Memberships

Everyone is welcome at KMC Chicago. If you're interested in attending classes regularly, we invite you to become a member. Why become a member? Here are just a few of the benefits of a monthly membership:

​

  • Free attendance at all weekly classes and 30 minute meditations

  • Access to livestreaming of select weekly classes

  • Substantial savings over the pay-as-you-go option, with certain membership levels receiving partial or full discounts on retreats, half-day, full-day, and full-weekend events

  • Support the flourishing of Modern Buddhism in Chicagoland and throughout the world - your membership fees make our classes possible and support the creation of new Centers and Temples internationally

  • Commit to your spiritual growth by giving Buddha's teachings a prominent role in your life
     

We offer four membership levels. You can see the benefits and cost of each below. All levels include free drop-in classes and access to livestreaming. If you’re experiencing financial hardship, find out about our free resources.

For monthly members:

Manage, cancel, or make changes to your membership at any time by logging into your personal account.

Access classes, retreats, and events available by livestream for members. Sign-in required.

If you wish, you can also make an additional monthly contribution on top of your membership.
