Description: Experience Mahjong as both an ancient game and a living art form. In this beautifully guided course, participants learn not only the rules and strategy but also the rhythm, symbolism, and graceful flow of play that have made Mahjong a cherished cultural tradition for centuries. The hand-painted tiles and artistically designed mats become part of the experience—each piece a reflection of craftsmanship and beauty. Each session builds skill and confidence through hands-on instruction and thoughtful pacing. Surrounded by creativity and community, players discover that every tile tells a story—and every game becomes a work of art.

Instructors: Brandi Eley and Sean Green are a married teaching team with more than 23 years of experience in education. Together, they bring their shared love of learning, strategy, connection, and fun to the timeless game of Mahjong. Traveling throughout the Southeast, they introduce players to the beauty, rhythm, and cultural artistry of the game through engaging, hands-on instruction. Their thoughtful approach blends the heart of teaching with the joy of play, making each session both educational and inspiring.
