While we’re **not** running a commercial Mahjong club, we *are* here to build a **community**.\nMany of our players started as complete beginners in our workshops — and now they’re **hooked**! That’s why we created our **🎟️ Just Play tickets**.\n\n### 🌏 DIFFERENT MAHJONG STYLES WELCOME\n\n### 🇭🇰 Hong Kong Style (Main Style)\n\nOur main style is **Hong Kong Mahjong**, with a **3 fan minimum to win**.If you know how to play other Chinese styles like **Taiwanese**, **Sichuan**, or **British Mahjong**, you’re still welcome! We’ll provide **scoring cards** to help you adapt.\n⚠️ However, these tables are **not suitable for beginners**. If you haven’t yet graduated from Level 1 or Level 2 of our workshops, or if you don’t know how to score, please join our learner workshops first to build confidence.\n\n### 🇯🇵 Japanese Riichi (Growing Community)\n\nRiichi Mahjong is **new to our community**, but we love its fast pace and strategic complexity!If you already know how to play Riichi — \\*\\*amazing! Please join us.\\*\\*If you play Chinese Mahjong and want to try Riichi, one of our instructors or friendly regulars might help, but we **can’t guarantee full teaching support yet**. You're welcome to learn by playing alongside others.\n\n### 🇺🇸 American Mahjong (New Community in 2026)\n\nWe’re excited to add **American Mahjong** to our offerings. It’s quite different from Chinese Mahjong, so we’ll run newbie workshops and regular Just Play sessions from 2026. **Note**: Just Play bookings require solid prior knowledge of American rules. However, we encourage cross‑style learning, so if you already know one style of Mahjong, learn another with us, so you can play at any table.\n\n## 💷 OUR BEST PRICE PROMISE\n\nWe’re doing our best to keep **Just Play tickets affordable at £15** for a 2-hour session — that’s our **best price promise**. 🙌\nUnlike clubs that charge entry or venues that require a minimum spend, our ticket price covers only what’s needed: venue, staff, admin cost.\nAnd yes — with a booked ticket, **YOU ARE GUARNATEED A SEAT AT THE TABLE**, and we also provide **free tea, coffee**, and the occasional **festive treat**. ☕🍪\nWe're not a charity, but we are **deeply committed** to creating a welcoming Mahjong community. 💛 Your support helps us keep the tiles clicking, and we love seeing familiar faces return week after week!\n\n## 📱 JOIN OUR MAHJONG WHATSAPP COMMUNITY\n\nStay connected with fellow players in our friendly WhatsApp group — a space to ask questions, get updates on upcoming events, and even arrange private games outside of our Saturday sessions. It's the easiest way to stay in the loop and grow your Mahjong circle!\n[LINK HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IQXv3nGfbeMCfvI6HsGjfZ \"https://chat.whatsapp.com/IQXv3nGfbeMCfvI6HsGjfZ\")\n\n**Important Notes**\n\n1. Each attendee must be registered to our building in addition to the meetup ticketing. If you book two tickets, we will need both individuals’ full names and email addresses for registration.\n2. On **the same week**, you will receive an email from \"Aldgate Tower\" with your **building entry invitation**. This email includes a **unique visitor QR code**, which you’ll need to scan at the ground floor speed gates. Then, head straight up to the **6th floor**, where we’ll be ready to welcome you.\n3.

Our topic this week:** London is home to many different expats and international students. But sometimes we notice discrimination and prejudice between expats from different backgrounds. Have you ever felt judged or excluded by other internationals - or wondered if you’ve unintentionally judged or excluded someone else? In this session, we'll share our experiences, explore why racism can appear between expats, and discuss how to build more empathy and connection.\n\n*Join us for a relaxed group conversation where we explore the real life, the grey areas, and how our different cultures and backgrounds shape our views about key topics.* *Expect real talk, no judgment, and a chance to hear how others see it.*\n\n**\\*Come for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society—with warm social vibes before and after.\\***\n\n**WHAT TO EXPECT:**\n\n* Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange.\n* We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)\n* The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30.\n* 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)\n* And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling!\n\n**DISCUSSION FORMAT:**\n**Our group conversations are open and flexible - there is a very soft guided flow to ensure we focus on the main questions, and to ensure that everyone gets a balanced opportunity to speak.

But what *exactly* is a just society? Can there be real justice if different people have different beliefs of what is just? Must we trade-off or give up something if we want to create justice and equality for the whole society; and is that really possible?\n\n*This week, we’re diving into the grey areas, the emotions, and the stories behind the headlines.

No arguing - just open-minded exchange.\n* We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)\n* The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30.\n* 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)\n* And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling!\n\n**DISCUSSION FORMAT DETAILS:**\n**Similar to turn-based debates (like MUN / Model United Nations) or table group discussions.

A wonderful Christmas gift for yourself – and even better when shared with friends or loved ones. 🎁**\n\n**We’ve created a list of [FAQs](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eoHZXnrB9nny5MvZXWqeX2X0XmoeAgWR/view?usp=drive_link) to help you.**\n\n#################\n\nWe’re off to Norfolk! The seals in Norfolk are truly one of Britain's most special sights. Without any doubt, they're an incredible WOW factor and one that you must see!\n\nOn this day hike, we'll walk along the top of the sand dunes and enjoy stunning panoramic views across the North Sea. On our way, we'll pass the much-loved grey seal colony at Horsey Beach, which draws thousands of visitors each year, **particularly between November and March**, when the seals come ashore to breed. There are literally hundreds and hundreds of seals and their pups stretching for as far as the eye can see!\n\nThe whole walk is in the Broads National Park – one of fifteen national parks in the UK. You'll discover its iconic windmills, navigable waterways and broads (man-made, shallow lakes). With over 125 miles of lock-free waterways, the Norfolk Broads have more miles of waterway than Venice or Amsterdam, and are an extremely popular boating holiday destination! Locals like to call the Broads ‘the Venice of the East’.\n\n💪 This walk is **suitable for all abilities** – it is almost entirely flat and done at a very gentle pace to allow us enjoy the nature and take plenty of pictures.\n\n**HIKE HIGHLIGHTS**\n\n* Watch seals and their young from a close distance at Horsey Gap, home to one of the biggest colonies of grey seals in Britain.\n* Take a gentle stroll over the vast open expanse of the golden sand dunes of Winterton Beach – a Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest. The area is a veritable haven for birds and all kinds of wildlife and is widely regarded as having the best sand dunes in Norfolk.\n* See the spectacular Horsey Windpump – the youngest and largest windpump in the Norfolk Broads. It was built in 1912 to pump water out from the surrounding land so that it could be used for farming.\n* Discover Horsey Mere, often regarded as one of the most beautiful of the northern broads and famous for its internationally important wildlife.\n* Walk the newly opened stretch of the England Coast Path – a new National Trail around all of England's coast, which once completed will be the longest coastal walking route in the world (4,500 kilometres in length!).\n\n**DISTANCE & DIFFICULTY**\n\nDistance: 6 miles (10km).\nAscent: 50m.\nDifficulty: [Easy](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BMjvqhAAdSeCdyzLPHs0z04_e2TiKdci/view).\n\n**ITINERARY**\n\n**07:45** Meet outside ibis London City – Shoreditch Hotel, 5 Commercial St, E1 6BF (near Aldgate East Station)\n**08:00** Sharp departure\n**11:15** Horsey Windpump to Hemsby hike via Winterton-on-Sea for a lunch stop\n**16:30** Departure\n**19:30** London, next to Bow Road Underground Station\n\n**TRANSPORT**\n\nAs on most of our trips, we'll travel in a comfortable 16-seater minibus.\n\n**SAFETY**\n\nThis hike is led by an experienced, Outdoor First Aid qualified hike leader.\n\n**BOOKING**\n\nPlease RSVP and pay by bank transfer to the account below, leaving your Meetup name and the name of the trip as a reference (e.g. John Seals):\n\nBusiness Account Name: London Social Hiking Limited\nSort Code: 20-17-20\nAccount Number: 63116514\n\nWe'll let you know by changing your status to ‘Paid’ as soon as the payment is cleared.

START HERE!\n\n**Mahjong** is a timeless tile game played across Asia for over **300 years** — and now it’s gaining fans all over the world! 🌏\nBut unlike poker (where you know the cards right away), Mahjong comes with **beautiful but mysterious tiles**, and a few rules to learn first — that’s where most beginners get stuck.\nWe’ve heard it all:\n\n> *\"I tried learning from a friend but still had no clue...\"* 😩\\*\"My family got frustrated explaining it for the tenth time...\"\\* 🙃\n\nThat’s why we created the **Dear Asia Mahjong Workshops** — so you can finally learn *properly* and start playing with confidence.\n\n## 💡 WHY LEARN WITH US?\n\n🎓 **We’re Professional Teachers** – As expert educators, we know how people learn best. Our two-step workshop is thoughtfully designed to make Mahjong simple, structured, and fun—even for complete beginners.\n💷 **Affordable Group Learning, Guaranteed** – Just £36 for a two-hour workshop—the same as our language classes. We’re confident in our method, and we guarantee learning success by the end of the session.\n🌏 **More Than Just a Game** – Mahjong is a living tradition deeply woven into Asian social life. As a language and culture school—now also a Mahjong school—Dear Asia London is passionate about helping you experience these meaningful cultural connections.\n\n## ✅ YOU’LL BE READY TO PLAY – GUARANTEED!\n\nIn our **Newbie Workshop**, you’ll:\n\n* Get hands-on with the tiles 🎴\n* Learn winning hands & basic rules 🏆\n* Play your first real games! 🎉\n\nBy the end, you’ll walk away **knowing how to play Mahjong** — confident and ready to join future games. 🙌\n\n## 📦 WHAT’S INCLUDED?\n\n✔️ **Mahjong Instructor** – Friendly expert guidance while you learn\n✔️ **Mahjong Worksheets** – Step-by-step support designed for beginners\n✔️ **Free Tea & Coffee** – Sip and play ☕\n✔️ **Festive Treats** – Enjoy special Asian snacks (when available!) 🍡\n\n## 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 A SOCIAL GAME IN A SOCIAL SPACE\n\nMahjong isn’t just about strategy — it’s about **connection**.Come solo or bring friends/family! Our workshops are welcoming, inclusive, and full of good vibes. You might even leave with new game buddies. ✨\n🧩 **Note:** While Mahjong is traditionally played with four players, there may be times when table numbers don’t divide evenly. In those cases, we’ll either combine players across tables to form full games or teach you how to enjoy 2- or 3-player Mahjong variations—so you’ll always get maximum play time and fun.\n\n## 📅 EVENT DETAILS\n\n📍 **Where:** Aldgate Tower (just outside Aldgate East Station, Exit 1)\n👋 **Who:** Absolute beginners!

But what are we sacrificing by trying to be nice? Are white lies more harmful in the long run, even if we temporarily avoid conflict? Could the blunt, brutal truth actually be more helpful to us - and the people around us - and stimulate more growth?\n\nLastly... can we be blunt and friendly at the same time?\n\n*This week, we’re diving into the grey areas, the emotions, and the stories behind the headlines. Expect real talk, no judgment, and a chance to hear how others see it.*\n\n**\\*Join for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society—with warm social vibes before and after.\\***\n\n**WHAT TO EXPECT:**\n\n* Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange.\n* We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)\n* The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30.\n* 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)\n* And most people stay until late for drinks and mingling!\n\n**DISCUSSION FORMAT DETAILS:**\n**Similar to turn-based debates (like MUN / Model United Nations) or table group discussions.

Every month, we gather to explore themes around **spirituality, feminine embodiment, self-discovery, and personal growth**.\n\nEach circle centres around a unique topic—from **feminine energy, intuition, boundaries**, and **embodiment** to **self-worth, healing**, or **emotional expression**—but the intention remains the same:\n💗 To create a space for authentic connection, inner reflection, and collective wisdom\n💗 To be seen, heard, and held—without judgment or pressure to be anything but yourself\n\n🌙 **This Month’s Theme: Awakening Sensuality & Pleasure**\n\nMany women have learned to suppress their desires, pleasures, and connection to their bodies—often prioritizing others or trying to meet external expectations. Over time, this disconnection can leave us feeling numb, ungrounded, or out of touch with our feminine vitality. In this circle, we’ll gently explore what it means to reconnect with your body, your senses, and your natural joy. Through reflection, sharing, and guided practices, you’ll be invited to notice where you’ve denied yourself pleasure, release shame or guilt, and begin embracing the simple and profound ways your body wants to feel alive. Together, we’ll practice stepping into your full, embodied feminine presence—soft, sensual, vibrant, and unapologetically you.\n\n✨ What to Expect:\n\n* A grounding **meditation & breathwork** to help you arrive in the moment\n* A short **introduction to the theme** of the circle\n* **Mindful exercises** to reflect, feel, and reconnect\n* A **safe, supportive sharing circle**\n* A closing **visualisation, affirmation & oracle cards**\n* Warm, soul-led connection with other women walking the path of self-discovery\n\n🌀 Why this Circle was Born:\n“I created this circle because I craved **soulful, nourishing connection** with other women—spaces where we could go deeper than small talk and share from the heart.\nIf you feel that same longing—for truth, presence, sisterhood—this circle is for you.”\n\n🌸 Why Women’s Circles Matter:\nFemale connection is not just emotionally enriching—it’s also *biologically essential*.\nResearch shows that when women gather in safe, supportive spaces, they release **oxytocin**—the bonding hormone—which helps lower stress, build trust, and boost emotional resilience.\nStrong female friendships and emotional expression are linked to:\n\n* Reduced anxiety and depression\n* Better heart and immune health\n* A longer, more joyful life\n\nIn times of stress, women are wired for a “**tend-and-befriend**” response—**we heal in connection**.\n\n📍 **WHERE:** Blackwell House, King Square Community Centre\n\n💫 What to Bring:\n\n* An open heart\n* A journal & pen\n\nLet’s sit together, soften, and reconnect with our inner power—**not through doing, but through being.**\n\n**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PAID EVENT**\nThe cost is £20 per person and you will need to send me a bank transfer when RSVP-ing.\nAgnieszka Tokarska\nSort code: 23-08-01\nAccount number: 50094074\n\nAlternatively you can book your tickets via eventbrite:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1693391673079?aff=oddtdtcreator\n\n**Your spot is not confirmed until the payment is received.
