Creating a Permanent Holistic Center for Embodied Development & Holistic Health
This Villa offers us the unique opportunity to grow something that is currently missing in Ghent: a stable, warm and professional space where bodyworkers, holistic therapists, facilitators and intimacy coaches can work alongside each other under one roof.
A Permanent Center for Embodied Development
Our long-term vision is to develop this into a permanent holistic center for embodied personal development, psychosocial wellbeing and quality of life. A place where people can release, learn, experience and embody things that often have no clear place in traditional healthcare, therapy or education.
We are building a new kind of fitness center: not one focused on muscles, performance or appearance, but on emotional resilience, relational and intimacy skills, body awareness and psychosocial health.
This space responds to a growing societal need: the lack of environments where adults can develop emotional, relational and bodily competence in a safe, low-threshold and embodied way. Especially in times of increasing isolation, stress and mental health challenges, this center can function as a preventive space that supports personal growth, embodiment and human connection.
By bringing diverse disciplines together under one roof, we want to create a shared space for prevention, embodied education, holistic health and meaningful personal development.
Who is this project calling?
To establish the Tribalys, we are bringing together a community of practitioners, patrons, and hands-on supporters.
1. Practitioners & Facilitators
We are looking for bodyworkers, somatic practitioners, intimacy guides, therapists, and teachers to join our curated House Membership.

2. Financial Supporters
We are looking for patrons who believe in this project and want to support its creation through monthly contributions or founding support.
Please note: Supporters are not investors in the legal or financial sense. We do not offer shares, ownership, or financial return (no ROI). This is a non-commercial patronage to create a professional home for embodiment.
3. Active Contributors
We are looking for structured operational assistance from dedicated helpers to support the house's infrastructure (gardening, hospitality, admin, and maintenance).
This is designed as a formal contribution for people who want to be closely involved in the ecosystem, in exchange for community integration and space perks.
