"The Commune of the Golden Sun had been founded in the last century as part of the back-to-land hippie movement. The founders were idealists, egalitarians. Dozens of communes had sprung up in the counterculture seemingly overnight, like mushrooms. And then died off just as quickly. But Golden has survived for almost a hundred years. . ."
