About us
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 presence
Leuven, Frederik Lintsstraat 206, BEThe practice of authentic presence is about freely expressing and revealing yourself while being with others. Through this practice, you learn to let go of habitual patterns and conditioned responses, allowing you to form deeper, more genuine connections rooted in who you truly are.
## About the event
Authentic presence is a path of radical honesty. It creates a safe and supportive environment where you can look at yourself with fresh eyes. At the same time it often is fun, enjoyable, beautiful, and meaningful.
Ultimately, this practice leads to a closer connection with yourself and more meaningful relationships with others.
Join these beginner sessions to learn basic techniques from authentic relating and circling. Activities include meditations, dialogues, and exercises on sharing and owning your experience. No prerequisites—just come as you are!

Introduction to meditation
House of the beloved, Emile Bockstaellaan 22, Brussels, BE> “Now I’m a lot more mindful and aware. There’s less FOMO, less chasing highs, and less fearing the lows. It’s been truly liberating. Even though my ego resists from time to time, I can see how much positive change has come from it. Unlike other things I’ve tried, this isn’t outside of me, it’s about waking up to what’s inside. And that’s been a profound change for me.” - testimony meditation participant
Dear beloved,
The other day someone asked: why should we meditate? I answered: without a calm mind and deep self-insight, you make yourself and those around you suffer. How? Because you keep projecting your issues onto the world. Meditation helps you understand this mechanism. It frees you from self-inflicted misery, and it frees the world from your projections. What do you think?
This weekend we meditate together. You can still join: 15-17/5 registration: https://shorturl.at/5tCYe
For whom?
- You want to learn to meditate but don't know where to start
- You've been meditating for a while but feel stuck
- Spirituality is your life, yet you're still triggered by many things
- You're abiding in the "god realm" - well, you probably don't need it, right?
- You're completely lost in life
- You're a seasoned meditator wanting detailed instructions and clarity about how to wake up
- You want to learn to regulate your nervous system
May you be well.
