When conjuring up a mental picture of “mindfulness,” a bar probably isn’t the first setting that comes to mind. Singer, comedian, and mindfulness teacher Elaine Smookler hopes to change impressions of what it means to be mindful with the second instalment of her Mindful Martinis series at the Gladstone. It’s part cabaret, part party, part class led by Smookler, and aims to allow guests to practice being present in a boisterous space filled with entertainment and cocktails.
