🔗 The Membership Lottery for Borderland 2025 is open until February 25! More information here: https://talk.theborderland.se/main/In this episode, we discuss our experiences at Borderland 2024, exploring how Microsolidarity—the art of building trust in small groups—might transform large, self-organizing festivals.We reflect on the challenges of navigating such a sprawling, decentralized event: the disorientation that comes from not having a clear "home base" for a week, the struggle of balancing personal agency with surrender, and the surprising cultural tensions that arise when diverse preferences meet dominant aesthetics.We also sniff out ideas for creating intentional micro-structures—small groups, purpose-driven camps, and better onboarding processes—that can turn potentially overwhelming experiences into connective ones.Is it possible to craft spaces that feel like home within the chaos? Can we design better onboarding experiences for first-timers? And what does it take to truly let go and follow the flow?💬 Let us know your thoughts and further questions in the comments below!Find Rich on Twitter: @RichDecibelsAnd Synes on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@softaccesshttps://www.microsolidarity.cc/
