My four years spent on Jarlanbah from 2002-6 were ones of delight – at being part of a committed community of staunch activists who had created a beautiful place for people to share their lives. Most of the many good people who had founded Jarlanbah were extremely hard workers, keen supporters of community values, who did their best to help mediate any of the inevitable tensions that will always arise when a group of hitherto strangers attempt to live side by side in close quarters.
I too have been busy writing about Jarlanbah and my time there in an effort to promote the positive values of permaculture communities. I have had various freelance articles re Jarlanbah published in respected magazines, and am finalising a book about my time there.
I don’t agree that bullying per se has been part of the Jarlanbah experience. What I felt, witnessed and believed was that a few unhappy individuals with their own personal gripes against the world in general, attempted from time to time to cause trouble. The majority of the wonderful friends I made there were very special people whom I admire and retain strong bonds with.

Well bullying is to be expected. People want power and when they have it they want to keep it. Bullying is part of that need for power. Professional bullies live on most communities but still a beautiful place to live. Bullies are generally unintelligent people.
