Slow Weave Studio

A practice & production studio for regional resiliency

Session Notes — March 25, 2026

🌱 The Vision

Slow Weave Studio is a practice and production studio with two interconnected sides:

  • Practice — Movement-based and embodiment practices that cultivate minds capable of facing these times and producing what's needed
  • Production — Live media production, starting with The Local Weave — a daily live talk show on regional resiliency

The Local Weave is the first production. The practices feed into the production capacity. It's one system.

🧘 Practice Side

Scheduling & Sessions Practice
  • Schedule with teachers and students to set up practice sessions
  • Movement-based and embodiment practices
  • Goal: cultivate resilient, capable minds in the community
Slow Weave R&D Calls Streaming
  • R&D calls streamed live via OBS Studio → Substack
  • Deeper explorations of practice methodology and community design
  • Substack as the long-form home for the practice side

🎙️ Production Side — The Local Weave

Guest Pipeline Production
  • Research and identify guests working in resiliency fields
  • Schedule guest interviews via CRM + Google Calendar
  • Daily live talk show format — regional resiliency topics
  • Streamed live via OBS Studio → YouTube
Content Transformation Production
  • Process raw show content into digestible segments
  • Segment by audience type — tailor to who's receiving it
  • Neighborhood-level digests — info sized for local groups
  • Community pod actions — small groups carrying out action items together

🛠️ Tool Stack

Capacities Notes
Preferred note-taking tool. Markdown export less seamless than Obsidian but the UX is preferred. All session notes, planning, and ideas live here.
Copper CRM CRM
Deep Google Workspace integration — contacts, email threads, and scheduling all flow in automatically. Handles the guest pipeline and teacher/student coordination. Open to alternatives if something is more seamless.
Claude Co-Work AI
AI assistant for content transformation — taking raw show recordings and producing audience-segmented digests. Preferred over OpenClaw for now due to security comfort. No technical setup needed.
Google Workspace Suite
Email + Calendar as the backbone. CRM integrates directly. Guest scheduling, teacher coordination, and all communications route through here.
OBS Studio Streaming
Central streaming hub routing to both platforms. The Local Weave daily show goes out via OBS → YouTube Live. Slow Weave R&D calls go out via OBS → Substack Live. One tool, two channels.

🎯 Next Steps

1
Get clear on desires — What does Sophia want to be doing? Don't over-structure yet. These things are changing fast. Dream first, structure follows.
2
Map the daily workflow — What happens each weekday? Where do files live? How do things move from A → B → C? Goal: print-it-on-the-wall clarity.
3
CRM setup audit — Is Copper actually the best fit, or would something else reduce friction? Test the guest scheduling flow end-to-end.
4
Start scheduling interviews — Once the workflow is solid and on the wall, begin reaching out to resiliency guests. The hesitation goes away when the flow is clear.
5
Content pipeline prototype — Take one sample recording through the full chain: raw → Claude Co-Work → neighborhood digest + pod action items. Prove the flow works.
