that its ripples will be felt in our communities and the world for years to come. We hope you’ll join us!
