I feel like I have enough content for a real mini-sequence, but I genuinely don’t want to take up too much real estate (even without the people who are particularly wary or annoyed by this). I’m working on the followup article(s). Here’s what I want to include:
1) Why ritual is dangerous, but also why it is important, and why I think developing a Less Wrong culture would be valuable. 2) What design principles go into creating rituals from scratch. 3) Analysis of the Solstice Party—what went well, what should be improved, and discussion of how we might want to do this specific event in the future and what we can learn for other, similar events.
I could cram these all into one giant article, but I suspect they will flow better in smaller, bite sized chunks. I can imagine 2) and 3) getting rolled into one if need be.

I recommend the mini-sequence instead of a single post, due to length-per-post.
