A Special Lecture with Barb Schmidt at Theatre Lab

by N. Jacobsen | Thursday, Mar 29, 2018

Our Search for Meaning:
Mindfulness = Choice = Happiness

1 pm, Sunday, April 8, Theatre Lab, Parliament Hall, FAU Boca Raton

“Life can be difficult, always unpredictable, and sometimes confusing. We have no control over anything that happens in the outer world, and our happiness and success lies in understanding this completely. Once we “get it” that we have 100% control over how we will respond, our lives are forever changed.” – Barb Schmidt

A practitioner of mindfulness and meditation for more than 30 years, Barb Schmidt is the author of the internationally bestselling book The Practice: Simple Tools for Managing Stress, Finding Inner Peace, and Uncovering Happiness. In 2011, she founded the non-profit organization Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life. Barb’s mission is to bring mindfulness teachings to the community in the belief that outer peace begins through inner peace. Over the years, she has been on more than 100 retreats and studied with teachers around the world, including the Dalai Lama. Currently, she teaches regular mindfulness and meditation workshops at Boca Raton Regional Hospital as part of the Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life Wellness Series.

Barb’s lecture will be followed at 3 pm by Deborah Zoe Laufer’s play, Be Here Now. When life just seems too difficult to face, how far are we willing to go for love and happiness and to create meaning in our lives? Two lost souls come together under most unusual circumstances in this deeply insightful and charmingly funny new play by the prolific Deborah Zoe Laufer (The Three Sisters of Weehawken). Showtimes: Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 pm; Sundays at 3 pm. Tickets: $35 at www.fauevents.com or 800-564-9539. This special lecture with Barb Schmidt is free and open to the public.
