KEEPING VETERANS CONNECTED: A DAY OF COMMUNITY AND SUPPORT IN BELLINGEN

The local veterans’ community is set to come together for a day of connection, recreation, and support at the “Keeping Veterans Connected” event on Sunday, 10 November, from 9am to 1:30pm at Lavender’s Park, on the north bank of the Bellinger River.

Organised by the Bellinger River RSL sub-Branch with support from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA), this event is part of the annual Veterans’ Health Week. This year’s theme, “Keep Connected,” emphasises the crucial role of community bonds in supporting veterans’ wellbeing.

This free event, open to all currently serving and ex-service personnel (whether or not they have been deployed overseas) and their families, offers a range of activities designed to promote physical health, mental wellbeing, and community spirit. Highlights include:

– Canoeing on the Bellinger River, supervised by Bellingen Canoe Adventures

– Traditional games like three-legged races and sack races

– Board games and card games for all ages

– Information on access to veteran support services

– Morning tea and a sausage sizzle lunch

Lavender’s Park, situated on the north bank of the Bellinger River, provides a picturesque backdrop for this community gathering. Bring a picnic rug or folding chairs.

*Developing the Self – through the Inner Work Path in the Light of Anthroposophy This book gives practical exercises and guidance for working with ourselves and getting to know all that we are and how we can contribute to a healthy humanity through creating a healthy inner life.

*Living Inner Development – The Necessity of True Inner Development in the Light of Anthroposophy. We are given a deeper insight into meditative practices and some of the ways to deepen our practice and how to deal with some of the hindrances that arise.

*Sex Education and the Spirit – Understanding Our Community Responsibility for the Healthy Development of Gender and Sexuality within Society. How do we as care givers, teachers, parents and individuals in community, support the development and forms that are held around sexuality and gender? This book can help us ask some questions that may open our minds to how we can contribute to a healthier and more harmonious ways of being around gender and sexuality.

*Spirit-led Community – Healing the Impact of Technology. We are offered here a discussion on the 12 senses and the 7 life processes as ways of deepening our understanding of our needs as developing human beings, and how we can work with technology with awareness.

*A Bridge to Spirit – Understanding Conscious Self- Development and Consciousness– Altering Substances Lisa explores ways we can come to terms with living in an industrialized age and develop a bridge from the earth to the spirit via the heart, supporting ourselves and others in enriching our inner life to enrich our outer life. I have found Lisa’s books easy to read, with plenty of verses and exercises to aid grasping the topic the book is covering. While Lisa doesn’t guarantee an answer to a dilemma, leaving us free to come to that ourselves, there are plenty of opportunities given to consolidate and become clear of questions you can work with and ideas for approaching situations in a different way.
