Find a class that's right for you

A typical class—which can be taken individually or as a series—consists of a relaxing guided meditation, teachings based on the meditation topic, and final meditation. Weekly classes usually range from 1 hour to 1.5 hours. At in-person classes, you can expect to meet both newcomers and experienced practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds and age ranges. You’re welcomed to sit in a chair or on a floor cushion.

We do not discriminate based on race, gender, background, age, religion, politics, sexual orientation, or otherwise — everyone is always welcome at MKBC and the other Centers around the world.
