Adam is the real deal. I just completed his Intro to Meditation class, and am meditating regularly for the first time. I have been a dedicating yogini for 15 years, but have struggled to integrate a sitting practice into my daily life. Adam’s approach changed everything for me. He is incredibly intelligent and has a professor’s knowledge of Buddhism, mindfulness, meditation, etc. But it is Adam’s ability to make esoteric concepts relevant to the uninitiated and to show his students how meditation — whether while seated, walking, talking, eating — is not that hard. For the first time, I now experience my meditation practice as a necessary break from the largely mindless activity of living, and an invitation to explore each moment as one would explore a new city on vacation. Thank you, Adam, for changing my life by sharing your gifts with me. — Elizabeth B.

Adam has an extensive background in meditation and a strong commitment to teaching the practice. Recently taking his class as a complete beginner, I definitely found it to be worthwhile. Not only did he provide a very good (and often entertaining) introduction to the topic, but he also inspired the motivation to make meditation part of my routine. My hope is that I will stick with it and gain the benefits.

Adam is everything you want in a meditation coach. He is a warm, generous spirit. He is funny (hysterical really). He is impressively smart and knowledgable. It is obvious when working with him or simply talking to him that he was studied diligently, put in years of hard word, learning about and practicing various contemplative traditions. He has lived in monasteries for years, and brings this background to his work. He will impress you in this way. However, it is his humility that you will feel when your session is over. As Maya Angelou said, «…people will never forget how you made them feel.» Adam makes you feel welcomed, supported and inspired. I am grateful for his assistance in helping me establish a meditation practice (no small feat). But I am more grateful for our sessions together and the wisdom he’s brought to my life. There are more pockets of peace and calm in my life, more places of dignity, less anxiety — little by little, more happiness.

Adam is a wonderful teacher: he not only has the knowledge, he has the life experience, and he ties them both together with wisdom and ease. He brings both light-​heartedness and serious spirituality to his classes, and the insight and openness gained in his presence is incomparable. Perhaps I am biased, as he has become a dear friend of mine over the last many years, however I can say for sure that if you want to learn from the best, learn from Adam.

Adam introduces the basics of meditation in a way that is accessible to anyone but also includes its depth and uses. His clear commitment to meditation comes through in his teaching and motivates students to begin sitting.

I took Adam’s meditation class in Oakland. I found Adam to be a very skillful meditation teacher. Adam has extensive knowledge of both Buddhism and meditation, and his course teaches both meditation techniques, the tenets of Buddhism, and how they interrelate to each other. Adam was able to help each student in the class with whatever obstacles they encountered while trying to meditate. Adam was able to accommodate students who had no previous meditation experience and also students who already had some experience but wanted to go deeper. I’m also really like Adam’s blog at
. I find his writings to be interesting and insightful.

I have known Adam for many years now; he is one of the most knowledgeable meditation and spiritual teachers that I have worked with. I appreciated his creative lessons and meditations as well, as the balance of content and practice he brings to his class. Whatever level you are at, Adam has something to offer. Because of his vast experience in many different modalities of personal growth, Adam can often draw comparisons and contrasts with meditation and other world views. Adam is completely dedicated to his practice, and is a man with a deep commitment to his friends and family. He is also very funny and brings humor to his teaching. I highly recommend Adam Coutts as a meditation teacher.

I’ve been coaching with Adam for six months and he has become an invaluable resource in my life. He’s already got me thinking about my life with more clarity and potential. I both really enjoy and feel the value of our sessions. The dude pays attention, and makes some sharp connections. I also see the writing on the wall, and a meditation practice is going to start to creep into my life.

Ten years ago, I took a class that changed my life forever. It was Adam Coutts’s introductory meditation course, «A Journey of Depth and Liberation.» If you’re looking for a new way of dealing with the ups and downs of everyday life, if you want to get to know yourself better and become more self-​aware, if you’d like to let go of old pain and cultivate a sense of well-​being, or if you would just like to know more about this «mindfulness» thing that’s suddenly getting a lot of attention in our culture and bring some of it into your life, then this class is for you. Adam is a deeply kind and gentle soul, and an amazing teacher; he makes 2500 year-​old wisdom immediately relevant to our modern, busy lives. As we Buddhists like to say, «I recommend it to all beings.»
