👉 Naturism doesn’t break family values.
For many of us, it reinforces them:
– Respect
– Honesty
– Presence
– Acceptance
Different lifestyle, same core values.
🤍 Values matter more than clothes.

This is why we need to normalise honest natural freedom. To take away the fear and stigma, and just make it a natural part of life. It's evident by the many young people on our beaches and at BN activities etc that they want to engage with it when they're exposed to it (no pun intended)
When they hardly encounter it in a positive context they're less likely to try it.
Young people and naturism
Sociology, "the scientific study of human societies, social behavior, and institutions," helps explain how naturism is perceived by young people (especially)

Naturism teaches consent more than any dress code ever could.
Because being nude doesn’t remove boundaries, it makes them clearer.
Respect is learned, not worn.

I think I was more disappointed than expected when so few of the online friends I've managed to keep in touch with post-purge responded to any seasonal greetings. So I'm setting expectations very low indeed for my birthday on Thursday

Because music should be about honesty, resistance, and being true to you. Choose for yourself if this is about racism or any other kind of intolerance, it's all the more relevant today than even when I wrote it.

Bob Weir helped soundtrack a refusal. With the Grateful Dead he stood against hierarchy, profit and obedience, building a culture of shared space, mutual care and freedom. Anti-authoritarian, anti-corporate, quietly radical. Counter-culture wasn’t nostalgia, it was practice.

Still crushed by the Bob Weir news. Whether you're a seasoned Deadhead or you never listened to them before, crank up some Grateful Dead today in celebration of Bobby, Phil, Jerry and others. Your soul will thank you

Trump has declared war on his political opponents. Not metaphorical war, literal war. And he is targeting the weak and vulnerable first.

Really quite lovely out in the fresh snow. Didn’t keep the coat off for long though (-4°C). But I love this hoodie!

My heart is broken. RIP Bobby Weir, one of the greats. Guess the jam will be starting up somewhere else now. End of an era.

Fact: Social nudism isn't just about taking clothes off; it's about taking the weight of judgment off. Studies show that spending time socially nude improves body image and self-esteem. Join us! #MentalHealth #BodyAcceptance #AANR #Naturism
