Therafields: The Rise and Fall of Lea Hindley-Smith's Psychoanalytic Commune I've only read 1-2 ch but it's fascinating shit. Therapist starts hosting groups, people start moving in, scales to 900 people and owns a lot of real estate in Toronto before collapsing due to conflict.

you might find the Therafields story interesting. I think it could be done a lot better with today's psychotech, although unless you find the right balance of everything, that might mostly mean it explodes faster.
