Meditation for International Women's Day
A community meditation will be held at 6:30am tomorrow at Ocean Beach Surf Club for International Women's Day.
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch said women of all ages were invited to attend.
The event will involve group meditation and reflections on breaking the bias, this year's theme of International Women's Day, followed by coffee and refreshments, she said.
Ms Tesch said she aimed to unite women in the community and provide connections to people and one's self at the event.
"I really encourage you all to try something new and come along to 'the Sit' so we can unite and celebrate women as well as discuss how we can break the bias.
"It is really important women in our community have an outlet to reflect and invest time in themselves.
"It is also so crucial women are able to come together and think about those who paved the way for us and how we can pave the way for the future.
"Each of us, including men, have a responsibility to contribute to the progression of equality.
"Whether it is deliberate or not, it is undeniable that society's bias against women makes it difficult for us to move ahead.
"When you couple this with the intersectionality across women, whether it be women living with a disability, queer women, older women or women of colour, the bias only increases."
Ms Tesch said The Sit occured every Saturday morning, meditating together to end the week peacefully and start the weekend with a clear mind and outlook.
