We Are Open!
Our space is open to a limited number of fully vaccinated members and visitors. Join us in person on Sundays for services and meditation, and on Wednesday evenings for our reading group.
After considering recommendations from the CDC and Georgia's DPH, we've decided to require masking at RCS for all indoor activities. Masking is something we can do to support the well-being of our sangha and the larger community. We will continue to monitor the recommendations of our health departments and hope that the surge in Georgia will soon pass. Thank you for your patience. Please read about our reopening policies here.
You may also continue to attend via Zoom. We will host most meetings in this hybrid format: in-person, with a Zoom option.

Red Clay SanghA note on Zoom etiquette: you will be on mute when you join a meeting: please remain on mute while sitting, and during discussions unless you are talking. (With many participants background noise can be a real problem, and it is sometimes tough to tell where it's coming from.) Please place hands together or use the chat window to indicate you wish to talk, and wait on the leader to call on you before speaking. (Talk over can be a problem with Zoom.) The line will be open 15 minutes early if you would like to call in early to make sure you are properly set up. Email garethjohnyoung@gmail.com if you need help setting up.Here are two sites that we have found helpful for current information about the Covid-19 Pandemic: dph.georgia.gov and cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019
About Red Clay Sangha Red Clay Sangha offers Buddhist practice - meditation, chanting, study and fellowship - in Atlanta, Georgia. We have no central tradition or teacher, but rather draw from many traditions and lineages and have a sangha (community)-oriented approach to teaching and ministry. The sangha is dedicated to bringing the compassion and wisdom of Buddha's teachings and practice to all without disparagement. Each voice forms our song and each face our picture.
