The Karma Community

After the Closing of the Pearl/Mercury Cafe building recently, the musicians and poets behind the Friday night tradition of jazz and poetry will be continuing the legacy and the historic event at Lakewood Kava bar and community event space, The Karma House. This event will be integrating the two communities and celebrating the new beginning of an open mic that has existed in Denver for over 30 years.

Things will kick off at 7 with a short Jazz set performed in the main bar. In the 8 o clock hour the event will transition to the more intimate Headspace for a Jazz jam followed by a poetry open mic into the late hours. Come experience the new rendition of this historic event continuing the legacy of a Colorado community staple: The Mercury Cafe.

🌿 About The Karma House
The Karma House isn’t your average bar — we’re an alcohol-free kava bar and community hub in Lakewood, CO. Our space was created to bring people together through music, art, wellness, and connection. From live shows to poetry nights to wellness workshops, everything we do centers around community and creating a safe, welcoming atmosphere for all.
🥥 What is a Kava Bar?
Kava bars are unique gathering places where people come to connect and unwind without alcohol. Instead of cocktails, we serve traditional Polynesian kava — a calming root tea that has been used for centuries in the South Pacific for relaxation, stress relief, and social connection.
🍵 What is Kava?
Kava is made from the root of the Piper methysticum plant. It has gentle, grounding effects that can help calm the body and quiet the mind, making it perfect for relaxing, connecting, and enjoying good company. At The Karma House, we prepare our shells of kava with care and community in mind — it’s more than a drink, it’s a ritual of connection.

Open Recovery Meetings offer a supportive, judgment-free space for people at any point in their relationship with substances—whether you’re sober, actively using, in recovery, or simply curious about change.
These gatherings are rooted in the belief that real healing happens in community and that we are not meant to do this work alone.

Facilitated by Kate and Holly, this meeting is led by two people with lived experience. One facilitator is a peer support professional and both are holding lengths of sustained sobriety. Together, they hold space with honesty, humility, compassion, and heart—creating an environment where people can show up as they are.

Each meeting offers time to share, listen, and connect through real stories and mutual support. There is no requirement to identify in any particular way, no expectation to “have it all figured out,” and no pressure to participate beyond what feels right for you.
This is an open, welcoming space grounded in respect, care, and shared humanity.

While no space is perfect, the intention here is to foster connection, reduce isolation, and support one another through lived experience and community care.
Come as you are. You don’t have to do this alone.

***DISCLAIMER***
The Karma House offers an alcohol free, harm reduction centered environment for those in recovery which primarily serves the botanical beverages Kava and Kratom. As with any substance you choose to consume, we encourage folks to do their own research and to ask the Kava tenders any other questions you may have to determine if these drinks are right for you and your recovery journey! We also have a variety of herbal teas and nootropic beverages available!
