Monday, March 23rd, 6:30pm ET – 7:30pm ET
Hosted by Susan Baxter
Breaking the Autopilot : Discovering the Anchor
Ditch the autopilot lifestyle and bring your full self into the present moment. Do you move through your day in a blur of to-do lists and digital notifications? It’s time to stop living on autopilot. Fully Present: Exploring Mindfulness of Body and Breath is an invitation to inhabit your life more deeply. Through guided body scans, mindful breathing, and presence building exercises, this series teaches you how to use your own body as an anchor in the storm of daily stress. Discover how to savor the present moment – whether you’re in a quiet room or a crowded supermarket – and cultivate a lasting sense of inner peace.
What to expect:
- The Talk: Anchoring in the Breath. Learning to observe the natural breath to calm the nervous system.
- The Practice: A 20 – minute guided meditation
- The Conversation: A Q&A on how breath work helps reduce stress and enhance emotional regulation.
Logistics:
Online only, 6:30-7:30 pm ET on the second, third, and fourth Mondays of the month.

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.
