Welcome to Mindful River! We are an informal community in the greater Spokane WA / Coeur d’Alene ID area who are exploring, discussing, and practicing mindfulness together. We have an online or in person meeting about once a month; there is no need to RSVP for meetings — just show up. Scroll down to see a list of our scheduled upcoming meetings, past meetings, and announcements.
Our group came together as Mindfulness Mingle in 2025, with a name change to Mindful River in 2026.
Discord Server
Or group has a Discord server for discussions, which is also where we are currently holding our online meetings. (Discord is a platform for online groups, with text-based discussions and the ability to have live video meetings.)
If you live in the area and would like to join our discussions on Discord, send a message introducing yourself to the email address “lake”‘ at this web site’s domain address.
Meeting Format
Each meeting is devoted to a single topic in mindfulness. We explore the topic together through a guided meditation or mindful movement practice, one or more short readings and/or videos, and discussion. Everyone is welcome, from people who are new to mindfulness to those who have been practicing mindfulness for years.
Please join us! Bring an open mind, as well as a meditation cushion or mat if you like (chairs will be available for our in-person meetings; you might also want a sheet to put underneath your mat/cushion if you plan to be on the floor, as we are using public library spaces to meet, where the floor is not particularly clean).
