Meditation to start International Women’s Day

Last year's event

Member for Gosford Liesl Tesch is inviting Coasties to celebrate the International Women’s Day celebration with Meditation HQ at Ocean Beach on Saturday, March 8.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to soak in the sunrise and enjoy some quiet reflection at one of our gorgeous Central Coast beaches, as we come together to refresh and connect this International Women’s Day,” she said.

“I love how this event provides an opportunity for the community to get together and celebrate the strength and resilience of women, remembering those who have shaped our past and encouraging those who continue to pave our future.

“Come along and bring your hat, sunnies, and a smile as we celebrate this year’s theme, Accelerate Action.”

Now in its fifth year, the event will include a group meditation on the beach, featuring guided tai chi and crystal bowl sound therapy, followed by chai and a chat at the Ocean Beach Café.

Event organiser Sam Wiggins and his team, Maree Langburne and Michelle O’Toole, want as many people as possible to attend the free event.

“This is a time for you to stop and breathe, to reflect and reboot while meeting your community and connecting to nature,” Wiggins said.

“Join us in celebrating women around the world, as you come home to yourself at this beautiful event.”

The event will take place at 6.30am on Saturday, March 8, at Ocean Beach Surf Club.

If you are unable to make it to the event, community members are encouraged to post a photo on social media with #AccelerateAction to show solidarity for this year’s International Women’s Day theme.
