# A Warm Summer, a Vibrant Commons Hub *About rabbits 🐇, interesting summer promos & the upcoming summer program ☀️🔥* By [Commons Hub Brussels](https://paragraph.com/@commonshub_bxl) · 2025-07-08 #community, #commons, #regeneration, #brussels, #healing, #web3, #ai --- 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 🐰🧡 ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/81cf913e3d8892156d59622c8b557348.jpg) Lapinou and biggest fan Selma Call for more events at the Commons Hub ======================================= 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. ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/894644a04600f53029a97e629a4f68a0.png) [More info about our spaces here](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGlMcYOd1k/r77SqgcUAMu1bMGOd1Jp_Q/view?utlId=hcd10e2b9c2) Upcoming Events in July 🌤 -------------------------- We publish all events on this [calendar](https://lu.ma/commonshub_bxl).
