Our Retreat Rates
The London Buddhist Centre is committed to making the Buddha’s transformative teachings available to as many people as possible. That’s why all our regular classes are free of charge, and those who teach or support them do so voluntarily.
To be able to run retreats and maintain Vajrasana, we depend on the generosity of those who attend and need to ask for a certain amount when you book. By giving the full rate, you not only cover the basic costs of your own retreat – you also help us continue offering the conditions for growth to as many people as possible.
If the full rate is too much for you, we’d like to help. There are several ways we can make things more manageable:
Klarna or PayPal:
At checkout, you can choose Klarna or PayPal as your payment option, to spread the cost over three interest-free monthly payments.
Low Income Rate:
This option is available to anyone whose financial circumstances prevent them from being to attend at the full rate. We don’t ask for proof – just that you choose the full rate if you’re able to.
Bursary fund:
We have a bursary fund called the Ratnasambhava Fund. Generously supported by our community, it enables us to offer further support to help people to get on retreat. If you’re not in a position to give the low income rate, we may still be able to offer you a place for an amount that is within your means.
To explore this option, please call our bookings manager on 0208 70 999 78 (10am–5pm weekdays – leave a message if we don’t pick up), or email bookings@lbc.org.uk.
Before contacting us, please consider the amount you are able to contribute towards the retreat.
More information about payments and cancellations can be found on our Bookings Policy, here.
