What kind of club is Kairos?
Kairos is not a traditional members’ club.
Criteria for acceptance is not the ability to pay or professional affiliation or status.
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.
Kairos aspires to have:
- The level of intelligent yet accessible debate of The Frontline Club
- The charm of The Academy Club
- The subversiveness of a 17th century coffee house
- The counter-cultural energy of Nigeria’s Mbari club
- The global connectedness of the Rotary Club
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

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 and/or recordings without prior agreement.
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.
Members may bring three guests to social events, provided they are aware of the club’s ethos and abide by the club rules.
Please note that all attendees at public events are expected to follow the club rules.
