De eerste kinderdagen van dit schooljaar gaan door op zondag 4 oktober en woensdag 11 november! Kinderen van 3 t.e.m. 12 jaar zijn van harte welkom om mee te komen spelen, ontdekken, zingen en vieren. We starten om 10u en eindigen om 16u. Iedereen brengt zijn eigen lunchpakket mee.
Komt je kind graag eens kennismaken en/of meedoen? Geef dan zo snel mogelijk de naam en leeftijd van je kind(eren) door via [email protected]! Wij kijken er alvast ontzettend naar uit!
House of the beloved is gebaseerd op donaties. Je bepaalt dus zelf hoeveel je voor deze dag wil of kan bijdragen.

> He doesn't build a path with either one thing or another. What does he do then? Step by step he follows Providence... and only relies on the infallible, which is the present moment. - Madame Guyon

Dear beloved,

Are you searching for GxD and/or do you want to learn how to pray and worship? Read the excerpt below to get a taste of our embodied worship training.

*Question*: Could you tell us how God's call made itself heard to you?

*Answer*: We don't get into this kind of formulation here. The words God, Life, etc, take us away from availability. It's all outside.

That which happens doesn't deserve our attention. Only that which doesn't happen, that which does not depend on any cause, is interesting to us. That which does not happen cannot be named, doesn't have a past and cannot be part of memory.

When I realize that any direction I follow is always based on memory, and that all that could be grasped of a God could only be projection, the urge to experience or to formulate anything whatsoever leaves me. There remains a non-experience without any personal element. Nothing happens, only listening.

(Excerpt from _”Let the moon be free”_ by Eric Baret)

The mythosomatic and worship, what is it and why does it matter?

Dear beloved,

Would you be interested in joining our _school of the night_ and practising *dream yoga* together?

We will practise becoming lucid in our dreams. Awareness of dreaming opens up a whole range of possibilities, including flying, walking through walls, and time travelling. However, this is just the gateway to dream yoga, whose real goal is to recognise the constructed nature of our experience, both in the dream and in waking life.

Are you interested?

We are on whatsapp and signal, but don't share any links here to avoid a chatbot invasion. Best go to our website and message us: www.houseofthebeloved.eu

May you be well.

> How does prayer and worship look like when you neither want to regress into naivety nor dry up in scepticism?

Dear beloved,

In a previous message we wrote:

More and more people are asking questions about Gxd - the nameless, the ultimate, the transcendent, Jesus, God, Shiva, Allah, Kālī, Bhairava, the silence with many names, and more - and about how to pray.

After postmodernism destabilised the major religions and their concepts of God (by showing that they are culturally constructed, linguistically mediated, and never self-evident) many people liberated themselves from these often oppressive structures. Yet a hunger for meaning and transcendence remained.

But how does worship look like when you neither want to regress into naivety nor dry up in scepticism?

Because so many people resonated with this quest, *we are starting an embodied worship cycle for all who search for “Gxd” and want to learn how to pray, and for (mystical) atheists in search of the numinous*.

We start Thursday October 1st with a free online introduction

Hope you can join.

May you be well.

> What can be given to me is of no interest. I’m only interested in what no one can give me or take away from me. Everything else is imagination. - Eric Baret�

Dear beloved,�

�The Crazy Wisdom meditation immersion is a five month deep dive in ideas, behaviours, and meditations that free the world from your projections (also referred to as awakening). Through retreats, bi-weekly online practices and teachings, weekly paired sharing, and individual feedback sessions you'll be initiated into the practice of "being different together". With a small group of dedicated meditators, we will create the conditions for an experience of awakening.

This immersion is transspiritual. That means that all life orientations are welcome and there is no adherence to a dogmatic truth or sacred authority. That being said, the views and practices we will work with mostly come from Tibetan Buddhism (Mahamudra and Dzogchen) and Ta***ic Shaivism.

We look forward to being with you.
�Finally going nowhere.
�May you be well.

Liminal has been enormously valuable in this first month. It has shown me that my desire to live to the fullest can actually stifle joyful relaxation and deep intimacy; it has made devotion more clear and accessible; it has made some relationships - though sometimes more difficult - unquestionably more real; and most of all, it has made me more aligned, embodied and present.
- Joshua, current participant

Dear beloved community,

From October through June a small, mixed group of young adults (18 to 30) will take up residence in House of the beloved. Liminal aims to support the search for and embodiment of what you consider to be sacred or valuable (the beloved, GxD, presence, …), by being different together as an act of rebellion.

Do you resonate with any of these?

•⁠ ⁠The world seems not to fit me
•⁠ ⁠I have a lot of existential questions and few people to share them with.
•⁠ ⁠I'm curious about life in a contemporary monastery.
•⁠ ⁠I'm a serious existential seeker and want to deepen my spiritual path.
•⁠ ⁠Why doesn't anybody talk about meta-modernism?
•⁠ ⁠I'm in my quarter-life crisis.
•⁠ ⁠I just finished my studies and have no clue what to do next.
•⁠ ⁠I just traveled around the world and still feel lost.
•⁠ ⁠I started my first job and am clueless about what it's all for.
•⁠ ⁠Can I be spiritual and a free thinker?

If this is you, come and join us. More info: https://www.houseofthebeloved.eu/liminal

Does this resonate but you’re older than 30? Take a look at our residential programs:

We look forward to welcoming you here.

A transformational residential year at House of the beloved for young adults between 18 and 30.

27/08/2026

Dear beloved,

Do you know anyone between age 18 and 30 who is in transition, wandering, a bit lost, longing for deep connection, or just in need for more existential challenge? Maybe you can point them to *The Inner Frontier*.

*The Inner Frontier* is a program for young adults (ca 18–30) who are seeking themselves, their place in the world, and/or real, deep connections with fellow seekers. Through *six weekends spread between October and June* it aims to *increase our self-understanding, sharpen our thinking and relational skills, and deepen the connection with our bodies, with others, and with nature*. We imagine a mixed group of approximately 10 participants.

This is not a workshop. It is a gateway to a deeper and more authentic way of living.
