Jocelyn de Kwant

Hi, I’m Jocelyn. I am a journalist, writer and all-round editor. Since 2008 I specialize in writing about mindfulness, creativity and simplifying life. My articles are published in Flow Magazine, an international award-winning magazine, based in the Netherlands. In 2018 my first book was published, with illustrations from Sanny van Loon. In England, it’s called “Creative Flow. A Year in My Mindful Live” (Leaping Hare Press); in the USA the title is “In the Moment”; in Germany, you’ll find it as “My Mindful Flow”. It’s also published in the Netherlands (Altamira), France (Marabout) and South-Korea, Poland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Spain.

In this little book, you’ll find 365 ways to be mindful. I use creativity, writing, reflecting, playing and even eating as tools to be in the moment. My mission in life is simple: to get people to leave the hamster wheel and help them to start doing things that will make them less stressed.

PS. I’m Dutch, I live in Amsterdam with my husband Robin, my kids Suzy and Milo and our adopted dog Bientot. In my free hours, I like to draw, read and work in my garden. My office is located in Midwest, an old school building in Amsterdam-West De Baarsjes.
