Pricing and membership

Do I need membership to attend the centre?

Not at all.

Nobody is turned away due to lack of funds, all prayer sessions (pujas) are free and we also hold free classes each week. If there’s a paid class you want to attend but can’t afford, just let us know at reception.

Everyone – with membership or not – is also welcome to use the meditation room for free outside class time as a quiet area to relax, reflect, or even read a book.

Everyone is welcome.

You can access the classes on a pay-as-you-go basis or with membership, depending what works better for you.

With pay-as-you-go, you can attend classes and pay for each one individually, and you can also book a series of classes for a discounted rate, eg 3/4/5 week blocks.

If you attend regularly, the most economical way to enjoy the classes is by membership – you can do this online by following the link below. Membership is paid monthly and can be cancelled at any time.

KMC Leeds is a registered charity and your class fee / membership directly supports our activities to teach meditation across the city and surrounding area, keeping it accessible for everyone.

How does it work?

If you sign up using the links below, a direct debit is taken monthly. Alternatively you can also pay by standing order (preferred option) – if you are able to do this, please write to info@meditationinleeds.org for the details. You can cancel at any time and there is no joining fee.

All KMC Leeds income is dedicated to the development of peace throughout the world. All funds raised through our activities go to the International Temples Project (ITP) through whose kindness we have been able to establish our beautiful meditation centre in Leeds.
