“I think it’s our responsibility as naturists to show
people what respect really is about.
What living in harmony really means and how nice it is to live in an
environment where everyone is treated the same. . . Communication is the key to

“. . . in the right circumstances, nudity has been a

“Being born again believers in God, we still felt that
nudism was a right, good, and healthy lifestyle. After more online study we were convinced
that true nudism was not about sex and we scheduled a visit to Pine Tree
Resort, in Crownsville, MD. . . We undressed and toured the grounds. People were swimming, playing tennis,
grilling and just relaxing as at any resort in a park-like setting. There was an indoor and an outdoor pool, a
hot tub, a hiking trail, snack bar, gift shop, etc. It was our first time swimming nude, and we
have never worn a swimsuit since that day. . . The most difficult part of that
first day nude was having to get dressed for the trip back home.” - Captain

My Dream
I envision a time in the not too distant future when
the naked lifestyle is considered natural and normal and acceptable by the
majority. In order to facilitate this, I
suggest the creation of “N-Teams”. N-Teams
would be made up of ‘volunteers’, typically experienced naturists/nudists, who are
open and willing to share the lifestyle with others. Rather than a large national organization, N-Teams
would consist of small groups, helping the local community. Experienced N-Teams would encourage and help establish
other forming teams. They would refer
interested people outside their local area to other closer N-Teams. N-Teams would consolidate naturist efforts
and offer a point-of-contact for ‘local’ organizations, media outlets, and
interested individuals.
Therefore, I have set a goal helping establish at
least five N-Teams in the U.S. during 2020 and will work hard to make it happen.
N-Team
Mission
Our local N-Team’s mission is to normalize
naturism/nudism by . . .

Naturist Benefits (4 H’s)
Happiness
- Don’t be afraid; try something different. This is the most important reason to be a naked person. The sun and breeze caressing the entire body
feels amazing. And you can avoid the
burden of uncomfortable, ill-fitting clothes that shut out the world. Not only that, but naked is FUN! Remember skinny-dipping? Playing naked is like being a carefree child
again. Freedom is essential to
happiness, and being naked is totally freeing; every-day cares and other’s negative
opinions are forgotten. Have fun! Don't stay sad, lonely, and depressed. Get naked if you
want more happiness and joy in your life.
Are you happy and
joyful, or are you lonely and depressed? We can help! Contact us
at 928-554-5155.
Health
- Exhibitionism, voyeurism, inappropriate sexual thoughts, sexy behavior,
pornography, and the like simply disappear in the light of naked reality,
letting you can focus on spirituality, creativity, and mental SHARPNESS. And a naked life makes you STRONG physically. Naked, your body soaks in lots of healthy
vitamin D from the sun. Seasonal
Affective Disorder (SAD) disappears. The
love of nature and the outdoors grows, motivating natural activity and
exercise. Nudity encourages healthy
eating. And STRESS is greatly reduced,
bringing calmness, complete relaxation, and comfort. Inhibitions and shame disappear.
Are you physically and
mentally healthy? If not, contact us at
928-554-5155. We can help!
Humanity
– Naked means being truly Human, so less judgmental, with a positive impact on
the environment. realistic body image, and close social interactions. Naturists care about the environment; it’s
not unusual for them to clean up the outdoors after clothed people depart. Reduced clothing, laundry, detergent, and
water use all have significant impacts. In
addition, seeing other’s bodies confirms that no one is perfect, giving you a
realistic BODY IMAGE, quickly discarding comparisons and negative
thoughts. Everyone’s body is beautiful –
flaws, scars, weight (or lack thereof) don’t get in the way anymore. With this non-judgmental attitude, and lack
of concern about body image, it’s easier to be SOCIABLE, to make new
acquaintances and friends.
Do
you love the environment? Are you
non-judgmental about your body image - a beautiful person? Are you lonely? We can help! Contact us at 928-554-5155.
Honesty
- Finally, nakedness encourages openness, truthfulness, confidence, and humility. A naked person doesn’t depend on others’ opinions. Be CONFIDENT!
Don’t hide behind walls and curtains.
Confidence makes you attractive. Be
who you are! And be HUMBLE, open,
teachable, and willing to share with others.
A Humble person accepts the Truth, which brings a person closer to deity
- spirituality increases. Nakedness
therefore helps one live a more honest, spiritual life.
Are
you living a lie? If so, nothing will be
right! If your life seems to be a lie,
contact us at 928-554-5155. We can help!
5-Step Process
Everyone progresses in an individual way. So, we help you set your own individual goals, and then monitor your progress using the ASHOS process:
- Accept
naked truth
- Sleep
naked
- Home naked
- Outdoors naked
- Socialize

“This whole idea of body shame isn’t a natural thing,
it’s a learned and conditioned concept enforced upon us by society. It’s stupid!
Just because other people are ashamed of their bodies doesn’t mean that
we have to be ashamed of ours. And as
for being shocked by the sight of a nude human body, well that is plain
nonsense too. We each have a body, so
it’s not like they haven’t seen a nude one before. And if they have never seen another person
nude before, then they must be living under a rock. If nudity was more mainstream, most people
wouldn’t mind it all, I’m certain.” – Nakednewf, https://clothesfreelife.com/2014/02/18/a-house-divided-cannot-stand-whats-happening-to-the-clothes-free-community/

that most of us didn't look at one another’s genitals at all once the novelty

uncomfortable. I voluntarily put on some
clothing. We were working with some
pressure treated wood and splintery material, and old termite eaten logs. I put on some clothing during that. I did the rebar, and steel lathe with only
gloves and various shoes. So, I guess there
can be a reasonable place for clothing – sometimes - I'm still considering the
plastic roof cement, roofing paper, and the ferro-cement aspects and what to
wear or not. I'll probably nail down the
roof naked, although the new neighbor's construction project is probably in
view in the distance. The sun feels

“As I grew older . . . I grew more confident every
year, more sure of myself, more in love with a body that I could not
automatically change, nor that was I particularly desperate to. I emerged from my teenage years with a better
understanding of myself as well as my body, thanks to body-positive activists
as well as the heightened visibility of diverse body types through social
media. I started letting go, having fun,
and embracing my body publicly. But
while it gave me level of confidence that I had not previously known, it still
didn’t shield me from the harmful observations that bodies like mine inspire. .
. With our nude photoshoot, my friends and I pushed back on these stereotypes.
