The new year brings new events — but we’re still having all the same fun! We promised our community a fresh slate of events and activities this year and we’ve started delivering. 😉 From sound baths to virtual reality experiences, see how TAP-SF kicked off our 2023.

Here’s our January #snapshot:

January 15: Sandbox Virtual Reality Game Day

There’s no escape from reality — or is there? In an intense session of VR, Team “Tappy Seals” successfully defended Hong Kong and the Earth in 2088! Despite the plethora of ferocious alien creatures, nothing could outmatch our team spirit…a type of esprit de corps that included lots of friendly fires and occasional fratricide.

After the VR experience, attendees gathered at the posh food court in Hillsdale mall to chat and enjoy bites of poke, tacos and boba.

January 22: Board Games at Cataldi Park

What better way to roll into the (lunar) new year than with some casual — and competitive! — fun playing board games at the park! On this bright and sunny afternoon, social committee member Edward invited a small gathering of community members to play crowd favorite board games like Monopoly Deal and Forbidden Island at San Jose’s Cataldi Park. Nothing like a healthy dose of competition to kick off the Lunar New Year, are we right?

January 23: Sound Bath

A small group of TAP-pers discovered the healing power of sound through a meditative sound bath experience at Grace Cathedral. After everyone’s energy was cleansed and rebalanced, we then headed off to chat and converse over a delicious hot pot dinner.
