If they practise scientology-style disconnection, and it sounds that way,  it's a case for professionals who know how cults work. Yes, they probably fill a need of hers, but exploiting said need as a vulerability to psychologically isolate and enslave people is not cool, don't you think?

If it's a cult, then I would agree with you. I have not seen cult yet in what Mike has said.

I know little about communes, but deciding to go live in a religious-based commune and cutting off communication with others for at least 2 months sounds cult-like.
