Kaþarsis is the process of releasing, and thus providing relief from, strong or repressed emotions. Thus, it is the title of The Aurum’s initiative for the month of October, the world mental health month and CAS mental health month. In the time of a pandemic, where stress, anxiety, and other psychological & mental stresses occur more frequently, this initiative aims to provide an emotional outlet―a means for people to express themselves, their current mental state, and their inner thoughts. It is a means of catharsis, a medium for relieving oneself of emotional tension that may have developed in the time of pandemic. With this, people may find comfort in expressing themselves and in finding others that may be experiencing a similar struggle. Unity in art, be it visual, written, or performance, as well as a safe space for expression; this is the purpose and motivation of The Aurum for the month of October.
