Experience sound immersion: free session for defence and veteran families

Sound immersion session

Defence and veteran families are warmly invited to join us for a calming sound immersion session. Led by Chris from Harmonic Essence, this deeply relaxing sound bath uses a blend of gongs, singing bowls, chimes, drums, flute, and vocal toning to guide you into a meditative state that supports stress reduction, improved wellbeing, and deep rest. No experience needed, simply come along and relax in a comfortable position.  

With over 30 years of musical experience and extensive training in sound healing, Chris creates a unique and restorative experience designed to calm the nervous system and leave you feeling refreshed and recharged. It’s also a chance to meet our team and connect with others who understand Defence life in a peaceful, welcoming setting. 

There is no cost for this activity. Your sound healing session will be covered by Families of Veterans Guild.
