TOPIC FOR Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 Meeting from 7pm – 9pm ET
Waking up to your own body
Drawing on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, this talk invites you to view the body not as a machine to be fixed, but as a “mysterious portal” to truth. Your body is the only thing that is always in the present moment. By honoring the body’s changing nature, we learn the profound lessons of acceptance and interconnectedness with the world around us. Susan Baxter will be giving this talk.
In-person Location: In the meditation hall behind Peter Carlson’s house.
1818 Carrigan Ave., Winter Park FL 32789

Overview of the Satipatthana Sutta
This is the first of several Dharma talks that review what many believe is the most important teaching of early Buddhism, the Four Foundations of Mindfulness Discourse. Peter reviews the general history and overall structure of the teaching, emphasizing various repetitive phrases and providing explanations of the archaic wording to make the teaching more accessible for a contemporary student. Next week, Susan Baxter will review the first Foundation, Mindfulness of the Body, including how the Sutta describes the practice of anapanasati, mindfulness of breathing meditation.
Here are the notes prepared for this talk: Overview of the Satipatthana Sutta
