what is House of the beloved?
At House of the Beloved, we're reimagining what it means to live, learn, and love. As a contemporary, monastic community grounded in the concept of "being different together," we explore new approaches to relationships, parenting, counseling, teaching, and community-building. Want to learn more?
We're dedicated to helping you become absolutely free. Our transformative practices support you in finding deep connection by expressing your own way of being human.
Join us at our urban mountain top in the center of Brussels.

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