Joost van den Heuvel Rijnders
Joost van den Heuvel Rijnders (1975) started practicing Vipassana meditation in 1995. From the moment of getting acquainted until now, Joost experiences meditation as a form of coming home. The silence, reflection, friendly and mild attitude, the experience of inner space are valuable aspects. In the Netherlands he did many retreats under the guidance of different teachers. After his studies he left for Asia and meditated intensively for three years in Burma and Nepal.
As a teacher of Buddhist philosophy and vipassana, Joost is associated with the Dhamma in-depth course and various mindfulness training institutes. The motivation for teaching comes from confidence in the beneficial effects of meditation, both for the practitioner and for society.
As a mindfulness trainer, speaker, teacher of Buddhist philosophy, Joost has worked for the Center for Mindfulness, Cinema, University of Twente, Saxion University of Applied Sciences, various People's Universities, rehabilitation center Het Roessingh, GGNet and Rijksmuseum Twente.
