Warm Data Lab
at Worlds End Farm

🗓 July 20th–21st, 2025
📍 Worlds End Farm, Esperance, NY

“How do we think our way through the messes we’re in when the way we think is part of the mess?” — Nora Bateson

Join us for a Warm Data Lab practice and stay at Worlds End Farm, a 100-acre sanctuary for community, creativity, and re-connection. Together, we’ll connect and slow down, listen deeply, and explore. In this time of accelerating change as an antidote to urgency, we offer space to gather, wonder, tune in and experience the rhythm of the land. Space for new possibilities to emerge.

We welcome it all.

This gathering brings together neighbors, stewards, facilitators, and creatives to explore emerging “living systems” work in a rural context, planting seeds in ‘upstate’ New York while creating deeper connections to place and people.

✴︎ What is a Warm Data Lab?

A Warm Data Lab is like an after-dinner conversation stretched across the fields of life. You’ll explore a shared question from different vantage points - family, health, ecology, economy, spirituality - and move between small groups with curiosity and presence. A “kaleidoscope of conversations” emerges, revealing possibilities through stories, laughter, and insight.

There are no experts here and no fixed outcomes. Just space to enjoy the farm and practice being relational, and present. There’s nothing to prepare and no notes to take. Simply come as you are.

We encourage you to stay the night on the farm either by requesting a rustic cabin (no electricity/running water), a bed in the communal barn or bringing your tent and camping out in the field.
