# Event Details - **Event Name**: Bowl Tea Ceremony - a gentle, surprising way to meditate - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm – Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us in the sanctuary of the Inner Light Meditation Centre for a meditation experience unlike any other. * Our Bowl Tea Ceremony invites you to slow down, settle into stillness, and let the simplicity of tea and ceremony guide you inward. * SESSION TIMES: Mondays & Thursdays: 7:00am – 8:00am Occasional Weekends during the day: 90-minute extended sessions Occasional evenings - 6pm-7.30pm * WHAT IS BOWL TEA CEREMONY? This is more than tea. It is an ancient meditative practice, a moment of quiet presence, and a deeply soothing way to return to yourself. Many who join us describe the experience as unexpectedly profound—something that words never fully capture… and often return again because they fall in love with what the ceremony reveals. Payment – Sliding scale – this is an opportunity to contribute to the centre's running costs. THINGS TO KNOW- The centre is airconed. We sit on meditation cushions on the plush Mellow mats on the floor with a low table. There are also chairs if you require that seating. Blankets, bolsters, and cushions are also available for your comfort. WHAT TO EXPECT • A silent, guided tea meditation of approximately 45–60 minutes. Served by Mo or Alli • Space to observe your breath, body, emotions, and inner landscape • A gentle shift into clarity, calm, and grounded presence • Shu pu'er, White Peony, or Silver Needles tea typically served • A short sharing circle afterwards (optional), where participants often express surprising insights that arose during the stillness * WHY TEA? In many traditions, tea is used as a medicine, a meditation tool, and a way to reconnect with spirit and consciousness. The simplicity of holding a warm bowl brings you into your senses, while the ceremony offers stability when discomfort or emotion arises. Tea becomes a companion—holding you, grounding you, and helping you relax into awareness. A Beautiful Space to Begin Your Day Our weekday ceremonies run for 45 minutes (plus time for sharing), while our weekend sessions offer a little more spaciousness. The practice is intimate and limited to 7-13 participants, with a tea server and assistant holding the space. * BEFORE YOU ARRIVE • Please arrive 5–10 minutes early to settle your mind and body • Enter the space in silence • Seating and bathroom facilities are available before the ceremony begins * This is a gentle invitation back to yourself—into stillness, presence, and the quiet wisdom that rises when we pause. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/townsville/bowl-tea-ceremony-a-gentle-surprising-way-to-meditate/200029512938923 - **Event Categories**: meditation, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 3 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://www.trybooking.com/CQMZY?utm_source=AllEvents.in&utm_medium=event-discovery-platform&utm_campaign=townsville-events ## Event venue details - **city**: Townsville - **state**: QL - **country**: Australia - **location**: Level 1, 197-203 Flinders Street, Townsville, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4810 - **lat**: -19.25724 - **long**: 146.81928 - **full address**: Level 1, 197-203 Flinders Street, Townsville, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4810 ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 2 - **organizer**: Inner Light Meditation Centre (https://allevents.in/org/inner-light-meditation-centre/25937463) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d284e9032a999c22879b8d6cbd87ed9b27a37ba4d06523c6c6ceda3d85268b74-rimg-w960-h720-dc171512-gmir?v=1768642222 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/285b4df3d74b072aa370a87175c245c377d4a49fb02381dbb9a82b1455d8ee5b-rimg-w300-h300-dc151512-gmir?v=1768642222 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Sun, 18 Jan, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Level 1, 197-203 Flinders Street, Townsville, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4810 - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Inner Light Meditation Centre - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** meditation, health-wellness - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Bowl Tea Ceremony - a gentle, surprising way to meditate ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Bowl Tea Ceremony - a gentle, surprising way to meditate", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/d284e9032a999c22879b8d6cbd87ed9b27a37ba4d06523c6c6ceda3d85268b74-rimg-w960-h720-dc171512-gmir?v=1768642222", "startDate": "2026-01-18", "endDate": "2026-01-18", "url": "https://allevents.in/townsville/bowl-tea-ceremony-a-gentle-surprising-way-to-meditate/200029512938923", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Level 1, 197-203 Flinders Street, Townsville, QLD, Australia, Queensland 4810", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "197-203 Flinders St, Townsville City QLD 4810, Australia", "addressLocality": "Townsville", "addressRegion": "QL", "addressCountry": "AU" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "-19.25724", "longitude": "146.81928" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us in the sanctuary of the Inner Light Meditation Centre for a meditation experience unlike any other.\n*\n\nOur Bowl Tea Ceremony invites you to slow down, settle into stillness, and let the simplicity of tea and ceremony guide you inward.\n*\n\nSESSION TIMES:\nMondays & Thursdays: 7:00am – 8:00a", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Inner Light Meditation Centre", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/inner-light-meditation-centre/25937463" } ] } ] ```
