Have the rates been adjusted?
As of February 14, 2024, our membership rates have increased slightly:
- Basic rate from 65 to 70 euros.
- Mid-rate from 88 to 95 euros.
- Ambassador rate from 170 to 185 euros.
This move was necessary due to general inflation that has increased the cost of living and running businesses, including ours. For example, the prices of technical applications and external services that we use have increased.
What happens to the extra income?
This adjustment helps us maintain the quality of our services. We continue to invest in technology, support, expanding our offering and supporting the Sangha/community.
Can I get help if the new rate is too high for me?
Money should never be an obstacle to participation. Therefore:
If it is not possible to pay the Basic rate, please contact Contact us so that we can come to a suitable appointment for you.
Because although we are an organization that incurs costs, we believe that money should never be the reason for not gaining access.
Will anything change in the offer?
No, we continue to offer the same quality and diversity in live meditation, lectures, courses and other services.
How can I provide feedback or get more information?
For questions or feedback you can always contact Team Support. We would like to hear from you.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support.

The sound of a gong or bell during a live session depends on a few factors:
- The local Zoom microphone settings at the attendant. For example, with Zoom an automatic noise reduction is active as standard, which makes loud background noises less audible. This means that the sound of a gong or bell is sometimes less fully audible.
- The type of gong or bell affects the volume and type of sound.
- The type of microphone used during the live session also affects the sound (volume and pitch).
Do you have other questions or comments about the gong or bell sound? Contact Team Support.
With a Membership you can watch and share the Live Meditations and Live Lectures from 2 days onwards (but often earlier).
Although mindfulness has its roots in Buddhism, you don't have to be a Buddhist at all to practice mindfulness. The well-known American professor Jon Kabat-Zinn developed mindfulness training forty years ago by detaching the technique of meditation from the Buddhist context and making it accessible to Westerners. Religion is not involved in the training, but accessible meditation exercises, yoga and other ways to learn to live more consciously. Meanwhile, the MBSR (English: mindfulness-based stress reduction) and MBCT (English: mindfulness-based cognitive therapy) are very popular and fully accepted in the West.
Mindfulness refers to:
- The mindfulness training, developed to teach people to live more consciously and to deal with stress, thoughts and emotions differently.
The substantive line that we at 30NOW Following is a contemporary approach to Buddhist meditation. Central is the practice of mindfulness or attention: an acknowledging awareness of physical and mental experiences. Although there are differences in styles and content of the meditations offered, they all align with the principle of mindfulness. Meditations are also offered that can develop other qualities such as calmness, kindness and compassion.
