This article analyses the dynamics of the constitution and transformation of a group arising from the disputes of Post-May 68 in France. How have certain ecologists and neo-ruralists been led to bestow spiritual references upon themselves? On what grounds have the Findhorn community in Scotland been able to set up a model for themselves? This article shows how religious radicalization has been able to support utopian aspiration, and how this group's reacceptance of society has been accompanied by a religious disengagement. The author analyses this evolution, not as a “reversal” but as a “shift”, in that there have not really been changes of options, but of inflections, hierarchization and social arrangements. This has been possible to the extent that the group developed a progressive utopia, meaning by this that it already shared many orientations of the global society. The author raises the question of whether enlarging these analyses would explain the facility with which most movements stemming from May 68 were capable of being assimilated into dominant social currents and even of nourishing them.
