Still in shock, grief, anger, exhaustion after what just happened, i was laying on the grass the day before next to the small bridge and luckily drove back to The Sanctuary as I was feeling alot of anxiety and sickness. When I got back down south i said “i nearly collapsed” and feel strange anxiety and stress…

I am so grateful none of my close friends or family were caught there with Roscoes apartment just up the road, yet I am sorry beyond words for those that were, and did have. Children, Parents, Elders.

The beautiful Muslim man who wrestled the gunman lives 5 mins up the road from me and is our local grocery shop owner. To see that divine masculine: the courage, strength & no desire for violence brought so much safety, love and healing to my heart in what felt like one of the most terrorising moments in my life.

Also like many, I dont know what to do right this second except keep trying to pay attention to what actions can help beng support, peace & healing….

You are welcome: Bondi Beach on Sunday 21st, I hope to see and hear you there, reminding ourselves and each other of what matters between us all, at the end of it all.

It’s a gathering at sunrise called "Peace on the beach" organised by Bondi Locals.

When: 6.45am - 9.15am Sunday 21 December 2025
Where: Bondi Beach, in front of the Pavilion

The invite:

Calling the Bondi community and community beyond to come together to mark a moment of peace on the beach.

We'll spell PEACE in the sand in the largest letters we can, form a circle, sit mindfully, listen to healing music, and finish with movement to drums.

We'll capture images from the air to share with our community, and to simply practice how love and unity are stronger than fear and division - if we want it to be.

All are welcome, families and young children.

* Meditation for Peace by Mike Kelly Emerging Dharma Teacher

* Sound healing and music by Mia Mia Angelice Burlinson and DA Carter

* Drumming lead by Lichi Ambrosino of Bondi Sunset Music and Guy Saunders of Castle Drumming

On departure, we'll leave nothing behind.
