Evelyn Brandt
Eveline Brandt (1968) is one of the regular supervisors of 30NOW. She was trained at the Institute for Mindfulness in 2010 and has been working wholeheartedly as a mindfulness trainer in Leiden ever since. She gives training courses in Mindfulness / MBSR in her own 'Centre for mindfulness Leiden' on open registration. The practice of mindfulness and meditation has changed her life so much and brought so much good that she exchanged her job as a journalist for work as a mindfulness trainer more than ten years ago.
Eveline believes it is important that her students can continue to practice meditation after a training and continue to feel inspired by mindfulness. That is why, in addition to MBSR, she also offers the advanced course Mindfulness & Self-Compassion and the Basic Course Buddhism. She also likes to offer refresher sessions to help people keep their mindfulness practice alive and inspired. That is why she will soon start an online series of 're-mindfulness' at 30now.
Eveline occasionally writes about mindfulness as a journalist, for example she works as a freelancer for Psychologie Magazine and is also regularly asked for a lecture or interview about it. At 30now you can find various meditations and lectures by Eveline and listen to her podcast with Joost van den Heuvel Rijnders. Together with Joost she will publish their second book in the fall of 2021: Back to the heart - compassion in daily life.
