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

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.

We offer three membership levels. You can see the benefits and cost of each below.

All levels include free drop-in classes and access to livestreaming.
