How can we take care of ourselves in an environment that places high demands on us? How can we recognize our own needs, manage stress and burnout, and still maintain a connection with ourselves and others?

This workshop builds on last year’s session The Culture of Self-Care: Strengthening Dialogue in the Workplace and further explores how our inner attitudes, values, needs, and expectations influence our daily functioning, work relationships, and our relationship with ourselves.

We’ll discuss, for example, how self-care and relationships, stress management and emotional regulation, self-criticism and self-reflection, as well as kindness and self-compassion, are interconnected. We’ll also focus on finding a balance between our own needs and the demands of the workplace.

The specific workshop program will be tailored to the needs and interests of the participants. Therefore, on the registration form, you’ll be able to select the topics you’d like to explore. Based on your responses, the facilitators will tailor the workshop content to best address the issues you’re currently facing in your professional or personal life.

We view self-care not only as an individual strategy but also as part of the relationships and work environment that we shape together. The workshop will offer a safe space for reflection, sharing experiences, and exploring concrete ways to better recognize your own boundaries, manage demands placed on yourself and others, and create conditions for more sustainable functioning within the cultural sector. Because sometimes it is precisely slowing down that opens the path to deeper understanding, change, and a more healing process.
