Slowcore is an affirmation of a commitment to cultivating patience, holding space for emergence, protecting our time and attention from extractive forces, and respecting the indwelling intelligence of the creative process.
A 'north star' for slowcore aficionados is deep refinement, reclaiming, and sovereignty of human attention.
Slowcore was first used by Danica Swanson to express distaste for hustle culture, and later adopted as the name of a Farcaster channel for Black Stone Sanctuary, a Pagan polytheist monastery-bootstrapping project by Danica Swanson and Trish Deneen.
(Note: there is also a musical genre called slowcore, so to avoid confusion, we don't use the term in musical contexts).
