About us
The Newcastle Meditation Centre, at 71b Westgate Road, is a safe, welcoming and ideologically neutral space, wholly dedicated to the learning and practice of mindfulness and meditation.
We believe it is the first independent high street meditation of its kind in the UK.
At the Centre you can attend drop-in classes, courses and workshops, together with a range of other activities, including research seminars, discussion groups and social events. Bespoke packages can also be arranged for groups and organisations.
It is our goal to make the benefits of meditation accessible, affordable and available to all.
Opening Times

Volunteering
We are always keen to hear from people willing to volunteer at the Meditation Centre, whether by simply being there so that we can have the place open, or leading activities.
For any expressions of interest, please either speak to someone at the centre or get in touch via the contact page.
Using the Space
Groups and individuals are welcome to use the space for meditation and related activities, at reasonable rates for a prime city centre location.
Our upstairs meditation room has space to seat 24 people comfortably. Please be aware that unfortunately there is no lift.
