Making meditation accessible and personal for everyone. That is our mission.
Making meditation accessible and personal for everyone. That is our mission.
The substantive line that we at 30NOW following stems from 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 meditation style, all meditations follow the principle of mindfulness. Meditations are also offered that are complementary and develop other qualities such as calmness, kindness and compassion.
30NOW was founded by Dirk Wolbers and Joost van den Heuvel Rijnders and started on January 10, 2019.
It started with an online 30 Day Series that allowed you to experience the power of meditation in an accessible and personal way. It has been growing ever since 30NOW with more guides, offerings and styles to a personal online meditation platform for everyone.
The “30” stands for the 30 Day Series in which you will explore and experience meditation step by step. “NOW” stands for the present, the here and now. Of 30NOW train your mind to live in the present moment and avoid being overly concerned with the past and future. As a result, stressful emotions such as fear, hope, fear and expectations have less of a hold on you. When you live fully in the moment, you experience peace, acceptance, freedom, or happiness.
Embracing the richness and diversity of Buddhist traditions with their proven methods and styles.
The practical application of Buddhist meditation styles and their integration into everyday life. This requires an open and investigative approach.
Facilitating meditations and trying to make them accessible to everyone. This concerns young, old, newcomers and more experienced participants.
Creating an environment where participants can practice together, exchange experiences and thus support each other.
Together with a growing number of participants and supervisors, we create a more accessible and versatile meditation platform every day. We learn from the user experiences and with the financial contributions from the Membership we can further develop and grow the platform.

Have the rates been adjusted?
As of February 14, 2024, our membership rates have increased slightly:
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.

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.
