What is a Warm Data Lab?
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.
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.
"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".
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.
Join us.

What is possible when people meet people as people, not as roles, titles, or experts, to discuss the changes we're living through together?
