Free Spirit Gathering has several different resources for attendees to communicate with each other while preparing for the festival. Here’s a list of all the resources and what they are:

Discord

Our most recent resource is the Free Spirit Gathering Discord server! Discord is a free voice, video, and text chat platform that lets people create communities (called servers) to connect, share, and communicate in real time. Discord has been very popular during the festival.

Facebook

The Free Spirit Gathering Festival page is used for public announcements about Free Spirit Gathering.

Groups.io

Groups.io is an online platform for creating and managing email-based discussion groups and communities. It combines the simplicity of traditional mailing lists with modern features such as searchable message archives, shared files, wikis, calendars, and integration with tools like Slack, GitHub, and Trello. Designed to be privacy-conscious and free of advertising, Groups.io gives group owners strong administrative controls while providing members with flexible options for how they receive and interact with messages. It’s widely used by hobbyist clubs, professional organizations, and communities that want a reliable, centralized place to collaborate and stay connected.

Free Spirit Gathering has public groups open to everyone.

Groups.io groups can be accessed via email, or via the web. Below is a list of our current sent of groups, their web page, and email addresses.

Please note that if you subscribe to any of the lists below, it will require approval from someone at FSG before you can begin to post/read to that group.
