Locations for our 8-week courses

All our locations are carefully chosen on the criteria of atmosphere, warmth and the services they provide. We have been working with most of them since many years and are very grateful for our cooperation.

The Library Europe

The Library is a cosy co-working space in Brussels, close to Montgomery. It is located in a beautiful old Maison de maître with high ceilings, parquet floors and designed in the Danish "hygge" style by Swedish owner Anne-Sofie Rehfeld.

Brussels Mindfulness rents 'The Sky Room' for its courses, a stylish and vast meeting room at the top floor.

Delicious teas and water are provided for the sessions. The room is set up with a circle of chairs, but you can also bring your own meditation material if you prefer this.

Retreat locations

La Maison du Chemin des Roches

La Maison du Chemin des Roches is a beautiful venue located in the middle of the small village of Dongelberg in Wallonia, some 45 minutes from Brussels. The house is specially conceived for meditation retreats and has a beautiful meditation hall. Its vast garden is ideal for walking meditations or resting under the trees. We also use this location for the teacher training.

There are numerous beautiful walks in the surrounding fields. The gentle housekeeper Giles attends to all your needs so you can focus on relaxing. There are several double and some single rooms, which are distributed according to specific needs. Showers and bathrooms are shared.

The cooks Philippe and Mark create tasty dishes from the vegetables grown in the garden. When the weather is nice, we will be eating on the terrace and when it is chilly, there is a fireplace in the dining room. Teas and coffee are available throughout the retreat.

La Maison du Chemin des Roches is a true haven of peace to resource and connect deeply with like-minded people.

Het Verblijf

Het Verblijf is a beautiful 200 year-old farm in Sint Martens Lennik, just 20 minutes from Brussels. It is a haven of peace in Flemish Pajottenland, surrounded by sheep and fields. The gentle hosts, Inge and Hugo – who are both passionate yogis – have restored the complex in a very authentic and 100% energy neutral way.

Around the farm, there are many beautiful walks though the fields. One of our favourites is a 7 km walk to the beautiful castle of Gaasbeek, which we generally do in silence in order to tap into all our senses on the way.

The shared bedrooms, featuring new ventilation units, are comfortable and have luxurious private bathrooms. The food cooked with love by our hosts is organic and delicious. Teas and coffee are available throughout the retreat.

There is always free time to either walk alone or rest in the spacious grange, the cosy living room or on the terrace next to the pond.

Those who would like to prolong their retreat, can book an extra night at the B&B via inge@verblijf.be.

Address: Rosweg 54, 1750 Lennik

Monastère Notre-Dame d'Hurtebise

Since many years, we have the tradition of offering a summer retreat in this unique location. This active Benedictine convent is situated in the middle of nature in the Belgian Ardennes, close to Saint Hubert. The prestigious location features old buildings, a small chapel, a comfortable meditation hall and a huge dining hall.

The rooms are simple but comfortable and each have their own sink. The showers are shared. Residing within the old walls, you can feel the fruit of the concentration and contemplative practice of the nuns. They receive us with their love and care and if you wish, you can even participate in the chanting and prayers they practice five times a day.

Around the monastery are beautiful walks in the woods and fields, and the terrace in front is accessible to all with a wide view across the landscape.

We have our own building with a separate meditation hall and even a small cafeteria where you can enjoy coffee and tea throughout the day.

Address: Rue de Monastère, 6870 Saint-Hubert

This former monastery with its many halls and stairs has been converted into a training centre for all kind of mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing trainings. It is situated in the heart of Brussels, but once you enter its domain you will be astonished by the vast, tranquil and beautiful garden.

When the weather is nice, we do lots of outdoor practices to benefit from nature, and when it is cold, we enjoy the warmth of the building. There is coffee and tea during the breaks and freshly cooked vegetarian lunches are offered in the huge dining hall.
