Mindful Library

Read, learn and come together. The Mindful Library is a place to quietly read a book and meet like-minded people. NEWConnective offers weekly guided meditations in the Mindful Library and in the quiet room. On top of that, a monthly Mindful Meetup takes place where we explore different themes and ways of meditating.

Surrounded by inspiring books, the Mindful Library offers a place for reflection, connection and discovery.

The platform for life's big questions

Delve into the philosophies behind meditation and mindfulness

Do you want more than just meditation and would you like to learn more about the philosophies behind it? In the Mindful Library, on the 12th floor of the Library Tower, you'll find hundreds of books on mindfulness, both physical copies (which you can read on the couches in the Mindful Library) and e-books.

Meditation and organising your own event

  • Meditation

    Meditation can offer people many things, whether it's a moment of calm in your day, or practicing staying more in the here and now, meditation can be a great way to engage in self-examination.

    Would you like to meditate more? But find it hard to get yourself to do it or would you rather meditate together?

    NEWConnective organizes weekly meditations. On Mondays and Wednesdays we meet for a guided meditation of 20-30 minutes.
    The meditations take place in the Stilteruimte (HG 1A-53).

    Stay informed by joining the Silence Room and the Mindful Library WhatsApp group.

  • Organise something yourself in the Mindful Library

    Do you want to organise something around meditation or mindfulness yourself, or are you already organising something but looking for help or a suitable space? The Mindful Library is for anyone looking for a community to share your findings around meditation with. Come along during one of the meditations or a Mindful Meetup or get in touch at newconnective@vu.nl

    Or get in touch by joining the Silence Room and Mindful Library WhatsApp group.
