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 “worldwide group meditation” on Monday, which would have been the visionary filmmaker’s 79th birthday.
“David Lynch, our beloved dad, was a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace. On Monday, January 20th—what would have been his 79th birthday—we invite you all to join us in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm NOON PST for 10 minutes,” wrote the Lynch siblings on X. “Let us come together, wherever we are, to honor his legacy by spreading peace and love across 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 this will be the first official gathering for the filmmaker, fans flocked to Bob’s Big Boy restaurant after news broke of Lynch’s death. The classic diner in L.A.’s Toluca Lake neighborhood became an inseparable part of Lynch’s lore after the “Twin Peaks” director revealed he ate there “for seven years every day at 2:30” and took notes on the napkins.

Lynch revealed in 2024 that he had been diagnosed with emphysema after a lifetime of smoking and that he would be unable to direct or leave his house again. His family announced his death on Thursday in a Facebook post writing, “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.”
