New Energy NEXUS Vietnam marked a special milestone with its 5th anniversary celebration. This event, organized by Thien Kien, artfully blended cultural traditions with modern ideas, providing attendees with a memorable experience. At the heart of the festivities was the "Cấp Sắc Ceremony," a significant coming-of-age ritual in Dao culture.
This blog post explores how the event not only honored New Energy NEXUS Vietnam's five-year journey but also made a lasting impact through innovative yet traditional experiences.
Choosing the "Cấp Sắc Ceremony" as the central theme was a deliberate choice. In Dao culture, this ceremony represents growth and maturity, marking an important transition in life. New Energy NEXUS Vietnam utilized this theme to showcase its evolution over the past five years.
The event was not just a celebration; it reflected the organization's journey, including milestones, challenges, and goals. By focusing on this theme, the organizers fostered a strong bond among the attendees, enhancing the overall experience.

The setup featured traditional Dao symbols and designs. Guests were able to appreciate the cultural significance while feeling connected to the organization's journey.
One striking feature of the celebration was an interactive experience that centered around herbal scents. Attendees could create their own scented bags from a variety of herbs. This activity echoed the traditions of their grandparents, encouraging a connection to their roots.
Research shows that scent plays a powerful role in memory. By allowing guests to explore these scents, the ceremony helped reinforce their connections to heritage.
Attendees were seen sharing stories and memories tied to the herbs they chose. This interactive element deepened the experience, highlighting the importance of tradition in modern life.
Food played a vital role in this celebration, with guests enjoying grilled skewers seasoned with mac khen, an aromatic spice native to Vietnam's Northwest region. The unique flavors of mac khen enhanced the culinary experience, marrying taste with culture.
The enticing aroma of the skewers filled the air, drawing people together and fostering a sense of community. The use of local ingredients not only elevated the meal but also reflected a commitment to preserving local culinary traditions.
The flavors presented at the event illustrated a dedication to quality while bridging the gap between past culinary practices and modern tastes.
As the event concluded, guests received meaningful gifts—a traditional bamboo box containing six herbal filter bags, used by the Dao community for hand and foot steaming. This gift symbolizes care and a deep connection to nature.
Using these herbal bags can promote blood circulation and alleviate numbness. They remind attendees how ancient practices and natural remedies are relevant today. These gifts served as a fond memory, allowing participants to carry a piece of the event home with them.
The organization of New Energy NEXUS Vietnam's 5th anniversary by Thien Kien effectively demonstrated how tradition can fit into modern celebrations. This event was not merely a milestone but also a reflection of the organization’s growth over five years.
Through the "Cấp Sắc Ceremony," attendees experienced the rich culture that shapes their identities and ties to the land. Every detail—from the fragrant herbal scents to the flavorful grilled dishes and thoughtful gifts—was thoughtfully designed to honor traditions while celebrating contemporary progress.
As New Energy NEXUS Vietnam looks to the future, the legacy of this milestone serves as motivation for ongoing efforts, showing that honoring tradition can lead to creative and meaningful experiences.
