Meditation to mark International Women’s Day

Meditation on the beach a great way to start the day

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch is inviting members of the community to join the International Women’s Day celebration with a meditation session at Ocean Beach on March 8.

“This is such a beautiful opportunity to rise with the sun and enjoy some quiet contemplation on our picturesque Ocean Beach, as we come together to inspire inclusion across the Coast in celebration of International Women’s Day,” she said.

It is the fourth year the free event has run at Ocean Beach.

“I love how this event opens-up the opportunity for everyone to get together and share inspirational stories of their life and of women who have inspired them,” Tesch said.

“We can learn so much from those who have paved the way before us and be empowered to make a change in our community too.”

The event will include a group meditation on the beach and reflections on Inspire Inclusion, the theme for International Women’s Day, followed by free tea, coffee and a chat at the Ocean Beach Café.

“Bring along your hat, sunnies and a smile as we celebrate this special day together,” Tesch said.

“This event is open to all Coasties, and I look forward to seeing you there.”

Meditation HQ will take place at 7am on Friday, March 8, at Ocean Beach Surf Club.

Tesch is also encouraging community members to post a photo on social media with #InspireInclusion to show solidarity for this year’s International Women’s Day theme.
