What we’re about
Welcome to the meetup group of House of the beloved, a residential center for embodied philosophy—an approach that focuses on lived experiences and how we relate to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
Our spaces, tools, and activities are designed to support participants in their search for what is real, helping them break through fears, vitalize their bodies, and explore what it means to be human.
At House of the Beloved, we are reimagining the ways we live, learn, and love. As a contemporary, experimental monastic community grounded in the concept of "being different together," we explore new approaches to relationships, parenting, counseling, teaching, and community-building.
We're dedicated to helping you become absolutely free. Our transformative practices encourage deep connection through the authentic expression of your own way of being human.
House of the Beloved is a transspiritual community, gathering around shared practices rather than shared beliefs. We blend the intellectual rigor of philosophy and science with the sensual experiences of spirituality and the creative expression of art.
We warmly welcome all journeyers, regardless of their life philosophies, traditions, religions, gender, or sexual orientation. Placing diversity and difference at our core, the communal life we propose is a “being-different-together and becoming-together as an expression of differences, as part of a shared process participated in differentially” (Manning & Massumi, 2014)
If you’re interested in becoming part of this community, you can join an activity, visit us, email us, add yourself to our whatsapp group, support us on our crowd funding page, or listen to our podcasts.

- Authentic relating & CirclingBoulevard Emile Bockstael, Bruxelles€15.00
Welcome seekers of deep connection!
Circling is a technology of self-exploration and relating that creates transparency and intimacy by exposing your inner experience with radical honesty to others. It combines 1) carefully noticing the elements that create your experience (e.g., sensations, thoughts, feelings), 2) taking ownership of them, and 3) exposing/disclosing them to others, without expecting any particular response. It’s a simple but radical practice, that can quickly lead to deep connection, authentic presence, and transformative self-insight.
Join these beginner sessions if you are searching for deep connection, and want to learn some basic techniques (from authentic relating and circling) that can support you. Activities may include meditations (to connect to yourself, your body and the other), structured dialogues (in pairs or small groups), exercises about sharing and owning your experience, and much more. There are no prerequisites for these sessions. Just show up as you are.
There’s a contribution of 15 euro.
