“You can be a nudist too . . . all you need is an open mind.  If you’re a real individual and itching to get out of the ‘pack’, perhaps you want a new approach to life.” - C. Anthony, http://www.aanr.com/downloads/newsletter/January-2017.pdf

“Some people may argue in favor of concealment because the practice protects what we value, but would it not be much BETTER to teach everyone to respect the beauty of humanity?  To always defend life, to believe each unique person is a glorious work of creation we only barely understand, and to praise every effort put forth to gain strength, build physical coordination, increase endurance, sharpen the mind, develop language skills, or SIMPLY enjoy being human . . . Spread to word.  Spread the love!  Build trust and respect!  STOP destroying the handiwork of God!” - http://centauri4-naturism.tumblr.com/post/148934975766/naked-philosophy-how-do-we-decide-the-things-we

“In France, the term ‘naturism’ was used for the first time in 1778 by a man named Planchon, in a book advocating a better lifestyle by observing the laws of Nature.  However, it was in the twenties that naturism really took off, driven by public health officers encouraging a healthier way of life.  The naturist movement was officially recognized in the late 1930s, by Léo Lagrange.  The first naturist resort in Europe opened in France in 1950, in Gironde.” - http://naturism.france.fr/frequently-asked-questions/

“There is nothing quite like getting naked, grabbing a hoe, and heading to the back forty to plant the seed.” - Wooba Gooba, http://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/index.ssf/2017/04/michigan_cities_are_apparently.html

“Holy Body Worship is an [NYC] Interfaith spiritual service that celebrates the intimacy and uniqueness of the body and soul relationship.  This occurs through honoring and acknowledging the body as a temple and recognizing it as the vessel chosen by our soul for incarnation.  The option of being naked or skyclad during Service is used to further express reverence and celebrate our body-soul relationship to Source.  Our bodies are beautiful miracles, complex ecosystems, walking art – each unique, holy and a piece of God/Goddess/Source. . . In Holy Body Worship, we choose to be nude or to celebrate with others who are nude to explore a deeper level of intimacy with our bodies, our souls, each other, and the divine.  To remove that which keeps us separate – and to bring us back into the right relationship with body, soul, Source.” - Isis Phoenix, https://youngnaturistsamerica.com/naked-church-guest-blog/
