Experience sound healing: free session for war widows, defence and veteran families

On Saturday 24 January 2026, you’re invited to join us at Flow and Food Yoga & Ayurveda for a free one-hour sound healing session. This gentle practice uses soothing instruments and mindful breathing to help you relax, restore balance and create a sense of calm.

It’s a simple way to pause, recharge and connect with others in a supportive environment. All you need to do is come along and enjoy the experience, everything else is taken care of by our Wellbeing Team.

Sound healing session

War widows, defence and veteran families are warmly invited to come and try sound healing. Enjoy 1 hour of sound healing at Flow and Food Yoga & Ayurveda. Sound healing is designed to help create calm, bring balance, soothe the nervous system, and heal stored emotions. Lying down comfortably for 60 minutes, experience deep relaxation as you journey through mindful, relaxed breathing and the resonance of a range of sound-healing instruments, including Tibetan crystal bowls. As you allow and let go of mental clutter, sound helps you develop an enduring presence, amplifying feelings of peace and profound inner calm.

Please wear comfortable clothing. Blankets and bolsters are provided on the day. Feel free to bring your own yoga mat, pillow, blanket, and water.

Please arrive at the studio at 1.45pm to settle in. The class starts at 2 pm sharp, and doors will be closed at this time to avoid disrupting the session.

Sound healing Cronulla

For Veteran’s Health Week, we invite Sydney veteran families to experience sound healing in Cronulla

Are you the partner of a current serving ADF member, a veteran spouse, parent of a veteran, adult child of a veteran, a widow, or connected to Defence in another way? As part of Veterans’ Health Week, we warmly invite veteran families to join us for a sound healing session followed by a picnic lunch in Cronulla on Saturday 12 October 2024, brought to you by our Wellbeing Program.

The theme of Veterans’ Health Week 2024 is Keep Connected. This theme aims to promote good health and wellbeing in the everyday life of veteran families and shines a light on the importance of social connection.

Families of veterans can sometimes experience overwhelm when balancing the demands of supporting family, the impact of ADF service and/or in caring roles due to illness, injury or transitions. Social connection is at the core of our wellbeing events. In addressing social isolation and loneliness, we acknowledge that veteran families may face barriers in developing and maintaining peer connections due to the unique nature of Defence life. The purpose of this event is to encourage the families of veterans to engage in a self-care activity and expand their social network by connecting with like-minded peers.
