Red Clay Sangha is an Atlanta-based Buddhist community that draws from many traditions, especially Vipassana and Zen (our guiding teacher received dharma transmission in the Vipassana Tradition), and a strong sangha (community)-oriented philosophy. 

All are welcome, in person or on Zoom (see the location page for details) - regardless of background, identity, and experience level. We look forward to getting to know you!

If you plan to attend in person: upon arrival please enter quietly, remove your shoes and join in the meditation session if it is in progress. 

Holiday Schedule:

We will be open through the holidays, with the following exceptions: Thursday Evening closed Thanksgiving Day (Nov 28th) and Boxing Day (Dec 26th); Wednesday Reading Group closed Erev Thanksgiving (Nov 27th), Christmas Day (Dec 25th) and New Year's Day (Jan 1st); Tai Chi closed Christmas Eve (Dec 24th) and New Year's Eve (Dec 31st). 

Be sure to pop in for some meditation before the end of the year! It’s the season of rest and reflection, and we would love to see your faces.
