Testimonials

The Mindful Grieving Practicum and Elena Parthemer will always stand out as a fabulous springtime experience that I will never forget. I have participated in many healing opportunities as well as counseling around my grief, but this stood out as an all-encompassing perspective on grief and loss. The format and structure allowed a great deal of intimacy with others with little personal interaction. Elena reflected back the essence of each person's sharing. I was surprised how much I learned from others in their sharing, and how deeply I gained new knowledge about myself. The pace of the group was just right. Elena is gifted in setting a comfortable, trustworthy and supportive environment for participants. She is an experienced yoga teacher and was able to communicate her instruction to meet the needs of all abilities. Thank you so very much for this delightful practicum. I left every session feeling renewed and energetic.
