Mates on Mats is a monthly mindful event to bring awareness to mental health and raise money for The Wayside Chapel.

Keeping with current COVI-19 Health restrictions we are limited to a total of 10 people at this event, including the teacher.

We meet at first light, move together as the sun rises and share an amazing experience. Then we will be guided through a sound healing to calm our mind and body.

This is the ultimate Bondi sunrise experience. Come by yourself to make new mates or come with your mates to enjoy this beautiful morning together.

Our tradition is to meet at Heart Cafe Bondi after our morning practice to catch up over a coffee and delicious breakfast. Heart Cafe is Bondi's first social enterprise cafe, working alongside The Wayside Chapel. This month we will be giving you a 2 for 1 coffee voucher to enjoy a take away coffee as we cannot meet there as a group.
