A message from our founder, Elaine Alpert
Ohhh, the times we live in… Every week another conflict, another disaster… another loss.
Around the world, how do we keep opening our hearts and doing what we can to help without also burning out… especially if we are struggling, too?
Feeling the intensity of it all, we at MindPeace Miracles have been soul-searching for the past year, asking ourselves:
*What is OUR part to play right now… how do we bring more love and compassion into the world, as well as practical support that makes a real difference?
And then, while brainstorming with a dear woman in my life… a lightbulb moment!
“What if we create a film… and maximize it for GOOD in the world??”
And NOW, my friend, it’s happening.
My years of working with people to reclaim joy and purpose after adversity, and all the training I’ve been so fortunate to have across 30 years, is coming together…
In collaboration with an international award-winning film director, we are creating a 6-part docuseries in five countries with a powerhouse purpose:
This film series is a call to action for personal and collective healing, championing the power of human connection and the commitment to a deeper dive inside -- an invitation to reawaken compassion and faith in ourselves, in each other, in our planet, and in the beauty of life itself.
A peek inside the series…
In one episode very close to my heart, we're bringing forward a groundbreaking way to effectively work with young men facing difficult circumstances and suicidal ideation. You may know that Tom and I lost our 16-year-old son to suicide in 2004, and I am completely serious about getting this episode into the world! Feeling isolated and believing they are a burden to others are core issues - the rate of suicide and overdose is now at the highest level ever.
In another episode, we're working with a group of women overwhelmed by caregiving for their families, including aging parents, and feeling frustrated by the limits of the US healthcare system. I am personally in the midst of this dilemma. The amount of stress and heartache calls for more internal resources and true support.
And, we'll tackle additional critical issues of our time, such as worldwide polarization and racial conflict... but from the 'inside out', where understanding, compassion, and change actually begin.
Personal healing leads to a more loving, inheritable world ... ME to WE.
Filming six episodes in 5 countries requires significant funding. The financial support of many people holding this vision will create a groundbreaking series that continues its impact over time.
With your support, we’ll sensitively document the inspirational healing journeys of individuals and groups facing life challenges that deeply affect so many of us, including real interactions with our expert facilitators.
We have already engaged international thought leaders and award-winning professionals to create this series.
Our film director, for instance, taught documentary filmmaking to graduate students for over 25 years and created her own celebrated films – she really knows the ropes, from concept & budget to international distribution. Quite a partnership!

As a dynamic group facilitator and speaker for over 25 years, Elaine leads online programs, workshops and retreats. She also works with private clients. Elaine holds a graduate degree with specializations in Transformative Learning and Integrative Health. She wrote her thesis, ‘Fostering Resilience: Conscious Engagement with Life As It Is’ as academic groundwork for The MindPeace Method®, a proprietary program for healing after traumatic loss.
Shortly after Elaine tragically lost her teenage son Rand by suicide in 2004, she met Iris Bolton, author of My Son, My Son and a key leader in suicide prevention and aftercare for over 40 years. They became close friends and co-presented at national conferences. In 2016 Iris invited Elaine to create an online companion course to her latest book, Voices of Healing and Hope.
This online interactive course, Pathway to Peace of Mind, is available for women who have lost a child or partner by suicide. Also, in response to the US opioid crisis, Pathway to Peace of Mind: Healing Tools for Mothers After Loss by Overdose is available. Additional online courses and in-person retreats are offered.
Elaine founded a nonprofit, MindPeace Miracles, to provide tool-based experiential programs for those in need of financial assistance. The mission is to support women and their families facing significant loss, to go beyond surviving to thriving, by developing clarity, meaning, purpose, joy and gratitude for life once again.
She has been a certified Trainer for the More To Life Program for over 20 years, leading dynamic workshops and retreats internationally. Elaine is also a licensee of More To Life tools which form a core of The MindPeace Method®. Further, this method draws from the fields of leadership development, mindfulness, transpersonal psychology, mind/body medicine, neuroscience, energy psychology, indigenous healing, spirituality, and a broad range of the arts.
Originally educated in Art and Design, Elaine opened a women’s wear manufacturing company in Manhattan in the late 1970’s, selling to major department stores and boutiques across the country. As an award-winning artist, she was also commissioned to create large-scale sculptures for public and corporate spaces. It was the sudden loss of her mother in 1983 that led Elaine to begin asking the deeper questions about life, and eventually to focus on the fundamental human need for healing and growth.
Elaine is committed to the deeper dive, to receiving what Life is teaching us through the difficult, exhilarating, painful, and most beautiful moments of our lives. She creates a safe, interactive learning environment filled with compassion and encouragement. In community with other women, participants gain a toolbox of bold insights and practices to become more real, more loving and more at peace in their own skin.
She has been married to Tom, the love of her life, for 31 years and they have a son in college. She is a confessed bookaholic, loves taking long walks and can hardly wait for the next travel adventure.
