Hasidic Jews are about of far away from the mainstream post-modern liberal lifestyle of today as you can get, yet they don't run away to the woods or some compound in the mountains. They thrive and are growing in the middle of some of the most populated, and indeed culturally liberal areas on earth such as Brooklyn, Amsterdam, London, and Tel Aviv.

As society becomes more and more culturally liberal and insane, those looking to set up alternative lifestyles can study the Hasidic Jews and how they have built an almost complete alternative to post-modern liberal life.
 
There are many bad things about this group of course, like many see no problem being on welfare and letting others support them and their families.

Also, they are a bit too extreme on some issues in my view.
