David Lynch’s children honor him with ‘global group meditation’

To honor the life of their father David Lynch, who died last week at age 78, Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch will host a “global group meditation” on Monday, which would have been the visionary filmmaker’s 79th birthday.

“David Lynch, our beloved father, was a guide of creativity, love and peace. On Monday, January 20, what would have been his 79th birthday, we invite you all to join us in a global group meditation at 12:00 p.m. PST for 10 minutes,” the Lynch siblings wrote on that we are, honor his legacy by spreading peace and love throughout the world. Please take this time to meditate, reflect and send positivity into the universe. Thank you for being part of this celebration of his life. Love, Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch.

Although it was the filmmaker’s first official gathering, fans flocked to Bob’s Big Boy restaurant after news of Lynch’s death broke. The classic restaurant in Los Angeles’ Toluca Lake neighborhood became an inseparable part of Lynch’s story after the “Twin Peaks” director revealed he ate there “for seven years, every day at 2:30 p.m. and that he took notes on the napkins.

Lynch revealed in 2024 that he had been diagnosed with emphysema after smoking his entire life and would once again be unable to live or leave his house. His family announced his death in a Facebook post Thursday: “There is a big hole in the world now that he is no longer with us. But as he said: “Keep your eye on the donut and not the hole.” It’s a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies throughout.
