“Personally, I am a pantheist and I am happy to
commune with the spirits of animals, trees, plants, stones, celestial bodies –
anything. There is an ash tree in a
nearby nature reserve that I have an ongoing relationship with. This morning .
. . I had a mind to go to see this tree.
I also had a strong feeling that it would be best if I made my way there
totally naked. So I did. . . I felt a
great strength come from him to me, for which I am very thankful. He also gave me an insight . . . Sometimes
when I see my tree there is nothing going on, no connection. This time, when I went there naked, it was a
very powerful connection. The lesson I take from this is that I have to be
naked to commune with the spirits and trees.
Another lesson is that being naked, even on a frosty March morning,
makes me feel happy and wonderful.” - Agustus, http://www.nakedrambler.org/the_church_of_the_great_bare.html

“It’s absurd
for your naked body to be hidden behind censorship squares in order for it to
be seen. It’s absurd to think of your
naked humanity as something unnatural.
It’s absurd to think of you (exactly as you are) as anything less that a
true work of art. Your body has been
shaped by the same creative dynamics that shaped the world. . . without shame.
. . The entire universe has acted in concert — from the beginning — to create
the conditions for you to be here… exactly as you are. The only thing that is obscene — in the
contemplation of your naked humanity — is the idea that you’re somehow obscene.
. . that you should be ashamed to either enjoy beauty in others … or to be held
as beautiful … in the eyes of others. . . Is it not a miracle that there’s a
human body through which you’re experiencing your life… right now? Wake up from the collective hypnosis that
tells you that your naked humanity should be shamed or hidden from sight. Wake up from the hypnosis that would have you
ashamed of appreciating the beauty of another human being. Wake up from the hypnosis that tells you . .

Saddle
Mountain Freehike & El Dorado Hot Springs
Only three naturists
attended, but still we had a great time.
Amy, Joel, and I drove
down to Saddle Mountain Tuesday February 27th. The weather was ‘perfect’ - sunny, in the
mid-60s. Walking naked up a dirt road, near
the base of Saddle Mountain felt great, the sun with a slight breeze
encompassing our entire bodies (except feet of course). The hike was moderately easy. The scenery was marvelous!
We stopped occasionally
to take photos of the scenery and our naked selves. The poppies were blooming. A circular natural-bridge could be seen near the
top of a hill. It was a special place and
memory.
After hiking for several
miles, we returned to the car and then stopped at El Dorado Hot Springs for a
naked soak. This was our first visit. Matt (the owner) checked us in. Birds and even pigs were in the entrance
yard. The naked area was separated from
other soaking and camping areas. The
cost was only $10 for the hour we needed to relax our muscles. The natural hot spring water was clear,
though I understand it contains healthy minerals. The natural temperature was about 102 degrees
– perfect for a long soak. The naked area
contained two group tubs, and five single tubs.
We enjoyed talking with several other guys who were soaking, even on a
Tuesday.
After soaking, we stopped
for a burger lunch.
All in all, we had a
wonderful day freehiking near Saddle Mountain and soaking a El Dorado Hot Springs. Those who couldn’t attend definitely missed
something special. We would recommend
this trip to everyone – maybe in the future.
Here is what other
attendees said:
“After a
nice easy and scenic hike in the desert of about 3 or 4 miles we went to
Eldorado Hot Spring and were pleased the entrance fee was only $10 per hour. The temperature of the pools were at an
awesome 102 deg. An hour was all we
needed! On the way home we had dinner at
historic Rock Springs Cafe! What a great
day!” – Joel
“After
spending 5 days snowbound in our home, this day was just what the doctor
ordered! The sun was shining, the
temperature was perfect, the wildflowers were blooming, and the mountains were
beautiful. Naked hikes allow me to fully
experience life through ALL of my senses. The freedom of feeling the sun and the breeze
on my entire body is indescribably delicious! Drinking in the beauty and sounds (it was
blissfully quiet) of my surroundings while naked causes me to feel at one with
nature. Relaxing in the hot tub at El
Dorado Hot Springs was a nice addition to our day. This is a day I definitely would love to
repeat and be able to share with many more of you.” - Amy

[In Sri Lanka] “Some women used to walk around
completely topless in our villages without anyone caring before the 19th
century and nudity was always considered as a natural and wholesome thing even
within the royalty, and was also very heavily connected to our art and
performances throughout our ancient history.
It was after the British invasion that things began to change with the
people readily adopting the new Victorian moralities. However other problems like misunderstood
religious and cultural stigmas . . . have sadly meant that people have come to
view nudity as something that is ugly and when it’s needed, to be an extremely personal
thing.” – Nick and Lins quoting Madushan, 23 years young, from Sri Lanka, http://www.nakedwanderings.com/2016/09/22/the-naturist-talks-madushan-from-sri-lanka/

“In the third state of nudity, you do not realize you
are naked, you are just like you are and it feels comfortable. This is up to a point that, if you’re home
and somebody rings the doorbell, you may open the door naked, or you want to
fetch mail and you go to your letter box entirely naked, with potentially all
neighbors being able to see you. And
this is where, some nudists, like myself, are frustrated by laws that forbid us
to be naked when and where we want, not because we are exhibitionists, just
because nudity is a normal and natural state for us. This is the state I am in almost every time I
am naked, should it be at home, at the beach, at a nudist resort or on a hiking
trail, or like now, while typing this post on my computer. While I cannot explain why nudity feels so
good, I embraced nudism years ago now and it just feels great to me.” - https://nuetheureux.wordpress.com/2015/04/07/the-3-states-of-nudity-on-becoming-a-nudist/

bonded quickly and formed a pretty good team. . . We hiked in nude from the
highway to the river (about 2 miles), then along the river to our camp spot
below the main beach and camping area.
We encountered several groups along the way, but as usual, our nudity
was not a problem. . . We spent the weekend getting in and out of the cold
river, hiking to and soaking in the pools, and just generally hanging out in a
beautiful area. We were generally casual
about our nudity and were seen by many people, including passing boaters, with
no incidents. At one point, a guy came
walking down to where we were hanging out at the beach. We invited him to join us, and he dropped his
shorts and sat with us for a while. . . All in all, a great celebration of
nudity and good companionship in the great outdoors!” – Canyon Hawk

What can you do when it snows over two feet? How about insulating the garage naked. I tried it and loved nearly every minute.
It's very comfortable and it's easy to forget you're naked when you're working. And you do something productive.
I once knew a man who quit naturism because he found it made him lazy. That's not the case with this approach to naturism.

“I was vacationing at a resort in the Caribbean. The first two days were spent on the beach
sitting in a soggy swimsuit and being chafed by sand. I signed up for a day boat trip and picnic at
a beach on an island away from the resort.
As we were leaving, I discovered that the excursion was to an island
with a nude beach! I admit my first
reaction was that this is something that was not an acceptable practice. I decided to go anyway, thinking no way was
anybody getting me out of my suit. I
stood firm, and, in fact, I was the last person to give in and shed my swimsuit
– but I was also the last one to get dressed to return to the resort. Why hadn't someone told me about this
sooner? Everyone will tell you that once
you have made your first visit, the feeling of apprehension will vanish. I was hooked, and that was over 30 years
ago. The phrase, ‘nude when possible, clothed
when practical,’ definitely describes me.

Club at Garambouville, near Evreux. . . Drs. Andr and Gaston Durville bought a

“Be an ambassador of nudity and naturism by being
consistent in action and words. As in
all social aspects of life, we should be courteous, kind, and respectful, just
as they should be to us. Too many people
mistake the meaning of ‘being courteous to others’ as meaning that we should be
clothed. That is not always the
case. It is left to us to decide when it
is or isn’t. The key is consistency in
manners and attitude. We wouldn’t feel
awkward meeting someone at a clothed event so why should we when everyone is
nude? The only difference is our
perception of the situation. What do
other people see in us? Is it
consistent? When we are consistent in
who we are (i.e. ‘not being weird’) it puts others at ease despite what we
might or might not be wearing at the time.
We are telling them there is nothing to be alarmed over. This is normal. It’s made easier by talking about nudity
beforehand. Letting others know not only
helps bring nudism to light, but also removes the sense that something about it
is wrong. This might seem small and
insignificant, but it builds on itself.
It shows that we are no different than before. Nudity is an aspect of our life like a
religion or practice and should be respected and accepted. Be an ambassador of nudity.” - Made in the

some into many generations - who find that they get on better with each other

“Some people believe that their bodies are not

others regardless of size, weight or body type.
Sure some may make private judgments about the appearance of others but
is it considered a gross violation of nudist etiquette to be open about
it. Those contemplating a first time

“Is there a child on earth who is born with an
aversion to nudity? Does any child care
about nude bodies? Does seeing a nude
body mean anything at all to a young child?
Does being nude mean anything to a child, other than perhaps a more
comfortable state of dress to be in than having clothing pressed against one's
body? . . . No, the negative reaction to nudity must be brainwashed into
children.” – Creative, https://www.truenudists.com/groups/view.php?action=viewthread&id=2925&idt=14836&page=2
“Doing exercise in the nude is great fun.” - https://twitter.com/Jackthenaturist/status/559706919712342016
“. . . really any physical activity I enjoy better
when I'm naked. I love visiting nude
beaches and walking for miles and miles stark naked along the shore. Hiking.
And over the past several years, yoga.
Of course, spending the whole day at home nude and reading a book is
just fine by me too.” – RobertLittle, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=6&page=7

“French
women bid topless sunbathing ‘adieu’ – France’s
summer is fast becoming a memory, and so is one of its iconic beach sights:
topless women. As few as 2 percent of
French women under 35 now say they want to bare their breasts . . . ‘It’s seen
as vulgar. People are more prudish these
days’ [Muriel Trazie] . . . ‘I’ve never done it. I’d be too embarrassed.’ [Sandra Riahi] . . .
When France stood up to a conservative backlash and refused to ban topless
bathing in the 1970s, wearing the ‘monokini’ . . . became a symbol of Gallic
pride. But times change, and so do
bathing suits. Some link the demise of
‘le topless’ to a simple change in French fashion . . . But sociologists claim
that the trend should be taken more seriously, with some suggesting that French
women have forgotten the achievements of feminism. . . Scholars point to the
aging of the Generation X in France and a step back to traditional values among
the more conservative ‘Millennial Generation.’
And where once authorities defended toplessness, there’s now an official
push to restrict it. . . the decline of topless sunbathing has also been linked
to the financial crisis. ‘If
breast-baring is a sign of risk and revolution, covering up is a sign of
safety. In uncertain times, you always dress more conservatively.’” –

“Yes, Heidi Klum is not a total 100 percent naturist,
but thanks to her comments in interviews, she shows that naturism is not the
outrageous hobby of a small minority, but is a practice that should be
acceptable to every and any ‘body.’” - http://thenudeguru.blogspot.com/
“I enjoy almost all activities nude; that said I enjoy
sitting on the porch in the evenings with a glass of wine listening to all the
noises of the forest. Being nude just
seems to accentuate the sounds of nature.” – John, https://www.truenudists.com/forum/viewthread.php?id=48022&page=3
“When I'm naked I don't have anything to hide. It's just all me, and whatever part of myself
I'm not satisfied with I still have to live with it because it's just the way I
am. It sort of forces me to accept
myself completely, because in the end I wouldn't change my body as long as it
couldn't be considered natural.” -

“I haven't worn trunks in years and I'm not going to
start. You can't beat the total
