Begin your day with Reiki and meditation. First Sunday of the month at 8:30am unless schedule changed.

Meet and mingle with local Japanese language and culture ethusiasts! Come to a Japanese Language Meetup to practice speaking, build vocab and finally figure out those verb conjugations! All ages and levels welcome.

We meet every Wednesday of the month, each week taking on a different theme (pair talk, presentation, grammar and vocabulary). Members have varying levels of proficiency, so it's perfect for anyone wanting some exposure to Japanese. We also appreciate any native Japanese speakers, who can join in the fun and help our non-native members! The best part is that Kaiwa Club is totally FREE, and the cafe where we meet closes up to anyone but our group. Hope to see you at the next Kaiwa Club!!

No limitations on what we do; just have fun …

Calling all music makers, beat crafters, rhythmic daredevils, Japanophiles, wadaiko sousha and travellers on the 和太鼓道。 Taiko. Wadaiko. Japanese drums. The big drums.

Now I'm here in Denver to get out and bring taiko to the people. Outside of Japan, taiko is not easy to get into. It's not even moderately d …

NEW! Japanese culture/language exchange! Let's speak Japanese and talk about Japan at different bars/restaurants for happy hour/early evenings for drinks! Still in the initial set-up phase but maybe meet once every 2 weeks in the DTC/Cherry Creek area on a weekday (maybe on a Thursday or Friday). I am back in Denver and was living in Japan for about 4 years and also a former member of Kaiwa Club over 10 years ago where we would go to a different place almost every time and had great new experien …
