Tue Jan 21 08:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Lynch Family Announces Worldwide Meditation to Honor Late Filmmaker on His Birthday

**LOS ANGELES, CA** – The family of acclaimed filmmaker David Lynch is inviting fans worldwide to participate in a group meditation on Monday, January 20th, what would have been the visionary director’s 79th birthday. Lynch passed away last week at age 78 after a battle with emphysema.

Jennifer, Austin, Riley, and Lula Lynch announced the event on X (formerly Twitter), calling their father “a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace.” The 10-minute meditation, scheduled for 12:00 pm PST, aims to honor Lynch’s legacy by focusing on peace and positivity.

The announcement follows an outpouring of grief from fans, many of whom spontaneously gathered at Bob’s Big Boy restaurant in Toluca Lake, a location deeply associated with Lynch after he revealed his daily routine of dining there for seven years.

Lynch’s family previously announced his death on Facebook, sharing a message reflecting his optimistic spirit. They wrote, “There’s a big hole in the world now that he’s no longer with us. But, as he would say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies all the way.” The meditation serves as a poignant and fitting tribute to the life and work of the influential filmmaker.
