Uma Kadampa Buddhist Centre is a peaceful space in the midst of the busy city of Carlisle. We are a member of the New Kadampa Tradition a worldwide organisation with over 1,200 centres and classes.

We offer weekly meditation classes both in Carlisle and throughout North Cumbria.

We also have half day workshops which are an introduction to meditation techniques and Buddhist teachings.

On our day courses you have the chance to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the centre and enjoy a whole day of teachings, meditations and plenty of time to relax.

Every year we have an Empowerment which is a special opportunity to receive the blessings of a particular Buddha. Look out for our next event.

As well as classes we offer educational visits to both schools and colleges, tailoring our sessions to the age group.

Meditation at Work is a new area that we are involved in. We can provide short courses for organisations and staff. 

These courses offer simple techniques on letting go of stress and frustrations and finding space to relax.
