Douglas O. Stevenson (November 5, 1953) is an American author, activist, and principal media spokesperson [1] for " The Farm", a spiritual community, once the world’s largest hippy commune, and one of the better-known ecovillage experiments in North America in the early 1970s. His interviews have appeared in a variety of media outlets, including newspapers, magazines, documentaries, and television news programs such as Now in America, CNN's American Journey, and United Shades of America.
Stevenson is also a lifelong musician and leads group singing, chanting, and dancing in his later years, particularly the Dances of Universal Peace. [1] He has authored three books, the latter two on the history of The Farm, including "Out to Change the World: The Evolution of The Farm Community" and "The Farm Then and Now: A Model for Sustainable Living." He was an associate producer of "Forty Years of The Farm," a feature-length documentary. [2] In addition, he has written over 1000 articles that have appeared in various national and international journals and magazines.
Stevenson has been a member of The Farm Community since 1973 and has served as a board member and manager. He has also been actively involved in disaster relief and international development work. In 1978-1980, he volunteered with Plenty International in Guatemala after an earthquake, and in 2000, he volunteered with the same organization in Belize, working on projects related to Mayan-based ecotourism and women's health. He was part of the organization when it was awarded the first Right Livelihood Award in 1980. [3]
Stevenson is the president of Village Media, a multimedia communications company he founded in 1981. He was also a founding member of the nonprofit PeaceRoots Alliance in 2002 and served as a board member of the Swan Conservation Trust from 2002-2014, a nonprofit land trust that established the 1400-acre Big Swan Headwaters Preserve, part of the TennGreen Land Conservancy.
