Veteran family members are invited to attend a sound healing session followed by a picnic at the beach in Cronulla, courtesy of Our Space.
This event aims to support peer connection and stress reduction. Veteran families are invited to come together and experience a unique modality of relaxation through sound healing. The session will be facilitated by UNSW approved music tutor and certified yoga instructor Bianca Teremi from the Heart and Soul Yoga studio in Cronulla. Attendees will hear a variety of calming sounds, including crystal singing bowls, promoting wellness and relaxation.
The event will conclude with a picnic where attendees can continue connecting with their peers over a healthy lunch whilst taking in the views of beautiful Cronulla beach.
Wear comfortable clothing, bring a yoga mat and small blanket or jacket to keep warm during the sound healing session. There is no cost for this event. The sound healing session and lunch will be provided by Our Space.
Previous attendees said “I have never been good at meditating, but this sound healing session dropped me into a deep state of relaxation without even trying! I felt so calm afterward as if I awoke from a deep restorative sleep. I cannot wait to do it again”.
