This week there was an intriguing story in the Flemish press about a group that wants to build a monastery for laymen / cohousing in Brussels.
They are more focused on religion and less on sustainability, but other than that I feel like they are kindred spirits.
As a result I reached out to them, and I offered them a copy of the Fiche Factory. Maybe they will send somebody to our presentation, maybe I’ll go to theirs (25/04), and maybe we’ll also meet up for coffee. We’ll see.
Fun fact: the author of the book found a lot of inspiration in the work of Saint Benedict, as did our own @alberto (see e.g. unHagiography: what modern-day social innovators can learn from the life and times of St. Benedict).
