I'm organizing a Creator-focused hackathon and was planning to have a very thorough documentation of what I'm doing and the participants' experiences, to be shared as an open source for stuff like that to happen more often, more freely. Just got humbled/shocked at the realization that documentation is usually an after thought - if considered at all!! - when it comes to creative processes, with chances of getting funding being close to zero. Main reason is because there's no immediate profit to be made. Companies/brands/what-have-you sponsoring artists and their events or exhibitions are not willingly to stretch that budget to include a how-to simply because the return is not immediate. Showing the ropes so others can do what you just did is a bigger picture, long-term type of thinking that benefits the creative community as a whole, which is great, but hardly ever can be traced to that original sponsor. Any thoughts or tips on how to break this cycle?

My word for the month of October is ~~momentum, gifted to me by @thecurioushermit . It was spooky when Gwynne said that because... I had already been thinking of working with Momentum for a while. So I knew immediately it was right and I had to double down. 😂 For me, the idea of momentum was always attached to the idea of increasing speed. Thing is, its definition has nothing to do with that. According to the dictionary, momentum is simply the force that keeps an object moving. So this time around, I'll focus on what keeps me going - but small incremental steps - and observe how that compounds over time. It's likely to change over the course of October, but I'm thinking I will: -do a short mobility practice every morning -keep my streak going here in the channel -self-reflect and journal on where I want this momentum to take me (I'm navigating a potential career pivot) Any thoughts on how to keep momentum in a slowcore way? And what are your intentions going into October?

Last week my phone took a dive into a river, never to be seen again 🪦 Even unplanned, it was an opportunity to assess my relationship with it. I'm always trying to make reaching for the phone more intentional, but I was under no illusion that I do it way too often. Not having the possibility to do that made clear how mindless the habit's become. It gave me back some of my time - emails only checked from the computer, twice a day - and stretched my perception of time in other occasions - the 15min to the supermarket feel longer, not having a podcast paying in my ears. Today, as I waited for my new phone to be delivered, I came across Disconnection Practices: a zine with new approaches to relate to our devices. Some of the stuff there I already do, some will be fun new experiments. Leaving the zine here as I know phone use is an almost universal issue at this point, one intimately related to living slowly (or struggling to do so) https://attachments.are.na/3568310/9d8420005d1ff7ac32825f91553fa294.pdf

Polarizing opinion, Audre Lorde and rest? YES, PLEASE! I begin playing around with Are.na this past week and came across this article that I feel belongs here too. The author challenges the widely accepted idea that rest is resistance and shares their journey on not having access to it when they needed it most - and how that opened their eyes to the true complexities of rest and our work toward and around it. "It became apparent to me during my grandmother’s last days, that our choice to rest is not only stolen from us in life but also in where and how we die. I want to challenge the popular notion of rest as a choice. I want to recognize rest as both a tool and an outcome of resistance. I want us to merge it with responsibility." https://www.whatsonemorepothos.com/post/rest-is-not-resistance-and-that-is-ok-on-cancer-grief-audre-lorde As someone who thinks deeply and often about rest, as well as having lost my grandma to cancer too, this article hit close to me.

Libraries of Rest 📚 💤 How would you rely to the questions in the second image? Finally made time to check out an exhibition that prompts visitors to think deeply about rest and create collective tools to make it more systematically accessible. Super inspiring!! I saw ~~guilt named as a barrier throughout the exhibition many times, and I’m victim of that too. yet again, got me thinking about what’s needed for people to be able to slow down and rest. Beyond material needs - free time, bills payed, kids, pets and plants taken cares of - how do we cultivate the mindset to access rest in its many forms? I don’t have any good answers, but I have the feeling that thinking about this and sharing it more broadly might be a good place to start. For those in Berlin, the exhibition is is open until 22.09 at Silent Green. Worth a visit!

I’m a big fan of David Lynch - not just of Twin Peaks and his films, but also of his devotion to a life of art and following his creativity. After reading his books and watching interviews, it’s clear that the way he manages to do that is by a deep commitment to dreaming and the realm of ideas. One of the main ways to catch ideas is - you guessed it! - to slow down. How could we possibly notice them if we’re rushing through life? But slowing down is still largely a practice and a privilege. It gets me thinking, what are intentional ways to carve out time and get dreamy? For me, creating little prompts/challenges work as helpful reminders to break the flow of routine and invite dreaming. For example, lately I’ve been trying to take at least one photo or short video of something unexpected that catches my eye as I go about my day. Any other ideas? I’d love to add more tools to my dream kit ☁️
