Became a nudist in spirit when I was a boy. After visiting Wreck Beach on our honeymoon in 2002 and then Black's beach a while later, I was hooked. We've been members of Glen Eden since 2011. President, Western Nudist Research Library
Director, AANR West

I had a great first meeting at Glen Eden yesterday with someone who is excited about nudist history and wants to volunteer to help preserve it. We have volunteer opportunities to volunteer in person if you can make it to Glen Eden, and remote volunteer opportunities if you can't.

More important than Ray's straw hat, WNRL has documentation of why Ray is in the AANR Hall of Fame (as the father of Canadian nudism), how he helped triple Olive Dell's membership, how he (of course) founded Glen Eden, and the essential role that his wife Mildred played along the way.

An update about Olive Dell. The situation for the residents is still horrible, but they still have a fighting spirit. And the court case might work out in their favor.

How has being a nudist influenced the way you see the world or live your life?
Today is #NationalNudeDay and it's about celebrating the human body in its natural form & embracing freedom. It's a day for many to honor body positivity & the simple act of being.

I'm saddened to report that Cec Cinder, father of the Free Beach Movement and author of the Nudist Idea, has passed at the age of 98. I encourage you to read Evan Nix's write-up about Cec on Planet Nude. Cec's archives are available to researchers at the WNRL.

This brought back great memories, of first seeing this movie when I was about 10. Even though it was the censored version, the visuals of Tarzan and his new-found Jane innocently swimming together made a lasting impression.
Here’s an archived movie news post from the Naturist Movie Database - Skinny dip nude swimming scene from Tarzan and his mate movie restored

Enjoy it while you can, Southern hemisphere. Out time is coming!
"Day without Swimsuits" is celebrated in the southern hemisphere annually on the 3rd Sunday of January. For us in the Northern hemisphere, it's the 3rd Sunday of July! Let's support our friends down south if we can! It's much better than wearing a wet piece of cloth! 😁🤗

And GE had another Photo Preview Day on June 15, 1963, exactly one month before it was founded.
📸 A Glimpse Into History
Did you know GE wasn’t officially founded until July 1963? This photo from 1962 is from a Photo Preview Day, held while the Connett's were working to purchase the property.
It’s incredible to look back at the roots of our naturist journey!

Happy New Year, everyone! As Evan suggests, each of us can have a positive effect on the nudist community.
Some hopeful thoughts for New Years. I started writing about nudism in 2020, when the world felt like disarray—COVID, the George Floyd protests, racism, and deep division. I had so much to say, but it felt like screaming into the void, like my voice didn’t matter. 1/

The fears I had never materialized. I didn’t feel any unwanted gazes & the awkwardness of seeing other naked bodies never came. I felt closer to everyone. We all shared something intimate and vulnerable with each other. Exposing our bodies was the ultimate show of trust. ~ Ella Kopelman

The journey to body positivity is not about changing how you look, but how you see. It asks for a shift in perspective by challenging your thoughts. In naturism, the focus shifts from appearances to mutual respect and shared experiences, creating a healthier view of bodies. Change how you see! 🥰🥰

Responding to the growing uncertainty in CA, Glen Eden is becoming a leader again in the regional and national nudist community. June's Operation Handshake was a success, and in 2025, GE will host multiple events, including the AANR-W Convention in August and a TNSF Naturist Gathering in October.
