Heart to Heart | Mahjong Basics & The Wellness Ritual You Didn’t Know You Needed with Brooke Lam
About this episode
Cristy M. Diaz and Brooke Lam discuss the basics of Mahjong and its wellness benefits.
Mahjong is having a moment but the real magic isn’t the trend it’s what happens around the table. 🤍 In this Heart to Heart conversation, I’m joined by mahjong instructor Brooke Lam for a beginner friendly breakdown of the game plus the surprising wellness benefits that keep people coming back for more. We talk through the basics in a way that feels simple & approachable so you can start playing without feeling overwhelmed. But we also go deeper into why mahjong can be so good for your nervous system, your mind, & your community from focus & memory to laughter & connection. And because we’re in South Florida, we explore the local connection too: how American Mahjong found a home here early on, became a staple in community spaces, & has evolved into the modern day ritual so many of us are rediscovering today. 🤍
