Erik Vienneau is a therapist, teacher, and guide devoted to helping people navigate the great transitions of adulthood—divorce and relationship change, career crossroads, grief and loss, spiritual awakening, and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) question: What now?

With more than 30 years of personal mindfulness practice and formal training as a graduate of Naropa University’s Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling program, Erik brings a rare blend of professional skill, embodied presence, and lived experience. His work is deeply informed by wisdom traditions, nervous system science, and a respect for the intelligence already living within each person.

Through AWAKE Mindful Living, Erik offers selective one-on-one psychotherapy alongside group experiences, workshops, and retreats—creating spaces where people are not only supported individually, but also restored through connection and community. He believes healing happens not just on the couch, but in rooms—when people come together to tell the truth, slow down, and remember what matters.

Erik’s approach is grounded, compassionate, and practical. Rather than fixing or pathologizing, he meets clients exactly where they are, helping them cultivate stability, clarity, and trust in their own inner wisdom. His role is less about providing answers and more about walking alongside others as they mature into relational, emotional, and spiritual adulthood.

At the heart of Erik’s work is a simple conviction:
Community is not an add-on to healing—it is the medicine itself.
