About the House

In 2017, I opened Trace Zen Yoga in a community center offering teachings, Sunday sound baths, and meditation. A few years later, Meraki Kava Bar opened nearby. The two spaces shared customers, staff, and a worldview.

The worldview was simple: people are tired. Not the kind of tired sleep fixes. The kind of tired that lives in the nervous system. The kind that comes from too much performance, too much noise, too much pretending you're fine.

We weren't going to fix that. But we were going to build a room where you could stop pretending.

Over the years, the room got bigger. Both spaces became the first place a lot of people sat down and just breathed for a minute. We taught movement that didn't ask you to be impressive. The two spaces turned into a community. The community turned into something city-wide. Phoenix's ritual tea and botanical culture has roots in our doors. Before most of Phoenix's current ritual tea spaces existed, their founders were guests in our room.

We've folded both rooms into one unified space.

House of MKaz. Arizona's Ritual House.

Tea. Movement. Massage. Sound. Community. Under one roof. One rhythm. Built for the people who already knew us, and the ones who haven't found us yet.
