Hi there!
I am taking a 9 month break from work starting september to explore a way of living that is more connected to nature. I'd be happy to learn more about gardening and preserving food.

Description

Hi there!

My name is Ruben. I'm 29 years old.
I live and work in the vibrant student town of Ghent, Belgium, where people are always complaining about the weather 😁

Like most Ghentians i am open minded and into arts (both creating and experiencing)
I am also lucky to be a part of the lively dance and theater community that brings a lot of joy, warmth and togetherness to the city.

I lead a simple life. I have a part time job as a home textiles retailer which allows me to have enough free time to do what i love: painting, writing, dancing, walking and also just BEING😌
Most of my time, i spend alone. I'm quite a solitary person and enjoy the stillness of being with myself.
Nevertheless, I do very much enjoy company and conversation though, over a cup of tea, sharing a meal or walking. I like listening to your life anecdotes.
My preferred way of connecting with other people is through working or dancing together, reading the same book or sharing another activity that requires both our effort and attention.

In my upbringing practical knowledge was much higher praised than factual knowledge, both my parents didn't go to school, but they both had very creative minds and were excellent problem solvers.
Like them, I'm not very booksmart, don't read or watch the news and know very little about politics. I think i'm still trying to figure out a way to relate this buzzing, loud world without feeling overwhelmed by it.

I do read a lot, mostly books in the psychology section or fiction novels.

Favorite self help books:
A new earth by Eckhart Tolle
Addicted to love by Jan Geurtz
You are the happiness you seek by Rupert Spira

Favorite fiction:
The plains by Federico Falco
Mr Gwynn by Allessandro Barrico
Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

i'm very much in search of a way of living that is more rooted, more connected to nature.

What else:

I value good communication and kindness
i'm a motivated, conscientious worker
I'm very interested in non-duality and living slow.
I might be somewhat addicted to baked goods 🍰🙃
Raised as a city person but feel very much at home in the mountains 🏔
