She was funded by some kind of grant where she had agree to do research on this kind of society, but that was kind of a lie, as she really wanted to embrace it for herself. The author of this memoir went looking for a communal society to join after graduating from Harvard, and landed on Zendik. It seems like Zendik more or less finished dissolving at that point, although you can still find their Facebook page. It got some press a few years back when that farm went up for sale, after the remaining founder of Zendik, Arol, passed away. At that point it moved to West Virginia, to a large homestead. Zendik is a communal organization, you might use the word cult, that I'm surprised I hadn't heard of before, particularly since it was housed in Hendersonville, NC, just 30-40 minutes from where I live, up until 2003.
