Step into the world of American mahjong through an immersive experience that blends hands-on learning, strategic play, mindfulness, and connection. Whether you’re picking up tiles for the first time or ready to elevate your game, you learn through interactive clinics, guided table play, and real-time practice.
A unique mentor mixer brings beginners and experienced players together, creating opportunities to share skills, build confidence, and form meaningful connections. Beyond the table, mindfulness sessions offer practical techniques to reduce stress and sharpen focus. You leave with stronger mahjong skills, fresh strategies, greater confidence, and the inspiration to bring the joy, camaraderie, and sense of community home with you.
In this retreat, Elva and Jami are joined by Diane Barnett and Catherine Barrett of Grounded Meditation, certified mindfulness and meditation specialists with expertise in emotional regulation, healthy seated habits, and competition stress reduction. Together, the team creates an unforgettable, multigenerational experience that blends strategic mental play with deep, mindful restoration.
