About Us

Ekaant Foundation is a Not for Profit Organization, registered under Section 8 of the Indian Companies Act.

We work towards making mental health care services accessible to all. We strive towards this end by providing therapy sessions on a sliding scale basis and also creating and providing free-of-cost resources for mental health and well-being.

We also curate sessions, workshops, events, and walks to encourage mental health education and to create avenues for people to engage with literature, arts, theatre, nature, and mindfulness, to enhance their life skills and resilience. These sessions go a long way in preventing mental health conditions, battling the loneliness and isolation that so many of us grapple with, and fostering a sense of inner strength and purpose that helps us engage meaningfully with our selves and consequently, also, with those around us.

Over Time, Space and Emotion
Richa Sharma is the author of 'Over time, space and emotion', a poignant book dealing with themes of nostalgia, depression, hope and resilience.
'Over time, space and emotion' is a collection of short stories and narratives that describe the everyday longings, joys, failures, victories and paradoxes that are indicators of the larger shared human condition.

These pieces are narrated from the vantage point of "I".

However, one must resist the obvious urge to ascribe a palpable or rigid identity to the " I".

Here, "I" would be better looked upon as an anonymous character, instead of a pronoun and is therefore, capable of morphing into infinite identities that may be ascribed to "I" by the reader.

The book is then a record of this character's journey, suspended in the intertwined web of existence, pulling at the strings of different themes and often weaving stories that leave an aftertaste of nostalgia, homesickness, friendship, love, grief, mental affliction and more.
The book is available for sale on Amazon.
