▪️ Kindness – a quiet force that connects ▪️
Not about pleasing others, but listening before judging.
Kindness calms the nervous system, lowers stress, builds resilience.
✦ a calm “I see you” in chaos
✦ patience with your own mistakes
✦ care that doesn’t need big words

▪️ Stress – not an enemy, but a signal ▪️
It is a natural reaction of the body – it helps mobilize, protect, and survive. The problem begins when it lasts too long and there is no room for regeneration.

At the Culture Shock Foundation, we strengthen the mental toughness of people and teams operating in unstable conditions. Using the 4Cs model (Control, Commitment, Challenge & Confidence), we help identify what to strengthen to stay balanced & resilient.

We can burn out after work, too – while managing relationships & home or caring for family members without recognition, for example. It’s also work that can be challenging at times, and we deserve rest from this one as well.

15 years of FCS! That equals 5,475 days of growth, mindfulness, and asking difficult questions. From a small collective to a strong & creative team, we’ve tackled burnout, well-being, and spoken about what remains unsaid in NGOs. Thanks for being with us!

▪️ 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?

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.
