People Need People - warm conversations in online community
”We, as humans, need community, but before community we need to commune.”- Nora Bateson
Are you curious about how we live, learn and care - together?
Following a series of four warming and delicious online gatherings in September and October, our hearts (and our bellies) were left wanting more. So we warmly invite you to join us for two more People Need People sessions in November.
Please note: if you were already in relationship with us and registered for this People Need People on Eventbrite you do not need to register here again.
Imagine sitting in a virtual room with others from around the globe, swapping thoughts and stories about the world we’re all trying to make sense of. You don’t need to be an expert - just someone who is willing to listen, reflect and share.
People Need People is an online adaptation of Nora Bateson’s Warm Data* Labs. Each session will explore a question through our shared stories and conversations: we wander through the deeper patterns and multiple contexts that shape our lives and relationships.
There’s no pressure to perform, debate or fix anything. Just simple, meaningful conversation that flows – like the chats you wish you had more often but rarely do.
These are not workshops or presentations. They are about slowing down and making space for connection - a meadow of conversation where fresh insights and relationships can quietly take root. You may think of them as like the best after-dinner conversations you’ve ever had – with people you may not have met before.
When - all sessions run 8.00am – 9.00am UTC

Join us for any or all sessions. Each conversation builds on the last, but every session stands on its own. Everyone is welcome. We would love you to forward this invitation to others.
People Need People is an experience that emerges in the beginning, comes alive then wiggles into the social soil at the end. It will not be recorded.

Let’s slow down. Listen deeply. And discover what grows in the spaces we imagine are between us.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
