Oct 8, 22 – “Recognizing Spiritual Materialism”

“Recognizing Spiritual Materialism”
Recognizing Spiritual Materialism - Trained to be doers and achievers, many modern day meditators seek to experience heightened states of joy, clarity, and enlightenment as part of an agenda for spiritual self improvement when engaging with the Buddha's teachings.

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) is proud to announce the Santa Barbara premiere of SHE IS THE OCEAN from Inna Blokhina, acclaimed director of the award-winning film On the Wave. SHE IS THE OCEAN follows nine women from across the globe and across all ages, who share a deep and profound love of the ocean.

Kathleen Madigan

For 30 years, comedian Kathleen Madigan has been touring 250 nights on the road and squeezing in hour-long filmed specials and performances on every late-night show ever made. From over 40 appearances on the late-night shows to recently riding around with Jerry Seinfeld in his NETFLIX series, “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” Madigan is still having a blast and selling out theaters across the country. Madigan was recently asked if her career was planned, “Ah, no. It’s hard to believe this whole thing started out as a reason to drink and has lasted 30 years. What a great drinking accident.”

Her most recent special “Bothering Jesus” is her fifth hour long standup special and will be her third special to be available on NETFLIX. Her album of the “Bothering Jesus” special, was the highest selling comedy album and most played comedy album on streaming services since 2014.
