Fundraising & Your Support
An Appeal From Us At The True Nature Centre
Please feel free to make a donation to support the True Nature Centre in a very special project.
Our True Nature Charitable Trust is a non-profit organisation we created in 2007 to develop, expand, nurture, and protect the principles that we hold dear at the True Nature Centre. Principles like support, understanding, respect, healing, and peace. We’re asking for your help so we can continue our work.
Everything we have and earn goes straight back into the Centre, but that is still not enough. We need you. We need your support.
We recently had to move out of our old Centre and now we need to buy a new building for the True Nature Centre to operate from. A place where anyone from all walks of life, within New Zealand and from around the globe, can come to begin living their true nature.
As with the old Centre, we will facilitate self-improvement using Elysha and Julie’s unique educational courses and a daily program of events that will bring empowerment and a genuine connection to the beauty of the heart that shines within.
This building will be developed using permaculture principles in order to have a low impact on the environment and to work with the Earth’s natural gifts.
The True Nature Centre is about the power of people like you doing extraordinary things. Together, people like us change the world, one moment at a time. People like us fund it. It's proof of our unlimited potential to change the world.
Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet lives their true nature; giving and receiving from the beauty of their heart.
That’s where we’re headed. And with your help, we will get there.
You are part of our community.
We believe that the True Nature Centre keeps getting better. That's the whole idea. If you find it useful today, imagine how much we can achieve together in 5, 10, 20 years.
We need to protect the space where this important work happens. We need to protect the Earth and our place on it. We want to keep it growing – spreading knowledge everywhere, and inviting participation from everyone.
Thank you. You're part of this story: please make a donation today.
With love and gratitude,
True Nature Centre Team

Donations From The Trustees
Our Trustees do their utmost to keep the True Nature Centre and Our True Nature Charitable Trust up and running. Any ‘personal’ money that they make goes directly back into the Centre in some form or another.
To reach our goal of touching humanity with the beauty of their heart, Julie has recently written a new book called the Powerful Peace Program™. This program will be ready for sale in early 2010, it comes with a free audio accompaniment to help in deeply understanding and easily implementing the program into everyday life. Elysha and Julie are in the process of having 1000 copies of this book printed. They intend to donate 500 of these books to Our True Nature Charitable Trust and will be taking them wherever they can to help anyone who is interested in living their true nature. Julie would like to take them to hospitals, prisons, schools, and libraries. The other 500 books will be used within the True Nature Centre to help to provide revenue for more future development.
If you have a suggestion of where some of the donated books would be fully appreciated, please send us a message through the contact page.
Elysha is also heavily involved in donating his ebooks via "Operation Ebook Drop". Operation Ebook Drop is a program where special Indie authors have signed up to provide Free ebooks to the deployed men and women in the coalition Armed Forces for use on their reading devices. Being away from their families many soldiers and peacekeepers may have an increased dependence on reading. Operation Ebook Drop is there to support them through this time. Elysha has published his ebooks using Smashwords, due to the wide recognition of the multiple ebook-reading devices - cell phones, Kindles, Sony Readers, laptops, etc. - people use to read ebooks.
Both Kirsten and Phu also spend large chunks of their time working on behalf of Our True Nature Charitable Trust, helping in whatever way they can.
