Today's @britnaturism.bsky.social Naked Heart Walk at Leonardslee Lake and Gardens was rather wet, but it didn't dampen spirits. It wasn't cold and skin dries easily! And @helen.berrimansbareall.uk kept an eye on the café...

The Naked Heart Walks are to raise funds for @thebhf.bsky.social.

I always underestimate how long it takes to set up all the machines at NRG Live! Nevertheless it was a very enjoyable and successful day at @naturistfoundation.org on Saturday. Its always great to see peoples excitement when they spot a game they haven't seen in decades! Roll on the next one. 😁

We’re protecting people from the wrong things.

Fear of natural bodies distracts us from the real crisis: body shame, social media pressure & unrealistic beauty standards.

Completing our trio of naturist festivals in one month, thisiseverybody.co.uk festival! A completely different vibe to the others, much more chilled out. That said, we're off to Splashdown water park tomorrow. And this is definitely the last time I'm sleeping on an airbed this year!

A man and a woman stand either side of a multi-coloured light-up sign that reads "Every Body". A green wreath a fake leaves surrounds them both and the sign.

Missing Nudefest! Its great to catch up with everyone, and every year it seems more people are happy to be public about being naturists.

Seventeen naturists (seven women and ten men) standing, waving and cheering to the camera in a festival camping field on a bright and sunny summer's day. They are all nude and proud to be living without clothes.
