Meet Cullen - Daoist Gate’s 2025/2026 scholarship recipient…
When Cullen first encountered Tai Chi, it was not through a lifelong plan or a neatly defined path. Like many meaningful things, it entered his life quietly - through curiosity, timing and need.
When we read Cullen’s scholarship application, it resonated deeply. And since being awarded the scholarship last fall, we’ve seen such great commitment to the practice from him; he is a dedicated student, faithfully attending 4 classes a week at our Daoist Gate Beverly school.
For Cullen, The Daoist Gate scholarship offered more than financial support. Being part of the Daoist Gate community gave him a regular place to show up, a sense of belonging, and a reason to reconnect with others. That sense of connection has begun to ripple into other areas of his life as well.

We’re proud of you, Cullen.
