City Editor Callie here. Last month, I wrote a piece about a new generation of American mahjong players emerging in Charleston + more recently had the chance to join Holy Mahj at The Charleston Place for Mahjong Mondays.

Keep reading to learn more about Holy Mahj as I recently chatted with the owners.

Tell us about your group:
We are Anne + Caroline of Holy Mahj, local Charleston-based mahjong instructors. Holy Mahj was born in Charleston, the Holy City, and we love sharing the game we love with so many groups of players, which range from new to advanced. We have been teaching mahjong in Charleston since June of 2023. Although this is a job for us, we’ve found so much joy in teaching the Charleston community, bringing joy and laughter to Charlestonians in such a short amount of time, and working with amazing local businesses.

From the editor
I love love love the weekend, but there’s something so calming about Mondays. Who doesn’t enjoy a fresh start to the week, especially with some good coffee — try a cup of Brown Fox Coffee’s Chocolate Covered Raspberries (it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day + will put a pep in your step).
