"Without the Resilience Program, my mental health and physical performance wouldn’t have bounced back so quickly from my four-month quarantine. Now I have my own resilience protocol to face any black swan events in the future. I feel more assured from within! "
June Liu, Beijing
"At Chōsen, I took a great, big, truly terrifying leap of faith. That leap represents a moment in time that I don’t believe I’ll ever forget, when a tremendous weight was lifted from my shoulders and everything in life seemed possible again."
Damian Foxe, The Financial Times
"I like meeting new people, and love the camaraderie that forms during my experiences with Chōsen. We may not come from the same backgrounds, but the one purpose that ties us together is that we came to Chōsen.
