The House
An open space to meet, create, chat, cook, eat, work, read, knit, dance, and be inspired!
Our Space
Everyone's welcome here to relax, meet new people, or share a meal. We run an open kitchen anyone can use, on free-will donations that help support the Section's work. It's also where our co-workers live, which is what keeps the place warm and lived-in rather than just a building. People from all kinds of cultures and backgrounds pass through every day, and there's almost always someone around to welcome you in.
The ground floor is a community space, open every day. Come use the wifi, cook a meal, make a coffee, or browse the free store. You'll find a common living room, kitchen and toilets, plus a terrace on the entrance and a quieter backyard to the back. The house sits just downhill from the Goetheanum, with a view over the valley toward Solothurn and Basel-Land.
