How does the Palouse Mindfulness course compare to a live MBSR course?Īfter reading the letters of completion and practice sheets of more than 6,000 online students from over 100 countries (see Map of Graduates) and having previously taught MBSR to 400 people live and in person, I've concluded that students who complete the Palouse Mindfulness course typically have just as deep an experience as those who complete a live MBSR course (see Testimonials / Gallery of Learning). There is even a way for people without internet to have access to the course.
It pleases me to know that anyone with an internet connection, whether they live in Moscow, Idaho or Moscow, Russia, can find and use the rich set of materials here. I soon realized that with a little work, the material could be useful to people who are not able to attend a live MBSR class, either because of financial or geographical limitations.Ĭreating and incrementally improving this resource has been a labor of love, and I'm happy to provide these materials without asking for a fee, something that is made possible given the economies of the internet, how the course is structured, and the generosity of other teachers* who have given their permission to make their teachings freely available on this website. I started teaching my twice-yearly in-person classes in 2004 and, as a service to my students, began to put some parts of the class online.

I'm also a retired professional psychotherapist who has had a daily meditation practice for over 30 years, and when I discovered MBSR, I wanted to offer it to my clients and my community.
I am fully certified as an MBSR instructor by the University of Massachusetts Medical School and I taught live, in-person MBSR classes in my community for 12 years. What are your credentials and why don't you charge for the course? (NOTE: Some of the videos have advertising, but the ad revenue goes directly to the creator of the videos and not to me or Palouse Mindfulness.) Contributions make the course even more accessible to people around the world, but this is not expected nor required - see About Contributions. I receive no income personally from the site, not even indirectly. There is no catch: no fees, no spam, no cookies, you don't even need to identify yourself or give an email address. Is this online MBSR course really, truly, 100% free?

Offering something for nothing does seem a little suspicious these days and I get many emails about this free online MBSR course, many of which ask one or more of the following questions: All of the materials used in the live courses I taught, including guided meditations, articles and videos, are freely available here. I'm so glad you found this website! Here you will find a complete MBSR course, designed for people who are not able to take a live MBSR course for financial or logistical reasons.
