“How do we think our way through the messes we’re in when the way we think is part of the mess?” (Nora Bateson)
We believe it’s time to start experimenting and learning who we can be together. So we invite you to join us for a series of Warm Data Labs — a dialogue process developed by Nora Bateson. It’s a nourishing space of curiosity, care and humility that helps us explore new ways of making sense, communicating and being in the world.
What is a Warm Data Lab?
A Warm Data Lab is like the best after-dinner conversations you have ever had, with people you may have never met. Participants share their stories and observations about a common question, moving between small groups to explore the day’s topic from different viewpoints such as family, health, economy, and more.
Follow your curiosity: listen, share, and notice what emerges. In the final half-hour, we’ll come back together as one group to reflect on insights gained.
Why now?
In these turbulent times, many of us feel we are standing on unstable ground. Talking together in Warm Data sessions helps us see fresh possibilities for being okay within our changing world.
When we come together to share our stories and listen to one another, we expand our view of life, deepen our understanding of what others in our communities are going through, and perhaps even see fresh possibilities: “I suddenly glimpsed a new way of seeing as I listened to someone else describing her sense of the complexities we all live in right now”.
