MSLS DEEP DIVE: A TASTE OF WARM DATA WITH NORA BATESON
17 october 2022 - 6 PM CEST | Zoom
“There are unexpected possibilities that await in another order of parallel approaches. There is a territory of communication, relationships and daily living that allows for a total change — it is within reach, but not in the solutions currently being reached for.” - Nora Bateson
Warm Data” is the transcontextual information about and within the interrelationships that integrate elements of a complex system. Complex, systemic challenges are shaped by the interaction of multiple contexts—the economy, nature, politics, culture, technology, etc. —and in order to effectively address such challenges, we have to understand the transcontextual interdependence.
The Warm Data Lab is created to help release and revitalize sensitivity to the sacred processes of life that have been fragmented by the last several hundred years of history. Warm Data Labs are made for a broken world. The People Need People Online adapts this practice to exist in an online space, in a time when we need to be apart, and yet need to be together more than ever.
Grounded in over a century of deep theoretical roots and a lineage of systems thinking, the Warm Data Labs transform complexity science into an experiential approach of profound mutual learning and relationship building.
In this 2-hour session Nora Bateson will lean into an exploration rooted in theories that are often left out of systems thinking that inform Warm Data and get a taste of the online practice, People Need People (PNP). This experience allows for new kinds of unscripted and unexpected conversations which open fresh perceptions towards emerging territories of responsiveness where the value is in the relationships. These transcontexual conversations highlight the illusions of independence and widen our sensitivities to the entanglements of our living systems.

ART OF HOSTING TRAINING
16 - 19 June 2019
|
In a world with increasingly big challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, migration, poverty and general divisions between people, it is vital we come together to make sense of and address them. We face these challenges as individuals, citizens of the Earth, and as communities and organisations. Engaging and energizing ourselves at these different levels requires skills in dialogue, working in complex systems, and helping the whole be more than the sum of its parts. This is why we called the 10th Art of Hosting Karlskrona training with the question:
How can we build our capacity to co-create the world we want to live in as humans, communities, organisations, and citizens of Earth? What capacities are required to work with these diverse groups within a complex and rapidly changing world? What is the individual’s role and how can we empower each other? The Art of Hosting training provided us with the space for such inquiries. It gave us the necessary methods and practices to explore our individual and collective roles in the world through meaningful conversations. |
MSLS REUNION
24 - 26 June 2019
|
“Will there be enough leaders in time?” It is this simple yet powerful question that Dr. Göran Broman and Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt put out in the world in 2004 and lies at the core of MSLS.
Over the years more than 700 of us - sustainability leaders from 86 countries - have said yes to this invitation to embark on a journey of transformation on the beautiful archipelago of Karlskrona. And now it´s time to come home! Our intention for the reunion was to renew and strengthen the sense of our community - to celebrate life and the work we do in the world. |
