Red Clay Sangha is an Atlanta-based Buddhist community. We draw from many traditions, especially the Pali Canon (Theravada), Chan and Zen , and have a strong sangha (community)-oriented philosophy. All are welcome, regardless of background, identity, and experience level.
If you attend in person and come a little early, please introduce yourself so we can show you around. If you arrive after meditation has started, please enter quietly, and leave your shoes and belongings under the benches in the entry hall, and simply come in and take a seat or cushion. If you wish to attend on Zoom, click here for our regular Zoom meeting room.
