What began as an informal book study group in 2011 — exploring diverse traditions of religion and spirituality — discovered something unexpected: a genuine hunger in central Louisiana for open, affirming spirituality.
Cenla Meditation Group began meeting in September 2012 to move beyond intellectual understanding into actual lived practice. More than a decade later, we’re still meeting weekly, having reached hundreds of people, partnered with dozens of organizations, and offered workshops and retreats throughout Central Louisiana.
The mission of Cenla Meditation Group, Inc. is to promote well-being through mindfulness education and practice opportunities while building a diverse, nurturing community of support.
