A Winter Warm Data Lab

Join us for Richmond’s first Warm Data Lab, hosted by Brandery Richmond and the Warm Data RVA team, benefiting Feed More!

These gatherings, developed by Nora Bateson, create “kaleidoscopes of conversation” where people meet as people, not as roles or titles. Through guided conversations that move between contexts and perspectives, discover what emerges when curiosity and stories intersect.

Tickets: Suggested $15 (minimum $8) at https://luma.com/i4fbml1r

What to Expect

“Warm Data Labs are group processes, which illustrate interdependency and generate understandings of systemic patterns for people with no previous exposure to systems theory. Warm Data Labs enable new societal responses to complex challenges.” ​- Nora Bateson

These gatherings 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 contexts to explore the day’s topic from different directions. Everyone moves whenever and wherever their curiosity takes them, listening to and creating new points of view. In the last half-hour we come back together as one group and share what we’ve noticed, weaving together the sense we’ve been making.

No special skills required. Bring your curiosity, your stories, and your whole self. Expect enriching exchanges, unexpected laughter, and moments of profound connection. Light refreshments provided. Doors open at 12:45 for a prompt 1:15 start.

Feed More collection boxes will be available for nonperishable donations. All donations will be delivered directly to Feed More’s Community Donation Door after the event.
