I’m a fibromyalgia and anxiety survivor myself. And I see so many around me who’re struggling because of lack of community, lack of vocabulary, lack of awareness. I want to work towards changing that. And as a writer and poet, I believe in the power of art to bring about cultural change.

We do performance and visual art events, including poetry reading, storytelling, music etc. The other part is where we work on catalysing community through support group and group therapy sessions.

Many things – like creating and participating in a discussion in a safe space, giving artists and survivors a platform and finally being instrumental in helping crack the shells of those who’ve been cooped up in their own helplessness.

By creating community, shattering stigma and by exchanging experience.

That every story is uniquely powerful and moving, and that a cookie cutter approach will not work in mental healthcare.

Passion, Experience, Aesthetic values, Sensitivity and Resilience.
