what is House of the beloved? 

At House of the Beloved, we're reimagining what it means to live, learn, and love.

who are we?

Stijn, monk at house of the beloved

My life is completely dedicated to seeing through the illusions of the mind, so I can love without conditions and die without fear.

Out of a deep love for my lineages (Gnostic Christianity, Tantric Shaivism & Indo-Tibetan Buddhism) I am sharing my way of being human. Without any shiny degrees, titles or pontifical approval to take away a fear of being nothing. Just ... always right here.

inner sky

Inner Sky is a transformative meditation training spanning 6 months with 4 weekend gatherings. You practice concentration and deepen your self-insight with both silent and guided meditation (on a cushion). Then, you learn how to apply these insights and this quality of presence in daily life through embodied and relational meditation (in movement and connection with others).
