Agatsu Foundation

Agatsu is a section 8 - Not for profit company incorporated in March 2021. Our area of focus is Mental Health and Wellbeing - mental health is more than just mental disorders… Agatsu means ‘Self-Victory’. We believe self-victory is when one is most content with life and themselves.; and the path to said ‘Agatsu’ is when one is truly in-tune with themselves, and their choices reflect their individual beliefs: this is what it means to find one’s equilibrium. Everything in life is about balance and each person’s balance looks different. It is the pull and push, the taking control and letting go of - where specific variables in the individual’s life and situation play a huge role. It is a journey. Why embark on it? For a better day to day life, for a better here and now, whatever that may mean for each individual. It’s also a choice - To take your mental health not seriously but sincerely. Make it a part of your life. To that effect, Agatsu is a life-integration initiative to find equilibrium both within ourselves and with the world around us. We would like to expose those interested to our philosophy and make accessible the knowledge and skills we have acquired to aid their process of finding their own individual balance. We plan to achieve our goals through our Community Centre. Running 5 days a week, with various activities (from kathak, capoeira and expressive arts to open mic nights), all free of cost. Our community centre sees people from 12 to 85 years of age (though we have no upper limit)! We also have a clinic that offers therapy at a subsidized rate. We passionately believe in a holistic, non-judgemental, empathetic and preventative approach towards mental health.
