Community & belonging
Veterans Wellbeing Program
You served? Now let us serve you…
Kailash Ashram is a Veteran run charity and with our lived experience we offer compassionate guidance for Veterans, first responders and their partners and families.
A Life of Service
Service in our armed forces or emergency services requires a high octane life where the unique physical and psychological demands of ‘the job’ can end up taking their toll; not just on the service member, but families and loved ones.
As a Veteran family, David and Raya have lived through the challenges of integrating life post operational service, and are positioned to support veterans and their families in rediscovering a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
Wellbeing Practices
Community Shed
Build lifelong bonds
One of the greatest aspects of service are the friends and bonds with people ‘who get it.’ Upon leaving a life of service, many Veterans and responders feel lonely and isolated. Our Veteran programs are a time to come together as a community with like minded souls who have ‘been through it,’ which fosters belonging, connection and friendships to form.
Opportunities to get involved
Mixed Retreats
Civilian, Veterans, First Responders and Families
Joining us on a mixed retreat is a fantastic way to let go of the service identity, and to spend time with people of all walks of life. This is a great place to start for service personnel who are transitioning and are seeking support to embrace their ‘inner civilian.’
We have a limited number of places on our mixed retreats that are fully funded by charitable donations
Veteran Retreats
Veteran/First Responder Only
These programs are suitable for service personnel who wish to have a closed container with like minded veterans.
On a Veteran retreat you will learn traditional wellbeing practices like meditation and yoga, and you will participate in a variety of activities to help you uncover your deeper self, a sense of meaning and purpose.
Veteran Workshops
Coming Soon
Stay tuned for Veteran Yoga, meditation and wellbeing workshops in our nearest major centre, Horsham, Victoria.
