About this event

“Life at its core is all about relationships. At every moment, in every instance, the relationships
matter. Relationships build relationships” - Nora Bateson

In a world that can often feel overwhelming, we invite you into a space of care, curiosity, and humility to learn together and build relationships as we explore new ways of seeing the world and each other.


Conversations are one of the most essential places to draw new possibilities for our lives. No matter how old or young we are or feel, we all have questions, learnings and failures, heartbreaks and eureka moments. Through this Warm Data process, we will explore how we are all in this together. We will share stories, curiosities and reflections with one another.


At its heart, our Warm Data Lab is about slowing down and noticing the connections between us. It’s a chance to share your stories, hear from others, and perhaps discover something new along the way. You don’t need to bring anything but your curiosity and your willingness to be part of a conversation that unfolds in unexpected ways.


Warm Data Labs were developed by Nora Bateson and are made for a fragmented world. They have been described as a “kaleidoscope of conversation”, filled with enriching stories, laughter, and insight. They are not about quick fixes, but rather about exploring together what’s possible when we pay attention to how we relate to one another.


It’s an opportunity to connect on a deeper level and explore how we can shape new responses to the challenges we face.


As one participant shared:

"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."

Your hosts

Your Warm Data hosts are Jayne Johnson and Nicola Smalley, who together are passionate about create nurturing, transformitive spaces for deep healing and personal growth in these changing tmes.

What to expect:

· Open to All: There’s no need for prior knowledge or experience - just come as you are. Whether you’re curious or simply looking for a place to connect with others, you’re welcome here.

· Shared Stories & Conversations: We’ll come together to explore questions through small group conversations where you’ll have the chance to listen, share, and explore new ways of seeing the world.

· Cost: We invite a small donation of £5 to help cover the hire of the venue, however this is not a requirement. Please only pay what you can afford. If you're unable to register via Eventbrite for any reason, it would be great if you can email us below to let us know you're coming.

· Participation: As the Warm Data Lab follows a carefully designed process, it is helpful if you can stay from beginning to end. It is perfectly OK if you wish to remain in silence. We will be moving around the room.

“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!
