The PRZEKRÓJ Foundation (pronounced ‘p-SHEH-crooy’) was established in 2018 on the initiative of Tomek Niewiadomski. The foundation grew out of Poland’s oldest magazine about society and culture. Today we are a modern and holistic center for those who want to consciously co-create positive changes with the environment around them and within themselves.
We want to support our readers in their ever-changing lives and accompany them in fostering a steadily growing, fuller, more conscious relationship with themselves and the world. In our fast-paced world, we help you pause for breath, feel your own rhythm, and continue on your way with attention and sensitivity to yourself and others.
We want to build a space that fosters concentration; we offer you time to think and reasons for joy. The content we create inspires change—both inside ourselves and in the world outside. The knowledge we gain helps us to see our agency; it becomes an impulse to acknowledge our influence on the world.
We want to move you, to trigger emotions that spark development. It is good to know things, but we do not stop there; we are always looking for ways to broaden our horizons in practice and to use the wisdom we acquire in our daily lives.
We believe that everyone can engage their talent, knowledge and imagination to create a more balanced, diverse and beautiful world. That is the type of world we want to live in. And since the best companion to sublime thoughts is simplicity, at the PRZEKRÓJ Foundation we focus on the basic and essential.
For us, less really means more. This is why the center of our interest is a close and respectful relationship with Earth and all the beings that inhabit it. We nurture awareness of all the various ways in which we are connected with nature, the elements, and natural abundance. We focus on healthy and organically grown food, good breathing, life-giving physical activity, the wisdom of plants, mental equilibrium, respect, gratefulness and cheerfulness. Almost everything we need for a good life we can find within ourselves. We are trying to see this potential, understand it, nurture and develop it.
We like to learn and enjoy the vast extent of what is still undiscovered. It is never too late to be awestruck or illuminated. That is why we cooperate with outstanding experts, practitioners and artists living in different parts of the world, in various cultures and philosophies. We relate their experiences, wisdom and stories lightly, with attention to form and a love for detail. In this way, we reflect how nature and art strive for beauty in the tiniest details and in cosmic complexity.
