No group chat. No newsletter. No algorithm deciding what you see. When something is happening, a letter arrives at your door. That's how you'll know.
Before the website. Before the kit was finished. Before most people knew what Flip was. We started gathering anyway. These are the ones that happened.
Finish your 7 days and you're in. No application. No approval. Everyone who completes a Flip becomes part of the community automatically.
Before each gathering, a handwritten-style letter arrives at your address. Date, location, a line or two about what to expect. Nothing more. No reminders. No follow ups.
To RSVP simply send a letter back with your name and whether you are coming. That is all we need.
No agenda. No speakers. No networking in the horrible sense of the word. Just people who've shared an unusual experience, in a nice room, with good drinks.
The gatherings are small deliberately. When something grows too large it loses the thing that made it worth attending. We'd rather have thirty people who are genuinely present than three hundred who are half elsewhere.
If you've done a Flip, you belong here.
Every photo taken during every Flip experience gets developed and printed. Twice a year at our gatherings, the albums come out. You find your photos mixed in with everyone else's. Strangers' moments beside yours.
No screens. No scrolling. Just printed photographs and the people who took them.
Complete your Flip and you'll be asked for a postal address. That's the only thing we need. No account. No profile. No preferences to set. Just somewhere to send a letter.
