the sit
The Sit movement began in 2018 in response to the alarming increase in suicide rates and mental health experienced in the Northern Beaches community.
Mindfulness meditation is now recognised as an effective treatment for mental health issues including stress, anxiety and depression. The Sit community not only provides weekly opportunities to experience the benefits of meditation and mindfulness but is a hub that shines a light on themes like gratitude, sharing, kindness and so on.
Their sunrise Sits are for everyone, so if you’re in the mood for an early morning meditation session (6:30am) come down to the beach and enjoy.
