       | For anyone interested, there's a video of them here:

       | And an article on the previous "Atlantis" community of Primal

         | That latter article would make a great HN submission in its own
         | right! If you post it, email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll put
         | it in the second-chance pool
         | (https://news.ycombinator.com/pool, explained at
         | https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308). It's best to
         | wait a while, though, perhaps a couple months, to let the
         | hivemind caches clear.

           | Thanks! I'll try to remember to do it in a couple of months'
           | time. This is a fascinating subject. Or collection of them.

       | Man, that's a wild story. On the one hand, I'm desperately
       | curious to know what the truth about St. Bride's is; on the other
       | hand, I'm sort of glad that there are still (or recently were)
       | weird and unapologetic places like this that don't feel the need
       | to explain themselves.

         | It's more difficult to find untamed places where real things
         | can happen these days.

           | Yeah. You'd have to practice absolute discretion to avoid
           | that kind of harrassment. That'd make you hard to find.

         | A few years before the turn of the millennium, I took a year
         | out before university, and spent some time travelling around
         | the country (I'm from the UK) and working in exchange for
         | board.
         | 
         | A lot of communes which had been established in the 1970s and
         | 80s were still extant, and visiting was fascinating and an
         | absolute blast. Few of them still remain, and those which do
         | have distinctly toned down, moving from howling at the moon,
         | orgone accumulators and three day sundances to straight
         | ecological workshops. Bit of a shame, really.
