Singing circle

Welcome to join us for devotional singing, dancing, making music. You can also bring some songs and melodies.

House of the Beloved survives thanks to the generosity and support of our friends and visitors. Living on donations is an ancient monastic tradition. It makes us independent from the government and the free market. This allows us to seek and embody what is true without compromise, and keeps our activities and the connections we forge as the goal, not a means to an end. Thank you for your contributions.

OPTION 1: Monthly contribution as a co-tenant:

You pay a monthly amount (between €1 and €1500) to account IBAN BE55 7340 5023 9844, BIC/SWIFT: KREDBEBBXXX, STIJN SMEETS, Emile Bockstaellaan 22, 1020 Laken (Brussels). PayPal: (coming up).

Co-tenants can participate in all activities, residencies, and lectures at severely reduced rates. From a contribution of €50 onwards, you become a member of House of the Beloved non-profit and gain access to this bank account, which is exclusively used to pay the rent. (Why this is advantageous for us: contributions from co-tenants are not considered as our income. This keeps us below the €25,000 threshold and allows us, as a small non-profit, to offer our activities VAT-free, making them more affordable.)

OPTION 2: Monthly contribution via the non-profit:

You pay a monthly amount (starting from €1) to account IBAN BE54 7370 7190 1897, BIC/SWIFT: KREDBEBBXXX, House of the beloved vzw, Emile Bockstaellaan 22, 1020 Laken (Brussels) (with the reference “gift HOTB”).

The amount you pay can be deducted from the expenses related to the activities, residencies, or lectures in which you participate. This deduction applies only to the costs associated with the instructor’s fee and does not cover expenses for food and accommodation. An invoice can be provided upon request.
