About this Event
Join us this Earth Day in New York City to experience a , and practice perceiving the complexity and interdependency—both intimate and global—in our lives.
As the many overlapping crises of this era intensify, so too does the imperative to meet them. Ecological events, political polarization, wars, economic gaps, AI, health and mental wellbeing, cultural/historic entanglement in epistemologies that tear us apart (colonialism, industrialism, racism)...
While there are no straightforward solutions to our collective problems, when we pay attention to our senses, our relationships with one another, and our curiosity, the difference between how things combine within you and how they combine within me allows for new collective perceptions to emerge.
What is a Warm Data Lab?
Warm Data Labs are like the best after-dinner conversations you’ve ever had, with people you may have never met. Participants share their stories and observations about a common question, moving between small groups and inside conversations to explore their perspectives from multiple viewpoints such as family, health, economy, and others. Everyone moves whenever and wherever their curiosity takes them, listening to each other and often sharing whatever occurs to them. At the end, we come back together as one group and share what we’ve noticed, weaving together the sense we’ve been making.
These experiences have been described as a “kaleidoscope of conversation,” 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.
