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

About this event

Monday, September 14th From Lezlie: I’ll be introducing a short investigation practice that has to do with “the undercurrent of thought” —a stream of chatter that goes on in most of our minds 24-7. Is it harmless? Maybe, but most meditative traditions say it is the thief of our spiritual practice. More information about these sessions: 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.
