The 1% Practice

Discover how Peaceful Barb’s 1% Practice can turn overwhelm into resilience, bring back balance, and help you thrive day by day.

According to Barb Schmidt, mindfulness and meditation are one and the same: it begins with noticing how you feel and giving yourself permission to stay present in the moment.

In this transformative workshop with Barb Schmidt, also known as Peaceful Barb, you’ll explore the power of the 1% Practice—a simple, intentional 14-minute daily routine created to interrupt chaos and reconnect you with your center.

In a world that feels more connected yet lonelier, more productive yet more exhausted, and more informed yet increasingly anxious, we have optimized nearly everything except our own well-being. Barb offers practical, small shifts that help build steady resilience, restore balance, and strengthen your inner world. The experience includes a series of sessions with group discussion, writing and reflection, meditation, and mindful walks.

This is not self-care as a luxury; it is self-preservation as a necessity. With mindful strategies and meaningful insights, you’ll learn how to show up not as the frazzled version shaped by circumstances, but as the grounded, confident person you want to be. Your life—and everyone who relies on you—deserves those 14 minutes.
