Surrounded by inspiring books, the Mindful Library offers a place for reflection, connection and discovery.
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 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, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays we meet for a guided meditation of 20-30 minutes.
On Mondays and Thursdays the meditations take place in the Stilteruimte (HG 1A-53) and on Tuesdays and Fridays in the meditation room of the Mindful Library (HG 12B-02).
