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.

We look forward to meeting you! - Tantric breathingHouse of the beloved, Brussels€20.00
When you really look for me,
you will see me instantly —
you will find me in the tiniest house of time.
Kabir says: Student, tell me, what is God?
He is the breath inside the breath.Kabir
In this immersive workshop, we use the breath—our most intimate and continuous companion—as a gateway to presence, ecstasy, and inner transformation. Inspired by the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism and Tantric Shaivism, we engage in dynamic breathing and gentle touch to awaken the subtle body and shift our sense of self.
Through cycles of expansion and contraction, stillness and intensity, we begin to dissolve habitual tensions, alter our body image, and activate the energetic channels and centers that hold both blockages as well as our most vital energies and potentials.
This is not a performance or a technique to master, but an invitation to explore breath as prayer, sensation as a guide, and the body as a doorway to our innermost truth
No prior experience with tantra or breathwork is required—just curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to be moved.
