LifeArt Meditation Monday: Balancing the Horizontal Life with the Vertical Life
Monday, April 13th, 6:30pm ET – 7:30pm ET
Hosted by Lezlie Laws
This session will begin a series of short talks and guided meditations that are inspired by a wonderful book by Ezra Bayda called Skating on Thin Ice: A Zen Path of Self-Realization. Bayda offers 44 short essays, each one addressing a challenge, strategy, or approach to cultivating a connection between our sitting practice and our real-world circumstances. I have been reading a single essay each morning for the last six weeks, and find his insights so helpful.
For the next few second Mondays, then, I will be focusing on one of the essays for our conversation and meditation. I hope you will grab a copy of this book for yourself and read it along with me. Find it on Amazon.

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.
