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.
