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).
