Founder of The Lovely Society mahjong collective
Teaches and hosts mahjong events across the US and Mexico
Official ambassador for The Mahjong Line

Andie Ochoa-Garcia is the founder and creative director of The Lovely Society, a lifestyle and ritual collective centered on American Mahjong as a vehicle for connection, community, and belonging. As an ambassador for The Mahjong Line, Andie has built a following through retreats, leagues, and curated experiences, including her signature Camp Mahj luxury retreat. She runs lessons for complete beginners and seasoned players alike, and hosts open play sessions, leagues, and tournaments across Austin, New York City, and Mexico City. Andie's events are not simply mahjong lessons. They are social experiences built around laughter, friendly rivalry, and the kind of easy conversation that only happens when everyone's hands are busy and the tiles are flying. The game provides just enough structure to get strangers talking and teams forgetting they're colleagues — and Andie's warmth and humor keep the energy exactly where it needs to be.

Topics, sessions and talks

Tiles, Tactics, And Table Talk

Andie Ochoa-Garcia's signature mahjong experience takes groups from total beginners to confident players in a single session. Using American Mahjong as the frame, Andie guides participants through the rules, rhythm, and ritual of the game — weaving in the cultural history behind the tiles and the social mechanics that make every hand feel alive. The result is an event that is part lesson, part social gathering, and entirely unlike anything most groups have done before. Participants leave knowing how to play, and wanting to play again.

Why we recommend booking Andie

Andie's events work particularly well for team socials, client entertainment, and women's leadership gatherings. The format is accessible, the experience is immersive, and groups consistently leave feeling better connected.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.
