After 12 years in London, Kagyu Samye Dzong finally opened the doors of its long term home at 15 Spa Road, London SE16 3SA on Sunday 20th June 2010.  We hope that everyone will find something helpful in our  new diverse Centre.

Learn to meditate

For those wanting to learn and practice meditation there are two beautiful meditation halls decorated in the Tibetan style. Weekly classes led by experienced teachers introduce the basic principles of meditation and help to get you started. Each week you can come and meditate at the Centre either when the meditation halls are not being used, or during one of our regular group meditation sessions.

Practice Buddhism

Each month traditional Buddhist practices for well being, health and world peace are completed by the resident ordained and lay community. You can join in with these prayers and group meditations. Texts are available in the shop and courses explaining the practices occur regularly throughout the year.

Find peace and well being

Not least in our tea room where you can find a space to wind down and relax with friends, or before a therapy treatment or meditation class.

Health treatments

Many people rely on the Centre to provide quality health treatments. We will hold monthly clinics by a Tibetan doctor, who uses traditional Tibetan methods and medicines to treat a wide variety of ailments. At Spa Road we have a suite of treatment rooms, and larger spaces for group activities such as Pregnancy Yoga, Martial Arts, and psychotherapy courses, conferences and much more. The Centre will provide the space for a weekly Community Clinic which will offer many alternative treatments by professional practitioners at a low cost. Treatments such as Acupuncture, Cranio Sacral, Homeopathey, Reflexology, Shiastsu, Indian Head Massage and much more will be available weekly during the daytime.

Volunteer at the Centre

Kagyu Samye Dzong London is run by volunteers. Volunteering at the Centre is a great way to get to know the Centre better and become a part of the community. You may have particular skills that you’d like to offer, or maybe you can commit to a rota and help in the shop or office each week. The Centre is always on the look out for cooks, and there is the never ending job of keeping the building clean and tidy. Look out for our volunteer days at 15 Spa Road and join in.
