Hi @reeflings,
There is no good moment to tell you this but Caro and I decided not to continue the adventure The Reef. To explain you a little bit our situation, we are not feeling well lately. The Reef is bringing us more stress than joy so we had to take a selfish decision (to quote) and take care of us.
It won’t be a surprise to tell you that we are super sad to leave you (yes we cried a lot (still do)), to leave some friends. Friendship is for ever so we are sure that we will still see each other.
We can only which you the best. You are on track, The Reef is soon going to be built.
Our door will remain open for a good chitchat, for more explanations, for a great moment of sharing over a good meal or a drink,…
Take care of yourself,
Caro & Quentin

Was not the approval supposed to be today ? 
Otherwise : Yeeeeeeay ! 
There was an online consent for the applications that we received at the beginning of last week, and today for the more recent ones

That comes as a shock 
Really really sad to see you go, and would really like to talk about it with you…
I have to say I still have it in my head I can make you change your minds, but my less emotional brain respects your choice and (if I’m not successful 
) might be able to help the other part accepting what is I guess…
And of course hoping to see you again and again whatever happens!!
With love

Yeey ! So happy to be let in to the Reef world (under water has always been my favourite place :)), even though I’ve only met some of you briefly. Looking forward to change that!

Hello everyone!
I know this message was already passed at the full members meeting, but we want to write here too. Koen and I have discussed extensively during our holidays and we have decided not to continue with the Reef. The main reasons are that 1) we do not feel that we have any extra time/mind space at the moment to engage in a meaningful way with ongoing activities, and this is likely not to get better once the baby is there 2) there are too many practical uncertainties in our lives (kids, work, current housing, schools, always to be aligned with 2 ex-partners…) to be able to decide in the following months whether we would join the Reef as full members.
That being said, we truly enjoyed meeting you and being part of this project for a little while - it really impressed us and made us dream. We will continue to plan our communal living concept at another pace, and will be watching from the sideline how the Reef evolves…We hope other opportunities will arise when we are ready.
We wish you the best of luck, we thank you for letting us into your world, and hopefully see you around!
Koen and Tinne

Thank you so much for letting us know Chris! I’m really looking forward to getting to know you all better and to take part in more meetings and activities upon my return from Malaysia in August.

Very sad to see you go @Tinne and @Koen ! Would have liked to get to know you better and do this together!
But also very understandable, I don’t even know how you managed to be as involved as you have been!
Hope to see you around, and best wishes with everything!

Hello dear Reeflings,
Most of you already knew, I will not continue the Reef adventure. The reasons are mainly financial and combined to possibily moving abroad. Nevertheless, contrary to one year ago when it felt a bit like breaking up (not seeing eachother anymore after having spent so much time together), I want you to know that, once you’ll be settled and more relaxed time-wise, I will be super happy to meet again. I will, no matter what, always be coming back to Brussels <3
Love to you and thanks for the moments together <3
