Last week for The Complete Idealist's Blissness Action Camp Pilot Group

The Complete Idealist's Blissness Action Camp. The Pilot Group allows your audience to receive over 1/2 off the regular price of this innovative, power-packed program, in exchange for their feedback. As has always been the case with every new workshop we offer, there is only 1 pilot group, after which the course is sold at full price. The last date we are accepting purchases of The Complete Idealist's Blissness Action Camp Pilot Program is March 31, 2009 . At that point, the Pilot Program is permanently removed from the Artella Store and the workshop will be sold at full price.

Tide Loads of Hope Website

Tide Loads of Hope helps in the aftermath of a natural disaster by providing clean clothes and a sense of comfort to families in need. Partnering with Feeding America, we travel to disaster affected neighborhoods with the Tide Loads of Hope truck or vans, our free mobile laundry service.

Tide Loads of Hope truck:
• 32 high-effiency washers and dryers stationed on the truck
• Can do 300 wash and dry cycles a day -equal to one year's worth of laundry for a single family
• Will wash about 9,000 loads of laundry over a four-week period
• Leveraged during massive disasters where electricity is unavailable in the region
Tide Loads of Hope vans:
• In partnership with a local laundromat, the Tide Loads of Hope vans provide free laundry service at the same load rate as the trucks
• Leveraged during disasters where neighboring communities still have a source of electricity
To date, Tide Loads of Hope has washed more than 35,000 loads of laundry for over 20,000 families. Most importantly, the Tide Loads of Hope program means we're equipped to take action whenever and wherever there is a need in our country.

Tide Loads of Hope Vintage Tees:

Tide Loads of Hope can also be supported through the purchase of a Tide Vintage Tee. All profits go to support families affected by disaster.

Where it all started

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the need for clean clothing became critical, and Tide found a way to help. So in November 2005, the Tide Loads of Hope truck headed to Camp Hope in the Metairie, LA area and cleaned over 10,000 loads of laundry. The spirit of this first venture informs and inspires everything Tide Loads of Hope program does.
raise money via T-Shirt sales to support families that are affected by disaster in this one-of-a-kind program. The shirts are vintage-looking and support a great cause. 

Shirts can be purchased through this link:
