This post was originally published in my newsletter. I just spent a week in the middle of nowhere in the south of Spain at ‘RichFest 2’ (named after the organiser, Rich Bartlett), where about 20 people from the Internet gathered to enjoy each other’s company away from the familiar patterns of everyday life. There was a moderate amount of techno, there were participant-led workshops and there was all the joy of co-living, namely cooking and cleaning.
