WHAT IS MINDFUL MUSIC?
MINDFUL MUSIC is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands that connects music and mental health through a range of inspiring projects. Built on firsthand experience within the music industry, and a deep understanding of mental health challenges, the foundation aims to create meaningful change through creativity, awareness, and connection.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is simple: to encourage genuine connection and spread positivity. Through music, live events, and creative collaborations, we build spaces where people feel seen, inspired, and united.
In today’s society, there is a growing need for positive connection. Many people feel disconnected despite being constantly online. Our project responds to this by creating real-world moments of togetherness, where diverse communities can come together through shared experiences. By uplifting emerging talent and embracing cultural diversity, we foster understanding, creativity, and a renewed sense of belonging.
Together, we create more than events, we create meaningful connections.
OUR MOTIVATION
With over 15 years in the music industry as a booking agent, (festival) promoter, tour manager, and musician at heart, I’ve always given my all with one goal in mind: creating an environment where people can truly enjoy life and musicians receive the recognition they deserve.
I decided to give back in a different way, by creating a platform for both musicians and fans who are personally experiencing mental health challenges, or who know someone who is.
As I personally know what it’s like to deal with these issues, I felt it was important to create a space where others could find support, understanding, and connection through music.
