A Conversational Art Form that Encourages Possibilities - WDL New Orleans

You are warmly invited to take part in a Warm Data Lab at the New Quorum, a 100+ year old mansion in New Orleans on historic Esplanade Avenue, in a space created as an artist residency to promote creativity and conversation

This unique warm data experience combines the charm of a historic setting with signature New Orleans architecture -- fifteen-foot ceilings, pocket doors, detailed medallions, period furnishings, and courtyard gardens -- with engaging after-dinner conversations among new acquaintances.

Warm Data has been described as a “kaleidoscope of conversations,” packed with enriching stories, laughter, and insight. The experience may nourish the soul, transform our approach to work, life, and community — and, ultimately, open new possibilities that can't be predicted. The conversations overlap and bring the depth of our interdependency into view.

This is what most of our ancestors did; they told stories, they pondered, and they sat together.

In this time of accelerating change and as an antidote to urgency, we offer a space to gather, wonder, and tune into each other, perhaps a space for new possibilities to emerge.

After the experience, the New Quorum will offer a tantalizing meal that is included in your ticket price. If you need/want vegetarian option as main dish, please email Shay at openingvoice@gmail.com.

• Smoked Chicken and Andouille File Gumbo served with rice

• Sweet Potato and Goat Cheese Gratin

• Roasted Butternut Squash Salad with Cranberries and Candied Pecans

• Brownies with Chili and Sea Salt

Doors open at 5:30 pm, we'll start promptly at 6 pm, and dinner will be served at 8pm.

Warm Data Labs are suitable for everyone, require no preparation, and English will be the shared language. We invite you to bring a human friend or three. Your stories, alive within you, are all you need.
