LifeArt Meditation Guided Meditation + Lifestyle Talk for Everyday Well-being

LifeArt Meditation Monday: The Momentum of Habit: The Precarious Balance of the Horizontal Life and The Vertical Life
Monday, April 27th, 6:30pm ET - 7:30pm ET
Hosted by Lezlie Laws
This talk addresses the challenge of balancing the external world of experience (what we commonly call “the real world” and all of its demands and distress) with the interior, nebulous, questioning world of our interiority. Many of the perennial big questions will be addressed; nothing will be solved. But I do hope you will walk away from this talk with some confidence about how to balance the two worlds.

New Guided Meditation and Mini-Talk Series created by LifeArt Meditation begins March 9th
LifeArt Meditation offers teachings on contemporary teachers, scholars, and thought leaders. In each session we discuss techniques and attitudes necessary for a robust contemplative practice. We explore ways of making our daily practice more enjoyable and more fruitful. In addition, we discuss how the effects of the practice are showing up in our daily encounters.
In other words, we seek to see how a contemplative practice really does begin to shape the tone and tenor of our moments, and our lives. While tone focuses on the specific attitude or emotion conveyed (e.g., optimistic, harsh), tenor represents the broader, underlying character, theme, or general course of thought. We want to examine just how meditation is making life better, more interesting, and maybe even more challenging.
Each session is comprised of three parts:
- a short “lifestyle” talk
- a 20 minute meditation
- a 20 minute Q&A
We invite you to spend a few sessions with each of the three teachers of LifeArt Meditation. We bring different styles, topics, and influences to each session. Lezlie Laws will lead the second Monday session (March 9th), April Koester will lead the third Monday session (March 16th), and Susan Baxter is on for the fourth Monday (March 23rd) of each month.
Logistics:
Online only, 6:30-7:30 pm ET on the second, third, and fourth Mondays of the month.
