LOTUS NETWORK

Denver

News: A reception benefiting Lotus Network will be held immediately before best-selling author Elizabeth Gilbert speaks on May 4 at Denver’s historic Paramount Theatre.

The $135 admission includes cocktails, a swag bag, the opportunity to meet and be photographed with Gilbert and a seat for her 7:30 p.m. talk. Tickets for Gilbert’s talk alone are $55.

For details, visit lotusnetwork.org or Paramountdenver.com.

Gilbert became an international sensation with her 2006 book, “Eat, Pray, Love.” It has sold 12 million copies in 30 languages. Her latest, “City of Girls,” is set in the world of Broadway theater in the 1940s and tells the fictional story of one woman’s self-discovery through often hilarious, unconventional and charismatic characters.

In a press release announcing her Denver appearance, Gilbert said she will discuss “(h)ow women are more anxious now than they have been at any time in history. And a great deal of that anxiety comes from trying to manage things that cannot be managed.”

Lotus Network founders Lisa Cook and Leslie Heins add: “Elizabeth will explain how she has come to relax in a revolutionary new understanding about life – that it cannot be controlled, but it can be enjoyed and held as sacred.”

Gilbert’s appearance, produced by Nancy Rebek, had originally been scheduled for May 7, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tickets purchased for that date will be honored.
