New audio label launches a ‘quiet revolution’: Mayana Meditations

[On June 3, No Mask Media launches its first production: Mayana Meditations. The new independent podcast label was founded by Manon van der Knaap-Hartig, known for her work in building podcast portfolios at BNR and DPG Media, two leading Dutch commercial media organizations. With No Mask Media, she shifts focus to the next phase: intentional, meaningful audio.

The weekly English-language series embraces silence, authenticity, and sensory calm — a deliberate contrast to the noise of constant opinions, information, and self-improvement narratives.

“People want to simply be, without masks,” says Van der Knaap-Hartig. “When nothing has to be suppressed, things start to move.”

The voice of the podcast is Mayana: a voice alchemist and international speaker with over 20 years of experience in consciousness work. She has worked with thousands across the globe and shared stages with figures such as Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, and Masaru Emoto.

“We are chronically overstimulated,” says Mayana. “This podcast is a gentle prompt to reconnect with presence — beneath the pressure to constantly improve.”

For Brands: Less Noise, More Resonance

Mayana Meditations fits within a broader shift toward slower, purpose-driven content. For brands, it offers a space to align with values like presence and calm — qualities increasingly scarce in overstimulated environments.

“In a saturated media landscape, relevance often lies in restraint,” says Van der Knaap-Hartig. “When brands prioritize calm and authenticity, they show they’re listening, not just speaking.” The podcast offers media professionals and creative partners a format that’s intentional rather than attention-driven — short enough to fit modern lives, spacious enough to resonate.

The first four episodes go live on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 07:00 AM CEST. New episodes will follow weekly, every Tuesday, via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and through Acast.
