Kairos is not just an events space, it’s also a growing community. The aim of our membership scheme is to help build our community and to offer something extra to our supporters and regulars.

 

What kind of club is Kairos?

Kairos is not a traditional members’ club.

Criteria for acceptance is not professional affiliation or status or the ability to pay a large subscription fee. Instead, membership is open to anyone living with the understanding that we are entering a period of rapid transformation who wants to explore what that might look like in community with others similarly aware.

To join you must:

  • Understand the significance of this moment we’re in.
  • Want to help build a new, coherent world-view that reflects our current reality.
  • Be open: to new possibilities, alternative perspectives and cross-tribal alliances.
  • Commit to supporting fellow members and transforming radical ideas into action.
  • Have attended at least three Kairos events so you can get a feel for the club and we can get to know you. Upcoming events are listed on the events page. You can also sign up to our email newsletter and follow us on Instagram. There’s no need to worry about coming alone. Kairos is an intimate, welcoming space and all our evening events include drinks beforehand and a break for supper that we all eat together. Make sure to say hello to Zoë when you come.

Membership Categories

There are three types of membership. 

Supporter, £150: This is for those who want to support the project. Benefits include an unlimited number of reduced priced tickets as well as a reduced price ticket for one guest per event and the knowledge that you are helping develop and grow the project. 

Frequent visitor, £60: This is our reduced priced ticket scheme. You will receive 15 reduced-price tickets over the course of the year. For any additional events you come to during the year you’ll need to pay the full price.

Community member, free: This is for those who want to be part of the Kairos community and receive invites to members-only events, but aren’t able to commit to being a supporter or a frequent visitor. Membership will lapse if more than six months have passed since you last attended. 

In addition to our membership scheme we also offer reduced price tickets to those struggling financially, those visiting from the Global South and for the under 30s. You can book these individually for most events.

Full details of all the benefits for each category are listed in the table below.

Club Rules

Kairos is a space for radical ideas about social and cultural change. All discussion begins with the understanding that humanity is facing an existential crisis. There is no debate about the reality of this situation.

Please no grandstanding, rank-pulling, up-staging, down-putting or mansplaining.

Mobile phones, laptops and other devices may not be used inside the club. There will be no photos or recordings of any kind.

Kairos is a place for imaginative thinking. Anyone displaying a consistent lack of imagination will be asked to leave.

Please be sociable, particularly towards anyone on their own or new to Kairos.

Members must commit to developing nurturing, disseminating and enacting ideas seeded at Kairos and to supporting fellow members outside the club’s activities.

Kairos is a vegan space. Please don’t bring meat or dairy products into the space.

Please note that all attendees at public events are expected to follow the club rules.

How to apply

If you’d like to become a member, please first please email us introducing yourself with a few words about you, the events you’ve previously attended and why you’d like to join. We look forward to hearing from you. 

“The incubation of radical new ideas is a very distinct process with certain conditions: a tight space, lots of heat, passionate whispering and a degree of freedom to argue and work toward a common, focused aim.”

Gal Beckerman, “The Quiet Before”
