Create and connect: kokedama workshop for war widows, defence and veteran families
On Friday 19 September 2025 , we’re hosting a free kokedama workshop at Queanbeyan Veteran and Family Hub — and you’re invited. This session is open to all defence and veteran families, including war widows, spouses, carers and adult children.
You don’t need any experience — just come along, learn something new, and spend time with others who understand the unique ups and downs of defence life. It’s part of our Wellbeing Program, supporting peer connection and self-care.
Kokedama workshop
Families of Veterans Guild and RSL Lifecare Queanbeyan Veteran and Family Hub invite war widows, defence and veteran families to join us for our Kokedama Workshop.
Kokedama is the Japanese art of growing plants in a moss-covered ball of soil wrapped with string. This event aims to support peer connection, self-care and increased wellbeing through the process of craft making. Participants will go home with a kokedama plant they have created themselves. Morning tea will be provided during the workshop by RSL Lifecare Queanbeyan Veteran and Family Hub.
There is no cost for this activity. Your kokedama workshop will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild, and your morning tea will be covered by RSL Lifecare Queanbeyan Veteran and Family Hub.
Previous attendees to Wellbeing activities said “I’m truly grateful for the chance to spend quality time with my family and peers, connecting and enjoying each other’s company. It was the perfect opportunity to recharge, relax, and have fun.”
