Saturday, May 16th, 2026, from 9:00 to 5:00
Topic to be determined.
Katie Rhodes is a member and teacher with Red Clay Sangha. She has been a Buddhist practitioner for over 30 years, primarily in the Insight/Vipassana tradition. She has been practicing Insight Dialogue meditation since 2023 and is a member of the Northeast Insight Dialogue Teachers Cohort.
She uses mindfulness-based cognitive approaches in her work as a psychotherapist. She has a doctorate in clinical social work.
What to expect: This will be a full day of sitting and walking meditation practice, with a dharma talk mid-morning, a break for lunch midday, and a group discussion/ Q&A in the middle of the afternoon. All are welcome, no previous experience with meditation required. Attending for the full day is recommended, but if you are only able to come for a short period, you are welcome to do so: please just enter and leave quietly, respecting the practice of others.
Location: Red Clay Sangha, 3315 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road, and on Zoom
Food: There will be a break around noon for lunch. Please bring your meal. There is a refrigerator on premise if you wish to store food in it, as well as a kettle and a variety of tea bags if you'd like to make yourself tea.
Schedule: The door will be open by 8:45 for arrival and settling in. At 9:00 Gareth will give a brief introduction and orientation, and we will begin sitting around 9:10. We will likely finish a few minutes before 5:00. There will be a dharma talk mid-morning, a Q&A/ Discussion period mid-afternoon, and the balance of the day (other than the break for lunch) will be alternating periods of approximately 30 minutes of sitting and walking meditation.
