Friends,
A few years ago, I discovered this community of people doing these things called burns. I've probably talked your ears off about it at some point and made it sound like a cult. It's something that has changed my life and brought me joy and connection. Some of them are little gatherings of around a hundred people, others are thousands coming together to make a temporary settlement based on different values found in the default world.
This list below is good, but to me it seems to be a community based on self-expression and exploration. It's a place where adults expend a lot of effort on play and humour. A community people have value in a way that capitalism doesn't always allow. And a place to learn and grow. And some of the conversations and connections are far deeper than you'll find in the everyday world.
If this sounds like your jam, hit me up.
