The venue
The space is welcoming, bright, and open. The expansive views and very high ceilings are good for big thinking. There are many different spaces for small conversation and whole group meet-ups inside and outside. We have a log fire for wintry weather.
- Numbers: The space indoors can seat up to 20 people quite comfortably for whole and small group work. There is space outside when the weather is good for up to 50 people.
- Hybrid meetings: We have the technology and ten years of experience of running hybrid meetings where some people are face-to-face and some are online
- Accommodation: The Four Point Sheraton is less than 2 minutes walk from the house. There are a number of other good hotels, AirBnB, and local lodging places within walking distance
- Meals: We can offer a full catering service. Food and refreshments are locally sourced and can be tailored to your budget and dietary needs.
A social learning twist
At the Social Learning Lab, and in our approach to work, we try and embody the following social learning twists:
- There are no attendees, only learning agents
- The difference we want to make has a trajectory longer than our own
- Persistence is more important than getting it right
- Sharing your edge of uncertainty is a crucible of creativity
- Diverse voices accelerate learning capability
- Power matters
- Human experience is always more complex than its expression
