Community Building Through MCS

Jul 2, 2019

By Ruby Orcutt (Derby, NY), Senior MCS Student

One year ago I was looking for inspiration. My career was at a certain point, but my expectations were much higher.

Then I bumped into Mindfulness Coaching School, and it felt like inspiration had knocked at my door. Being a student of MCS has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the first course to the next one, and to the next, I found myself exploring, discovering, and nurturing the best of me.

Coaching requires knowledge and skills and yet stellar coaching goes beyond the well known definition. It adds honesty, compassion, connection and whole presence.

In connection, MCS has taught me how community is built to support my evolution toward becoming a stellar coach. Upon completing each course I enjoy the privilege to keep in close contact with some of the students from other parts of the globe. We meet on Zoom and practice on a regular basis. With growing confidence, we share knowledge and dive into the different avenues that a given session may present.

We connect. Yes, we connect. This kind, informed, and consistent feedback allows us to be relevant, enriched, and empowered, as we honor our commitment to positively impact other’s lives. Thank you MCS for creating such a wonderful, warm, creative and inspirational space!

Right Speech simply knocked my socks off. I eagerly read every book, every article or other reference with delight. I cannot begin to say how much I learned about myself in this course and how I can apply things like non-violent communication, vulnerability, and the 12 Pathways to my everyday life, both personally and professionally. Taking this course in tandem with The Art of Engaged Mindfulness could not have been a better pairing. I look forward to taking every course that you offer.

Taking Business Alchemy after months of my own business planning felt like perfect timing. I had the opportunity to put to test all I had been dreaming and building and had the chance to be guided by an empathetic instructor and a supportive group of peers. Read more

The class Right Speech took me beyond the basic coaching skills into higher-level listening and mindfulness skills I now use regularly in my coaching practice and in my life. Meg Hess is a caring and knowledgeable teacher who creates an atmosphere of trust and passion for coaching.

I went into Right Speech thinking it was a way to connect through words and discovered it was much more. Transforming beliefs and behaviors, courage, resilience, kindness, listening; the qualities of how and what we communicate, nonviolent communication, connecting to self, understanding our needs and feelings as a series of openings that help us coach our clients to self-awareness and the change they want to be.

Ann Marie’s gentle teaching style and complete absence of judgement in The Art of Mindfulness was just what this stressed out lapsed meditator needed! Thanks to her skillful instruction, I now have a mindfulness practice that is so right for me it very quickly and naturally became part of the fabric of my life. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a more interesting and loving group of fellow students with whom to share it with. Truly life changing.

The Art of Engaged Mindfulness allowed me to become more flexible with my own established meditation practice. I really enjoyed the opportunity to dialogue with fellow coaches interested in deepening their own practice and sharing it with the world.
