Warm Data Lab Melbourne with Nora Bateson - Saturday, April 4th

You are warmly invited to a Warm Data Lab on Friday 4th of April from 11:00 am - 2.00 pm, at Abbotsford Convent with special guest, Nora Bateson.

Warm data has to do with how multiple stories come together, into a density of experience that manifests in a myriad of tones, textures, scenes etc, that surround our everyday life. To look closely at what’s going on around us as a chance to see the wider arcs of story that we are a part of, offering a means for us to explore how we would like to be a part of how these stories continue, grow, end, or transition

“How do we think our way through the messes we’re in when the way we think is part of the mess?” – Nora Bateson (Originator of Warm Data Labs)

Life is complicated and complex. Each person is host to a milieu of stories that offer vistas towards this complexity. We share them with each other all the time. By doing so, formally and informally, we nurture a shared endowment of awareness of the multifaceted world we live in. Long arcs of history converge into uncanny encounters.

A Warm Data gathering 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. Everyone moves whenever and wherever their curiosity takes them, listening to each other and sharing whatever occurs to them. In the last half-hour, we come back together as one group and share what we’ve noticed and any insights we have gained.

These experiences have been described as a “kaleidoscope of conversation”, packed with enriching stories, laughter, and insight. They nourish the soul, transform the way we approach work, life, and our communities, and ultimately, create space for new relationships to flourish. They can even plant new seeds for community projects to renew and revitalise community life.

"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". - Warm Data Participant

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 navigating within our changing world together.
