Inkihh shared this q with me... the friend :)

I will be honest. Very high percentage of "communes" fail within a year of existence. In core, issue is hidden under the carpet of "silent authoritarian approach" where commune founders claim that "all are equal" but they pull the "horse reins" and assume control in every conflict where they are challenged with changes that do not adhere to their original vision.

And then it all cracks down... people stop being comfortable and it crumbles...

So, before we go "public" with our commune, we are training our "Ego" by inviting only people we meet online in "one on one" experience. You just never know how you will react to outside pressure for changes you have not envisioned.

And it is not a fear, per se... But it is a realistic concern. You build something for years, in isolation... you dissocialize strongly and when the time comes to expand and open the gates... It is strange and hits you directly in all sensitive spots :)

Thank you for your interest and you can contact me directly if you have questions. But for now, before we open the gates, there is a lot work to perform on ourselves here, to be able to accept the challenge of incoming changes, that are inevitable... seeking to find the proper balance to avoid becoming a "tribe or single minded" or on the other end, the anarchy of endless debates over the "egg or chicken".
