Learning Village 2025 : A Unique Journey into Simplicity and Connection
July 08 (2 PM) – July 12 (10 AM) at ATELIERect (Zulte, Belgium)
"What can we learn from spending time together living in simplicity on the land?"
This is the question we will carry with us during the Learning Village.
More than just an event, the Learning Village is an invitation to step into a temporary community – a village of learning and living in harmony with nature and one another. Surrounded by the beauty of a green landscape, foodforest and vegetable garden, we will explore the art of self-organization, resilience, and joy in simplicity.
Together, we’ll create a space of shared care, quiet reflection, and meaningful connection. Through moments of stillness, collective learning, and engaging practices, you’ll be surprised by what emerges from this immersive experience. The Learning Village is a space to reconnect – with yourself, with others, and with the land.
Live simply on the land and discover the gifts of presence and mindfulness.
Participate in meaningful dialogue, practices of self-organization, and possibly hands-on activities such as bread baking, working in the vegetable garden and food forest, creating sound bells, crafting jewelry, playing Flow Game…
Experience the joy of shared care, creative co-creation, and quiet reflection.
Make a lot of fun
