Your attention is sacred.
Where you place it, life grows.

WHY Bīj EXISTS
The Attention Crisis
Our attention has become one of the world's most contested resources.
Bīj creates a place where it doesn't need to be captured, measured or monetized.
The Forgotten Relationship
Inner practice was never separate from the living world.
Bīj brings attention back into relationship with body, season, Earth and one another
The Missing Bridge
Bīj connects daily inner practice with tangible restoration — turning small acts of awareness into something that reaches beyond the screen.
MADE FOR THOSE WHO
Feel the pull to return.
For people who want to meditate without being measured.
For people who want reflection without a social feed.
For people who feel inner practice and care for the Earth belong together.
For people carrying stories, wisdom and memories worth preserving.
For people who don't need another app asking for their attention.
Bīj is not about doing more. It is a place to return to what matters.
बीज
Bīj is Sanskrit for seed.
A bīja is the seed syllable — the smallest sound a practice can grow from.
Bīj begins the same way: one quiet act of attention, planted daily.
Bīj exists to restore the relationship between attention and the world
— one breath, one seed, one tree at a time.
What grows here grows quietly.
BUILT DIFFERENTLY
Technology that asks for less.
No streaks.
Your practice isn't a score.
No feed.
Nothing here is designed to keep you scrolling.
No badges.
Awareness doesn't need gamification.
No advertising.
Your attention is not the product.
No follower counts.
The Field is about presence, not performance.
Real-world restoration.
The practice contributes to something beyond the screen.
THE LARGER VISION
Awareness takes root.
Bīj begins within, but it does not end there.
We believe awareness deepens our relationship with the living world.
That is why restoration is not an addition to Bīj—it is part of the practice.
Bīj begins with 200 trees, every Founding Membership adds one more, and from the Equinox we commit to at least one tree every day—plus another for every 108 hours of shared practice.
Tree planting is carried out in partnership with veritree.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked
-
Most meditation apps are built around content consumption, streaks, productivity, or stress reduction. This is being created from a different foundation. It is not simply a library of meditations. It is a living practice system.
There are also several unique features being developed that we have not revealed publicly yet. These are part of what make this offering unlike anything currently available in the meditation or wellness space. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, we’ll begin sharing these secret features with our early community first.
-
Our aim is to have Bīj arrive to the App Store on September 22, 2026 — the autumn equinox.
-
Before September 22, 2026, Bīj is offering a limited amount of 500 Founding Lifetime Memberships for $49 CAD — one payment for lifetime access to the core Bīj practice. Only 500 Founding Memberships will be available, and the offering will close once they are claimed or when Bīj officially launches on the Fall Equinox, September 22.
From September 22 onward, the Founding Lifetime Membership will no longer be offered. Bīj will be available through our standard memberships: $9.99 CAD/month or $108 CAD/year.
You’re welcome to experience Bīj during the pre-launch period before deciding whether Founding Membership is right for you.
-
Yes. Community is an essential part of the vision.
The app is being created not only as a personal practice, but as a shared field — a way for people to return to awareness together through meditation, reflection, nature connection, wisdom lineage, and planetary care.
In the first phase, community will begin through shared intention, collective practice and the experience of contributing to something larger than the individual.
After the app launches in the App Store, our intention for next phase is to open pathways for in-person connection — including gatherings, circles, retreats and local practice communities.
At its heart, this is not only an app.
It is a seed for a living community. -
Bīj is being created by Matthew and Nicolette, two founders united by a shared commitment to awareness, meaningful practice, sound, community, and ecological restoration.
Matthew leads the vision, strategy, product development, and growth of Bīj, while Nicolette brings her experience in sound, ceremony, contemplative practice, and creative direction.
They are supported by a growing tribe of experienced mentors, advisors, and collaborators who have generously offered their guidance. Some have chosen to remain anonymous at this stage, allowing the work itself to take root before stepping forward publicly.
Together, the team is building Bīj with care, integrity, and the belief that personal transformation can become a meaningful force for collective and ecological renewal.
-
Tree planting is part of Bīj’s wider practice of reciprocity with the living world. We have partnered with veritree to turn that commitment into measurable, transparent restoration.
Bīj begins with a founding commitment of 200 trees. Every Founding Membership adds one more, with an initial intention of 700 trees by September 22, 2026. From the Equinox launch onward, Bīj will commit to at least one tree every day, with one additional tree for every 108 hours of shared meditation practice across the community.
Through veritree, restoration is supported by a verification process designed to follow planting beyond the initial act of putting a tree in the ground. Planting partners collect ground-level evidence and project data, including geotagged information through veritree’s technology, alongside other monitoring sources. The data is then reviewed for completeness, consistency and accuracy, with planting sessions moving through multiple levels of verification. veritree also supports ongoing monitoring so that tree survivability and the development of restoration sites can be followed over time.
This distinction matters to Bīj: a tree committed is not automatically presented as a tree verified. As restoration records are confirmed, our community will be able to see that progress transparently.
On September 22, 2026, Bīj will also launch its own dedicated veritree Impact Hub. This public page will allow our community to follow the growing impact of the Bīj forest through verified tree totals, restoration information and available impact data and project updates as they are reported through veritree. veritree’s existing Impact Hubs are designed to make restoration progress visible, including verified planting activity and broader environmental and community impact metrics where available.
The intention is simple: awareness cultivated within Bīj should extend beyond the screen and participate in the restoration of the living world.
-
No. The app is rooted in awareness, meditation, nature connection, and wisdom traditions, but it is not tied to one religion or belief system. It honours many lineages while remaining open, inclusive, and experiential.
-
Bīj launches first in Canada on iOS and Android platforms.
The plan is to launch in the USA and South Africa in 2027.
-
Bīj is still growing its roots, and there are many ways to help nourish what is taking shape.
Practicing with Bīj, sharing it with someone you care about, offering thoughtful feedback, or simply telling others about the project all help this work grow.
For those who feel called to support Bīj beyond membership, we have also created a Reciprocity page. It is a place for those who wish to contribute directly to the continued development of Bīj — helping us deepen the practice, care for the experience we are building, and continue bringing its wider mission into the world.
There is never an expectation to give more. Your presence and participation are already meaningful.
