06In their words

From cohort one.

MSoYS is like a guided and supported journey through the messiness you’ve been avoiding, alongside peers who are exploring their own messes.

Student, Cohort 1

I went in with a healthy dose of skepticism… but by the end I was really impressed by how everything really did build and come together into a meaningful whole.

Student, Cohort 1

This course was not just beneficial for my life and goals, but just enjoyable.

Student, Cohort 1

An incredibly valuable toolkit for personal reflection and development, that you explore within a supportive community of remarkable and courageous people.

Student, Cohort 1

Abby and Alfi’s facilitation was generous and mindful. They offered space for meaningful one-on-one conversations I never thought I’d have.
