Palouse Mindfulness Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Going Deeper
Overview

This section is designed for graduates of the Palouse Mindfulness course who want to continue their learning and growth, but may be of interest even for people who have not done the Palouse Mindfulness course. The corner-stone of this section is Graduate Explorations, which includes 20 modules containing over 120 videos and articles, more content than the entire Palouse Mindfulness course.

Graduate Explorations
These 20 learning modules are from live, in-person, graduate meetings Dave Potter led between 2013 and 2023 in which we explored and expanded on topics introduced in the eight-week Palouse Mindfulness MBSR course. These modules can be accessed selectively and in any order. For instance, you might pick just a few topics to explore, or you may want to experience them all.
Pandemic Meetings
In this section are links to video recordings from the large-group zoom meetings Dave Potter led which began in April of 2020 in response to COVID-19 and continued monthly through 2023.
Teacher-Training
Here are links to a wide variety of programs for those wishing to be certified as a teacher of mindfulness, including mindfulness resources for therapists and educators. These resources offer mindfulness training beyond what is offered by a standard 8-week MBSR class.
Retreat Opportunities
A powerful adjunct to regular meditation practice is participation in silent retreats. Silent retreats are an important part of many contemplative traditions and this section provides links to a number of retreat centers world-wide that offer them.

You are not a drop in the ocean,
You are the entire ocean in a drop.
- Rumi
In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth and Walnut, in the center of the shopping district, I was suddenly overwhelmed by the realization that I loved all those people . . . even though we were total strangers. It was like waking from a dream of separateness.
- Thomas Merton
When all that we understand of self and world comes together in the center place called heart, we are more likely to find the courage to act humanely on what we know.
- Parker Palmer
We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.
- Martin Luther King
I would say that there exist a thousand unbreakable links between each of us and everything else, and that our dignity and our changes are one. The farthest star and the mud at our feet are family; and there is no decency or sense in honoring one thing, or a few things, and then closing the list. The pine tree, the leopard, the Platte River, and ourselves – we are at risk together, or we are on our way to a sustainable world together. We are each other’s destiny.
