The Group (commune)

The Group (commune)

The Group is an intentional community, now largely dispersed, in Sonoma County, California, which is based on the teachings of G. I. Gurdjieff. It began in the late 1960s when Anne Burridge (later Anne Haas) and a large number of members from Red Mountain Ranch, a commune run by her then husband Alex Horn, left the ranch believing it had departed from any spiritual path and had become violent and dangerous, and that Horn was becoming a cult figure.
