founder of one million meditations by meditationHQ
The one million meditations (omm.) event is the creation of meditationHQ founder, Jason Partington.
The event was named by Lorelie Luna Ladiges, who has been instrumental in the growth and support of meditationHQ since 2018. The event was originally created in response to elevating suicide rates and mental health challenges experienced in the local Northern Beaches community.
The purpose of one million meditations (omm.) is to increase awareness of meditation as a powerful tool for mental wellness and to raise funds for Lifeline Australia. The event is in its 4th year, and has raised over $85000 since the year 2021 for Lifeline.
The meditationHQ Community has huge plans to grow the event nationally in all capital cities, major regional towns and globally through to 2030.

Why Support Lifeline Australia
Making an Impact with Lifeline
The meditationHQ Community was launched in 2018 on Avalon Beach, NSW in response to an alarming increase in suicide rates. We believe that connection to the community brings hope and purpose, and practices of mindfulness and meditation help us to reduce stress, enhance emotional well-being and rediscover the joy in the small things.
With this purpose, we have partnered with Lifeline, Australia's leading suicide prevention service with a vision to achieve an Australia free of suicide and ensure that no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone.
Hope through Connection
Research and experience have shown that it is through connection that we find hope and for the next 3 years we will work alongside Lifeline as an arm of mental wellness, growing OMM nationally, raising funds for suicide prevention and spreading awareness for the benefits of mindfulness meditation.
Lifeline is a national charity providing all Australians with 24-hour crisis support and suicide prevention services.
Through phone, text and online chat Lifeline is available 24 hours a day to listen, without judgement, to any person in Australia who is feeling overwhelmed, experiencing crisis or longs to be heard.
If you or someone you know are in crisis, please call Lifeline on 13 11 14 and speak to one of our telephone crisis supporters.
They are available 24/7 to listen and to provide support and referrals to appropriate services in your area.
You can also chat to us online via our Crisis Chat Support Service (www.lifeline.org.au/crisischat) or by text on 0477 13 11 14. If you are in immediate danger, please phone 000 for emergency support.
