The Commons Hub isn’t your typical spot to just plug in your laptop and get to work. We put a lot of care into creating good vibes—sharing lunches, tending to the space together, and hosting plenty of community-led events. And now, we’ve welcomed an extra dose of joy: an adorable new, rather hairy, member has joined the Hub family! Come over and meet Lapinou, a Flemish Giant rabbit (or Vlaamse Reus in Dutch) - this gentle giant is already stealing hearts and adding even more warmth to our community. He is always up for some fresh greens , and very often for a cuddle too 🐰🧡

The July program is looking fantastic! We had a great response to the call in our last newsletter, and we’re excited to be contributing to summer in Brussels with a wide variety of experiences. Huge thanks to members Kata, Tente, Jana, Mara, Judith, Leen, Inge, Catherine, Manuel, Juliya, Cédric, and everyone else who got creative and offered something to the community and wider public.

That said—August could still use a little love and creativity. So here’s a warm invitation to all the creative spirits out there: if you’d like to test a workshop, organise a movie night, host a meetup, or simply experience the space, we’d love to add you to the calendar. We’ll gladly support with promotion and logistics. It’s the perfect way to get a feel for the Commons Hub vibe.

We publish all events on this calendar. Feel very welcome to become a member and enjoy priority access for using the space and receive discounts on the events happening at the Commons Hub.

​Inspired by the tradition of the summer Solstice we gather to pause, reflect, and honor the powerful turning points. The summer solstice in June invited us to celebrate growth, light, and the path we've walked — while gently opening space for what is yet to come. This is shift is what we will embrace at this workshop.

​In this special session, we’ll combine movement and drawing to connect to our body and soul. Through guided creative practices and a simple midsummer ritual, we’ll mark what we’re ready to release, acknowledge what we’ve become, and set intentions for the season ahead.

From that grounded place, we transition into non-conventional artistic exploration using action painting, mask making, body mapping, clay, and storytelling to connect with emotions, imagination, and inner voice.
