Soon To Be a TV Series
Voluntary Peasants/Life Inside the Ultimate American Commune: THE FARM, is bursting with true, far-out sixties stories—cool adventures, good vibes, warmth, humor. Entertaining and uplifting. The psychedelic sixties come alive in this multi-level history/memoir, written by a journalist who dropped out to live the story of the times and seek enlightenment.

An extraordinary journey from Greenwich Village beatniks in the ‘50s into the psychedelic ‘60s and ‘70s—heady, revolutionary times—times rich in lessons that can possibly help us now.

This book, Prologue to Voluntary Peasants, is the author’s back story entitled: Enlightenment What’s It Good For.

Melvyn was born in New York City, raised in Edgewater, New Jersey, attended the University of Richmond, was a newspaper and UPI wire service reporter and editor. These are his far-out adventures coming of age, going with the flow—riding a powerful wave of energy that raised consciousness and shattered conventional paradigms around the world.

After attending Woodstock, Melvyn followed the energy to San Francisco, sampled the spiritual smorgasbord of swamis, yogis, gurus and chose to follow hippie “self-realized spiritual teacher” Stephen Gaskin on a round-the-country, 100-colorful hippie bus caravan. Hop on a fun hippie bus and journey to Tennessee to begin a new life and a new lifestyle, a lifestyle the world can afford.

Voluntary Peasants conveys sixties energy, vibes, mindscape and philosophy. Beyond sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll—beyond hippies, true tales of a remarkable experiment in collective living as thousands of high-minded people join forces, pool resources and attempt to create a gracious, meaningful, sustainable lifestyle the world can afford.

Leave the ordinary. Let your head soar free and take a trip—an extraordinary journey from Greenwich Village in the ‘50s through the psychedelic ‘60s and ‘70s—high adventures, true tales channeling heady, revolutionary times, providing some insight to today’s times.
