Upcoming
Warm Data Lab
Thursday 23rd July
5:30 - 7:30pm
2 Esther Lane, Surry Hills
Warm Data comes from understanding not just the parts of a system, but the interrelationships that integrate those parts into a living whole; what Nora Bateson describes as “information that is alive.” Rather than focusing on isolated facts or solutions, Warm Data Labs help us see how contexts overlap and interact in the complex systems we inhabit, from family and work, to ecology, culture, education, technology, and community.
Host: David Johnston, former Managing Director, Weleda Australia

Full weekend

‘Leviathan’ by Alexander Beiner
Expressions of interest
2 Esther Lane, Surry Hills
Social commentator and human potential advocate Alexander Beiner presents Leviathan.
A feature-length documentary that invites you to journey into the deep code of culture. The film explores our current social, economic and technological reality through the lens of psychology, history and myth to bring us face to face with the collective shadows we can integrate to find freedom.
Starring some of the brightest and most heterodox thinkers in their fields, Leviathan investigates why trust in our institutions is declining so rapidly, what social media is really doing to our hearts and minds, and how we can move into a new economic paradigm that chooses life over blind extraction.
Leviathan is a story of collective potential, revealing how we can transform the mindset that drives our broken systems into a source of creativity, imagination and radical hope.
Starring Yanis Varoufakis, Nora Bateson, Douglas Rushkoff, Minna Salami, Josh Schrei, Alexa Firmenich and John Vervaeke.
Tannins & Tangents
Esther Lane gatherings owe their best tangents to Freeman Vineyards, who arrive bearing vineyard harvest and leave behind ideas that wander home with us.
