What we’re about
Red Clay Sangha offers Buddhist meditation, chanting, study, and fellowship in Atlanta, Georgia. We draw from many traditions and lineages, especially Vipassana and Zen 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. Beginners and people of all faith & spiritual backgrounds are welcome!

What if I never meditated before?
"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." We love to welcome beginners! Let us know that you have never meditated before and we can provide some guidance.
