BOWL TEA CEREMONY - MEDITATION
This is a surprisingly beautiful way to meditate! Participants that are exposed to Bowl Tea Ceremony - rebook again and again.

We (Maurice and Alli) have fallen in love with tea and its medicinal and meditative properties.

The side handle teapot (yokode kyusu) allows us serve 7 participants, one server, and one assistant.

This is a 1-hour event each Monday and Thursday morning from 7am until 8am. For those that are unable to attend the 7am sessions, we also offer a 90-minute session occasionally on the weekend later in the morning.

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

• This is a loving and accepting community created with intention by Mo and Alli.
• Either Mo or Alli, or sometimes Reiner will be serving, with the other warmly greeting you when you attend.
• After being greeted, we enter the meditative space without talking. The ceremony during the weekdays are 45 minutes, 60mins on weekends, with 15 minutes to share your experiences.
• These sessions are an intimate space for gathering of up to 9 people per tea ceremony (7 participants, 1 tea server; 1 assistant).
• Approximately 4 rounds of quality tea are served (typically Pu er, or Silver Needles tea, or black tea.
• Gentle music is played throughout the ceremony.
• At the end of the ceremony and the 4 rounds, we share a reading from the 2nd book of the Tao, then open up the invitation to share your experience. We are often surprised by what comes to ​mind in the presence of tea in silence.

​**Bowl Tea Ceremony:**​
A tea ceremony is a meditation practice, as you focus on the tea and yourself. As you drink tea, you also meditate noticing what is present in the stillness.
It is a beautiful mindfulness practice and a great way to take a break from our busy lives, to come into stillness and gain access to the information of our spirit and consciousness that is available to you in this mindfulness practice.
These sessions typically book out, as many people rebook after experiencing this surprisingly wonderful practice.

The Benefits of this Meditation Practice:

• Receiving information - People often get a great deal of information -sometimes called 'downloads', or insights that they like to capture in a journal.
• Calming of the nervous system.
• Connection - to ourselves, and to others.
• Stillness, clarity, and help improve your wellbeing
• Medicinal properties of the tea.
• Encourages us to put pauses between our actions.

Please Note:

• We ask that you arrive 5-10 minutes early, to settle the mind and have either Mo or Alli explain what to expect.
• The bathroom , filtered water and some seating space is available before entering the ceremony.

We sincerely encourage you to come and experience this wonderful practice.
With love and light, thank you for being here.
Mo and Alli.

*Beyond the numerous hours Mo and Alli, co-directors of the Inner Light Meditation Centre, dedicate weekly, we also make substantial financial contributions to the centre's operational costs. Our goal is to serve the community, assist ourselves and others in calming the nervous system, finding their voice, connecting with self and others and illuminate their inner light. We deeply appreciate any contribution you are moved to make.

With love and light, thank you for being here.
Mo and Alli.
