About

Henry David Thoreau: ”We cannot adequately appreciate this aspect of nature if we approach it with any taint of human pretense. It will elude us if we allow artifacts like clothing to intervene between ourselves and this Other. To apprehend it, we cannot be naked enough.” I don’t recall a time before wanting to be nude, much to my conservative religious parents concern. Who would regularly catch me running around the house, and yard, nude. As soon as I had a driver’s license, I would load up my car with a few friends and head to Black Beach, this was my introduction to a naturist lifestyle. I immediately felt at home, and I regularly brought new recruits with me! Not sure how it happened, probably pretty common story, I fell in love and married a person who does not share this lifestyle. Needless to say, our two kids grew up in a mixed environment. However, now that they are grown, I’m glad to hear they carry no body shame and are taking their first steps towards a naturist lifestyle. I’m here to find likeminded people who believe, and enjoy, this healthy lifestyle.
