What Is Passionate Packages?

In Artella’s annual holiday tradition, we will sing, work, and play our way through the Passionate Packages process!

“Passionate Packages Tied Up with Strings” guides you through every step of creating an eBook that you can sell, which can become the basis of any product or event you want to launch.

 I believe that we can actually harness the movement and joy of the season and funnel that directly into our creativity.  AND…we do it all while singing holiday songs… and all kinds of other whimsicalia! Really!  You will learn how to work with the energy of the holidays instead of against it!

Why? Because the more we play, the more we produce! Passionate Packages is the ultimate blending of the two, balancing play and productivity, right and left brain, process and product.

Passionate Packages also provides a deep sense of nurturing for YOU during the holidays. Throughout the program, we will be covering things like:

• Valuing yourself & your creative expression

• Bringing more sparkle to your creative practice

• Maintaining gentle boundaries with others

• Integrating the “little things” that nourish you

• Tracking your connections between creativity and wellness

This program is not only an opportunity to create a new eBook or product…but it’s a container for Deep Self-Care — a little festive corner that is just for you!

What’s Different This Year?

Participants keep returning to Passionate Packages year after year for its playful and productive approach.  This is a system that works. 

But this year, for the first time, Passionate Packages extends into January, offering additional support to see your project through to completion.

We’ll adventure through the traditional “Passionate Packages” material, followed by a two-week holiday break. Then return for another 4 weeks to wrap up the experience and complete your eBook (or other creative project) by the end of January 2025. 

It’s double the Passionate Packages content – for the same price as last year!
