Chinese Heritage Program
"My ties with my heritage is like a fraying rope."
Many diasporic Chinese individuals have expressed similar concerns about their connections to their culture. We don't always have the immersive environment or easy access to our community, and over time, our own traditions start feeling foreign.
We are here to help you out!
Merge joyful heritage rituals into everyday life, without feeling overwhelmed!
