▪️ World Mental Health Day ▪️
At Culture Shock Foundation, we support those in culture & social sectors facing burnout, overload, or loss of meaning.
Don't wait. Talk to someone. Support is real and it helps.
Caring is work. Let’s care for each other.

Working in an NGO is often a mission, but there should also be room for fair pay and respect.
Decent work means work-life balance, time to rest, and the chance to grow without overload.
And it shouldn’t depend on the type of your contract.

Mental toughness isn’t about pushing through at all costs. 🍀

Take care of yourself, ask for help, and recharge. Small steps: enjoy sunlight, take micro-breaks, try things differently & note 3 wins daily. 🌿

▪️ Autumn begins with colour ▪️
Cooler mornings, longer shadows, golden leaves. 🍂
These colours recharge us – calming nerves, sparking creativity, lifting mood.
Take a walk, look around, enjoy this simple micropractice for resilience.
➤ And you – what’s your favourite part of autumn?

How to act without burning out?
With the POLIN team we mapped burnout, named overload, and searched for ways to regenerate together.
Next: resilience workshops with Karolina Pluta & Paulina Jędrzejewska.

Karen Horney challenged Freud’s view of femininity, showing how culture and society shape us. Her vision of safety, independence, and the real self inspires our #Mokuteki model against burnout.

Sept 4 - World Sexual Health Day
Sexuality = well-being, safety, consent, acceptance, freedom from shame & violence. It’s knowledge, care, autonomy. WHO: sexual health is part of physical, mental & social health.
What do you need to feel safe in your body?

▪️Movement that regenerates▪️
When stress hits, the body feels it first. Just minutes of dance, walking or stretching can restore balance. Not sport. Not performance. Feeling. At Culture Shock we use movement as connection and burnout resistance. What moves you?

▪️MOKUTEKI – a new model of support for the civic sector▪️
It blends coaching with knowledge of burnout, trauma and team dynamics.
The goal: resilience of people and organizations through mindful leadership, clear boundaries, and safer relationships.

Kobiety, które współtworzyły psychoterapię
Ich nazwiska rzadko pojawiają się w podręcznikach. A przecież to one wnosiły do terapii ciało, relację i uważność.
W sierpniu przypominamy dwie pionierki Gestalt: Laurę Perls i Ruellę Frank.

▪️ July 22 - Global Brain Awareness Day ▪️ Our brain is the central hub for our existence, controlling our bodies, emotions, and thoughts. Despite its crucial role, we often neglect to nurture, rejuvenate, and protect it from stress.
