Bateson Inter-generational Book Launch

“There will be no community without first communing”.— Nora Bateson.Warm Data is the relational information that describes the many parts of a system.  For example, to understand a family, one must understand not only the family members but also the relationships between them, the context they reside in, the ecosystem that shapes them and that is, in turn, shaped by them –that is, the warm data. Warm Data familiarizes groups of people with the ways in which the contexts of their lives marinate and overlap into each other, and it offers an introduction to the complexity of their own lives so that they may better see the complexity of others. Through this discovery, people begin to see how vital it is to tend to their families, communities, and the land, and they are able to respond to emergencies with warmth.At times Warm Data is also described more simply as: Information that is alive.Is it possible to respond to the living world without information that is also alive?These events are run by our community of Warm Data Hosts trained in the practices of Warm Data  by the International Bateson Institute and Nora Bateson.No two events are the same!

Two Generations. Two Books. Infinite Orders of Change.

Rich Mix

On the same day, in the same room, two generations of Batesons release new books. Belly · by Nora Bateson -written from the belly.In Belly : Nora brings the topic of infinite orders of change into the intimate world of intergenerational learning from the belly that has been tending and digesting all along: through the kitchen and shared meals, the birth room, the deathbed, the grief, the art that arrives unannounced, the parenting, the ceremonies and celebrations, the unsticking of habits of perception, the recognition of the among-ing of all life. An Ecology of Mind: The Course · Gregory Bateson — Compiled and edited by Phillip Guddemi Gregory from the classroom to the page.In 1976, Gregory Bateson taught a course called An Ecology of Mind. For nearly fifty years, the recordings of that course sat in the archive, unpublished and unheard by most, even while the ideas continued. Compiled and edited by Phillip Guddemi from the transcripts of recorded lectures, this 465-page volume breathes the course into new form and onto the page: Gregory in conversation and mid-thought, telling stories, circling questions from many angles. A new entry point into learning to think ecologically. Join us for this epic celebration of readings, conversation, recorded archives and discussion of over 150 years of intergenerational expression of ecological inquiry. Meet Nora Bateson and Phillip Guddemi as well as the Belly team: editor, layout designer, and artist Leslie Thulin Eubanks, artist Rachel Hentsch, artist Vivien Leung, and publisher Andrew Carey of Triarchy Press.
