The House of Nonduality A living place for silence, inquiry and encounter.
Forms can change. What remains is a longing for slowness, depth and genuine encounter. The House of Nonduality creates space to look attentively at experience, consciousness, suffering and the question of what we truly are. Not as a finished system, but as a living inquiry. The initiative takes shape in Leuven through the work of Pieter Abts.
Nonduality points to the insight that reality does not truly fall apart into a separate “I” here and a world out there. It is not a belief to adopt, but an invitation to examine in direct experience where that separation can actually be found — and what remains when we no longer take it for granted.
The new direction of the House resonates with the Daoist notion of wu wei: acting without forcing. This does not mean passively waiting or leaving everything to chance, but listening before acting and giving form only when content, place and moment genuinely come together.
The House may take shape in a text, a talk, a conversation, a walk, an evening of poetry or a day together. That form is not fixed in advance and need not be repeated according to a monthly rhythm. It serves what calls to be explored or shared at that moment.
A house is a place of arrival. You do not have to prove anything there. You can enter, take a seat, listen, read, speak, walk or be still. Its different rooms are not separate programmes, but doorways into the same open space for attention and inquiry.
Not to get somewhere else, but to see more clearly what is already here.
