Creating a Place of Peace in a Turbulent World

Whether you have been attending classes for many years or have only recently discovered KMC Kent, we warmly invite you to join us for this special afternoon.

While work on our new permanent home is already underway, this is the first opportunity for our wider community to come together and discover the vision behind the project—to hear the story so far, explore the plans, visit the building site, and discover how each of us can help create something truly extraordinary.

For centuries, Canterbury has been a place where people have come seeking meaning, inspiration, and spiritual nourishment. Today, in a world that often feels fast-paced, uncertain, and increasingly disconnected, many people are searching for peace, purpose, connection, and authentic happiness.

Our vision is to create a permanent Centre for Meditation, Learning and Community—a place of peace where people can discover inner peace, build meaningful connections, and develop greater resilience, wisdom, and compassion.

Rooted in an unbroken lineage of meditation and wisdom spanning over 2,500 years, the centre will share practical methods, open to everyone, regardless of faith or background, to help people find authentic happiness and meet life's challenges with confidence and compassion.

Located in the heart of Canterbury, the centre will become a welcoming hub serving communities across the whole of Kent and beyond. It will strengthen and support our growing community in Canterbury, Ashford, Folkestone, Maidstone, Rochester, Sevenoaks, West Kent, and further afield. Through an expanded programme of classes, courses, family activities, community events, retreats, outreach, and livestreamed teachings, these authentic methods will become more accessible than ever before, ensuring that people can benefit wherever they live.

Most importantly, this is an invitation to be part of something truly meaningful.

Together, we have an opportunity to create a place where people can discover inner peace, authentic happiness, wisdom, and compassion for generations to come.

Meet friends old and new, enjoy refreshments, connect with the community, and learn more about the project.

James Baskerville, KMC Kent's Resident Teacher, Project Lead and Architect, will share the story behind the project, the vision for our new permanent home, and how it will benefit people across Kent and beyond for generations to come.

Discover the many ways you can help bring this vision to life—through fundraising, volunteering, sharing professional skills, making a donation, introducing potential supporters, or simply helping spread the word. Every contribution, however great or small, will help create a lasting legacy for future generations.

Visit the building site in small groups and experience the exciting potential of KMC Kent's future home.

A place where people can pause, reconnect with what matters most, and discover authentic happiness from within.

A place where timeless wisdom continues to transform lives.

A place where friendships are formed, communities flourish, and future generations can discover lasting peace.

This is a free event. Please reserve your place in advance via Eventbrite so we know how many people to cater for.

If you would like to contribute to the refreshments, we would be delighted if you could bring a cake, savoury dish, or another snack to share.
