Релігійне самовдосконалення як основа культурної резилієнтності українського народу

This article is devoted to the study of religious self-improvement as a key factor in the cultural resilience of the Ukrainian people in wartime. The author examines the relationship between individual spiritual practices, such as prayer, meditation, and reading spiritual texts, and collective religious and cultural initiatives, including online prayer groups, joint celebrations of religious holidays, master classes, festivals, and volunteer projects at churches. The study shows that the combination of these practices builds psychological resilience, supports moral unity, and promotes the development of national identity, ensuring the strengthening of the sociocultural integrity of society. Particular attention is paid to the role of religious institutions and state cultural policy in supporting spiritual and cultural practices, which ensures the transmission of moral values and the consolidation of the community in conditions of military crisis. The article details the neuropsychological, sociocultural, and ethnocultural aspects of religious self-improvement, in particular its impact on adaptation to crisis conditions, the development of active citizenship, and the involvement of young people in volunteer activities and cultural initiatives. The author emphasizes that spiritual self-improvement contributes to post-traumatic growth, maintaining psychological stability in adolescents, and the formation of resilience and social cohesion. The results of the study show that the comprehensive integration of individual and collective spiritual practices, cultural initiatives, and state support is an important basis for systemic cultural resilience, contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage, and increases the effectiveness of social and cultural processes in contemporary Ukrainian society. The author emphasizes that religious self-improvement is an important mechanism for strengthening not only individual psychological resilience but also collective sociocultural cohesion, highlighting its strategic role in shaping a resilient and culturally active population in Ukraine in the context of war and the post-traumatic period.
