    Description

    Hello!

    We are a shared house of 9 people located in Brussels. We live in a large, spacious, and welcoming home designed for collective living and shared projects.
    We live as a community: each day, one person cooks for the whole group, and we regularly share collective moments. We also organize events open to our friends, such as political reading groups, clothing swaps, and more.

    Among ourselves, we also enjoy organizing activities like dance sessions (on Sunday mornings), board game nights, and film screenings.
    -
    👥 Who are we?

    We are a very diverse group, including:

    - several musicians (piano, violin, bass, flute, guitar)
    - people interested in spirituality (modern Buddhism, yoga, meditation)
    - people passionate about art, photography, video, IT, permaculture, reading, and politics (radical left)

    And most importantly, we live with Chaton, our 8-month-old dog (American Staff × Belgian Malinois mix), who is very gentle and affectionate 🐶

    🏡 Life in the house

    We all have quite busy lives, so the house can sometimes be calm, sometimes lively — but there is always someone around.
    You are of course welcome to join our activities, with no pressure at all.
    -
    🛏️ Workaway hosting:

    We regularly have rooms available for stays of one week or more.

    Several of us have already used Workaway, and we would now love to host people who want to discover Brussels and Belgium.
    -
    🌈 Our living values:

    We make sure everyone feels safe and respected. We have a shared framework with guidelines such as:

    - no racist, sexist, transphobic, fatphobic, LGBTQIA+-phobic, ableist, or generally discriminatory behavior
    - respect for everyone’s dietary choices
    -open communication (avoiding unspoken tensions)
    - respect for personal space and need for solitude
    -being mindful of noise in the evening and respecting others’ sleep
    -keeping shared spaces clean

    We will take time to explain this framework and also listen to your boundaries so we can respect them.

    🍽️ Food :
    - Shared dinners are vegan 🌱
    - Other meals are individual and flexible (you can tell us what you need)
    - We partly source food through a solidarity network of farmers and a cooperative

    If you’re looking for a human, collective, and lively experience, you are very welcome to join us 💛
