Drs. Laura MacIssac & Amy Novatt, Founders The Art of Pausing Retreat – “Elettra helped us define and bring to life The Art of Pausing Retreat with clarity and intention. Elettra refined our messaging, shaped the retreat experience from front of house to back of house, and ensured the programming honored both the emotional and practical needs of participants. Her work helped to translate complex medical content into an accessible, human, and seamless retreat that fostered real connection and clarity. Additionally, working with Elettra also helped us envision how The Art of Pausing could extend beyond a single weekend—reaching wider audiences in ways that feel authentic, sustainable, and offer enduring value.”
Testimonials
Valerio Carocci, Founder, Cinema Troisi – “Elettra designed and led a 14-week meditation program at Cinema Troisi that was culturally attuned, original, and deeply aligned with our values. Teaching in Italian among cinema seats and the theater’s silence, she translated Zen meditation principles in an accessible, relevant, and engaging way. Within weeks, she built a consistent, committed community around the series. The program activated an otherwise quiet time, offering a distinctive experience that strengthened Troisi’s long-term connection with its local and city-wide community.”
Drs. Franceso Sylos Labini & Matteo Caravani, Authors of Conflict, Climate & Inequalities – “Elettra was instrumental in shaping our Food for Thought event — helping us translate the depth of our research into a clear, compelling, and engaging evening. She worked closely with us to distill complex ideas from the book into a presentation that was both intellectually rigorous and accessible to a broad audience. The result was a sold-out event that exceeded our expectations: attendees were deeply engaged, left with concrete takeaways, and the evening significantly expanded the visibility of our work in the U.S. Elettra’s guidance helped extend the reach of the book beyond academia, strengthening its relevance, audience, and long-term impact. Throughout the process, Elettra was an outstanding manager, always on top of everything but also relaxed and emphatic. She delivers with care.”
Aisling Camps, Designer – “The Made for Moda: Aisling Camps at Mama Farm collection was a rare and meaningful creative partnership made possible by Elettra’s vision. She recognized the opportunity to connect high-end wool couture with a compelling farm-to-fashion story, creating industry engagement and a strong proof of concept. The result was a unique collection brought to market that received widespread recognition, generating visibility and positive attention for my work in Vogue, WWD, Moda Operandi, and beyond.”
