Shivalila was a commune founded in Bakersfield, California, in the 1970s by Gridley Lorimer Wright IV (1934-1979).[1] They believed if a child was not dependent on just its mother (who could have a dysfunctional psychological disorder), but instead had a healthy relationship with many mothers, a more secure mode of attachment would be created, which would birth a new consciousness model for humanity...this information is from the 'Book of the Mother'[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] The New York Sun describes them as a "nomadic cult of acid-taking, baby-worshiping hippies looking for the perfect place to bring up children.[13][14]

The Shivalila at one point became part of another commune, the Black Bear Ranch until they were told to leave.
