Magnolia Village

Nashville Health has learned that Magnolia Village is a welcoming organization and retreat center in Batesville, MS. Our recent retreat with the Zen monks from Thich Nhat Hahn's order was a huge success. This caring Vietnamese community welcomed everyone from Nashville to Arkansas with open arms and provided a first-rate retreat experience. Particularly strong was the food. The staff provided authentic Vietmanese food which made me a newfound fan of the cuisine which doesn't reach the Nashville area that often. For smaller events, the on-site housing can supply space, or visitors can set up a tent on the expansive grounds - within one minute of the main meditation hall. Magnolia Village is hoping to host permanent monastics, so if that becomes a reality, area guests can look forward to instruction from the best.

Magnolia Village is also now a Google group. They can be reached by phone at 622-578-2077 or 662-832-1818.
