Magnolia Grove

Magnolia Grove, located in Batesville, Mississippi, is both a Monastery and Mindfulness Practice Meditation Center based in the tradition of Plum Village, founded by Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
Magnolia Grove, is a place to practice meditation and mindfulness. It is where every breath we take reminds us of the wonders of life. A place to sit and relax. A place to walk and kiss the earth beneath our feet. A place to rest under a willow tree on an island in a lotus pond. A place to eat together and savor every bite. A place to listen deeply to the sounds of life and the sound of our hearts. A place to work together to build a community of love and understanding. Magnolia Grove is a place where we can stop running, and discover peace with every step we take. A place to remind each one of us that the present moment is a wonderful moment.
