Mahjong and Mindfulness – Half Day Mini Retreat
July 17 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Mahjong & Mindfulness- A Half-Day Mini Retreat is a restorative four-hour experience that blends the engaging strategy and fun of Mahjong play with practices curated to promote relaxation, presence, and well-being. Whether you are a beginning or experienced player, the morning will include both guided and open play, creating opportunities to learn, connect, and enjoy the social benefits of Mahjong.
We'll start the morning with gentle yoga and movement- suitable for all levels; then take our seats at the tables and begin play accompanied by a relaxing sound bath. About half-way through, we'll head right out the door to beautiful Waveny Park for a meditative nature walk, and come back refreshed and ready to tackle some more strategic play!
The event ends with a short gratitude meditation, leaving you feeling clear, balanced, calm, and ready for the weekend!
Healthy snacks and tea will be provided throughout the day. Join us to experience Mahjong like never before at this unique experience that nurtures both mind and body while fostering community, focus, and joy.
Early Bird Rate $119 before Jul 1
$139 after July 1
The Mahjong part of this special event will be led by Mahjong experts Elva and Jami of "Lets Play Mahjong." The sisters began playing Mahjong "long before it was cool" and now these lifelong players share their love of the game with others, creating unique Mahjong experiences. Combining teaching expertise and knowledge with an infectious enthusiasm, Elva and Jami make playing and learning Mahjong fun, engaging and unforgettable!
