...year of communal living with scant privacy produced close friendships, a good deal of casual nudity, and a strong taboo against swapping sexual partners. The group talked and moved more slowly and became more superstitious, although members found it hard to sustain an interest in the Celtic religion. "I still can't pray to their gods and goddesses," says John Rockcliff. "It takes more than a year to leave this century...
