“The world is not made of matter, but of what matters” ~ David J. Temple
Intimacy is found in conversation, and conversations allow us to evolve our stories together, clarify our needs and desires, and contribute the disclosure of that clarity to influence a global shared narrative of what is ultimately valuable back into culture. Humanity needs more intimacy. By being together in celebration of our humanity, we restore a common shared understanding of what is ultimately good, true and beautifiul at the center of culture by placing our attention on each other in more intimate and alive ways. Conversations are made of stories. Through sharing our stories, we can rediscover how to be together, how to nurture each other, and learn not only how to respond meaningfully to the challenges ahead but also discover our unique responses to those challenges.
Warm Data is a new way of celebrating life through a new way of mutual learning in conversation that allows us to perceive across the complexity of multiple perspectives and contexts. To meet the complexities of the world we face today, we need new approaches that help us navigate this complexity. The Warm Data Lab experience is a way to learn to think in complexity by doing something that we already know how to do: share our story. Sitting together and moving—and being moved by others—through a Warm Data Lab experience opens us up to significant responses about ourselves, others, and the world. Each lab session is unique, and its impact may reverberate long after the experience. Warm Data is full of aliveness!

“What if one understood common sense as a mutual co-understanding?” ~ Nora Bateson
On this historic day of remembrance, we come together to celebrate and honor the last eighty years and reflect on the commonsense, sense-making ways of our ancestors, who shared a broadly accepted view of what was ultimately valuable, rooted in a mutual understanding of what was good, true and beautiful. Their world was simpler, slower, and more intimate, where people felt woven into the greater narrative of life, knowing they mattered, were needed, and belonged. Intimacy, created through face-to-face conversations, allowed people to feel the aliveness of desire and connection between them—their shared narrative was to advance mutual interest in the common good.

“The question is not how to make a better system but how to support people to learn together to meet crisis.” ~ Nora Bateson

The truth is, humanity is unprepared to face another global crisis let alone the real possibility of simultaneous ones that we currently face, as seen in the disastrous uncoordinated global response to the Covid-19 pandemic. At the root of these crises is a loss of intimacy, as we’ve forgotten how to be together, to recognize our needs, desires, and the deeper connections that bind us.

“The Greatest Friend is Real Conversation” ~ David J. Temple

But aren’t we already telling our story all the time? It's not just in the telling of our story that change happens. The key ingredient is movement. Intrinsic worth increases through movement. Since stories are often driven by a desire for greater inclusion, connection and shared humanity, the way we respond to shifts in perception—when we share, listen, and feel each other's stories—enlivens more value in our relationship with the world. We can find new ways of placing our attention on each other that are full of more aliveness in which "I can feel you and you feel me" and "I can feel you feeling me and you feel me feeling you." One good way is this new process based on Warm Data theory that has emerged through over a century of careful research by the Bateson family.

Join us—all are welcome.

Conclusion

May 4th, 2025 is a celebration of the remembrance of our humanity over the last eighty years, and a day to learn ways we might possibly make it through together over the next eighty. Let us come together to not only warm our hearts and our souls, but also our hands. The future is ours.

This event is hosted by certified Warm Data Hosts, trained in the Warm Data Lab and People Need People (PNP) frameworks, both developed by Nora Bateson and stewarded by the International Bateson Institute.

“As communities and families learn how to nourish life together, there will be movement in how they approach day-to-day life.” ~ Nora Bateson
