l’ avant-garde

l’avant-garde accompanies adults and adolescents that reason well to find themselves and their place in the world. From a pluralistic perspective, we welcome all existential quests and conflicts. Only in the deepest of our thoughts, when we dare to question everything, we recognize ourselves, and we allow our own way of being human to break through. 

L’avant-garde was the birthplace of House of the beloved, an incubator for reimagining what it means to live, learn, and love. As a contemporary, experimental monastic community grounded in the concept of “being different together,” we explore new approaches to relationships, parenting, counseling, teaching, and community-building.

Some intuitions that inspire this practice, you can find here.

We offer individual sessions (in vivo or through zoom) for adolescents and adults, and trainings in authentic presence, meditation, shadow work, and existential research.
