For nine years, the Center for Mindful Living here in Chattanooga has provided a community for practitioners and students of mindfulness.

But last year, due to the pandemic, the Center had to relinquish its own space on East Main Street - and today, it ceases its operations.

On Thursday, September 16th, a celebration of the center will be held at the Church on Main, starting at 5 PM.

A few days ago, I spoke with Stephanie Wilkins, the center’s executive director.
