Sankalpam is a Sanskrit word that signifies intention, resolve, or a solemn vow. It represents a focused and deliberate decision made with a clear and purposeful mind. The term is often used in spiritual, philosophical, and ritual contexts to denote a commitment or a declaration of intent to achieve a specific goal or undertake a particular action.
In the context of working towards the wellbeing of individuals and communities through creative arts, our sankalpam signifies:
The unwavering resolve to foster mental, emotional, and social health in people of all ages, using creativity as a powerful tool for healing and connection. It’s a pledge to create safe and brave spaces where individuals can explore their vulnerabilities and strengths without fear of judgment.
Creative arts, as modalities for expression—movement, music, drama, poetry, visual arts, and storytelling—are manifestations of Sankalpam. These practices help individuals channel their inner emotions, process experiences, and connect with others meaningfully. Art becomes the bridge between one’s intention to heal and the actual journey of transformation.
Through our sankalpam, we recognize that each person’s path to wellbeing is unique. The arts allow this individuality to flourish while building a sense of belonging within the community. It acknowledges imperfection and silence as integral parts of the process, honoring lived experiences and the courage it takes to grow.
Sankalpikham isn’t just a space of personal resolve; it’s also about community building. It’s the intention to walk together on the path of creativity and care, cultivating trust, equity, and inclusivity. By weaving diverse expressions and stories into a shared space, it strengthens the bonds that hold communities together.
Provide inclusive, accessible spaces where individuals can explore their mental well-being through creative arts and mindfulness, empowering them to heal, grow, and build resilience.
Integrate artistic modalities and mindfulness practices into mental health support, creating safe, compassionate environments that honor each person’s unique journey and cultural background.
Foster connection, self-awareness, and emotional growth through the transformative power of creative expression and deep listening.

We embrace intuition as a powerful tool for self-discovery, foster resilience to navigate challenges, and uphold inclusivity and respect to honor every voice and experience.
