TEAL

Transition Eco Artistic Living: Conversion

The initiators of Made with Love Projects vzw have been developing projects for a better world for many years, such as Ecotopia, Belgium's first eco-house, or the Ecover factory in Westmalle, the world's first eco-factory. For six years now, we have also been organising the Body & Soul health festival, full of workshops on preventive health care and the art of living.

As an extension to our operations, we want to create a portable circular community centre where ecologically and socially innovative activities can take place all year round: the TEALcenter. Stakeholders can work together on various projects according to the principles of TEAL (wholeness, self-management and ecosystem thinking) and sociocracy. Climate-conscious young people can work together on emission-reducing initiatives. Companies can work together on a circular economy. Experiential workshops can be held in cooperation with local initiatives. Everyone can come and learn how to put the art of living into practice by relaxing better, eating healthier and living more environmentally friendly lives in connection.

We are convinced that in today's internet age where much communication takes place online, convenient physical places remain essential for bringing people together, learning, working together and transferring experiences. The flexibility and impact of a portable community centre cannot be overestimated. The possibilities are enormous!
