Celebrating The Lunar New Year at Brit

The Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, is a significant and joyous occasion celebrated across many East Asian cultures. It marks the commencement of the lunar calendar and is a time for families and communities to come together, offering well wishes for the year ahead.

One of the enduring and meaningful traditions associated with the Lunar New Year is the Wishing Tree. This symbolic tree serves as a focal point for people to express hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the coming year. Adorned with vibrant red ribbons, the tree becomes a visual spectacle, representing the festive spirit and positive energy surrounding the holiday.

The act of writing wishes on cards and hanging them on the Wishing Tree is a deeply-rooted tradition that fosters a sense of unity and collective optimism within the community. Whether it's personal goals, dreams for loved ones, or aspirations for the entire community, the Wishing Tree becomes a repository of shared hopes. The collective display of these wishes on the tree creates a beautiful tapestry, symbolising the interconnectedness of individuals and the collective desire for a prosperous and harmonious future.

This year, the Wishing Tree invites everyone to participate in the celebration on Level 18 at the coffee area. It serves as a communal space where individuals can share their wishes for the coming year by attaching them to the tree. This gesture not only enriches the festive atmosphere but also reinforces the sense of community and togetherness. The Wishing Tree is not just a decorative element but a meaningful tradition that encourages reflection, positivity, and the spirit of shared aspirations. As the new lunar cycle begins, it stands as a visual testament to the collective dreams of the community, creating a unique and inspiring atmosphere for all to enjoy.

The Brit R.I.S.E ERG (Employee Resource Group) extends warm wishes to everyone for a Happy and prosperous Lunar New Year. May the Wishing Tree serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, fostering a sense of unity and optimism that transcends individual dreams to shape a vibrant and harmonious year ahead.
