I recently spent a few days in the New Forest, including a nice, long walk (15km). Too cold for a #naturist walk, but I could feel an almost irresistible urge to strip off and absorb the benefits of #forestbathing . There is sound science behind the practice too

I write my web site, and post on Bluesky anonymously. There are good reasons for that, as this post explains. However, there may be reasons for revealing my identity as well. For the time being, my #naturist interests may be a barrier to work, but who knows about the future?
Why I remain anonymous (for now)
You may have noticed that I am currently writing this website anonymously. This might seem odd, as one of the points of the site is to discover possible business opportunities and collaborations. So, who am I? Should I reveal myself?

More evidence for the health benefits of #naturism. Modern indoor lighting may be bad for your health, but there are ways to overcome the lack of beneficial wavelengths. Get #naked and immerse your body in full spectrum light. Take part in #naturist #forestbathing
Light for health
On November 17, I attended the Biophilic Design Conference in London, where Ulysse Dormoy discussed the health impacts of modern office lighting, particularly the absence of near-infrared (NIR) light. This deficiency may impair mitochondrial function, accelerate aging, and disrupt circadian rhythms, emphasizing the need for full-spectrum lighting in built environments. This post also explores the benefits of total immersion in better light and explains possible additional benefits to naked forest bathing and naturism.

By baring all and removing that which separates us from nature we can then truly become part of nature. It is both liberating and challenging to be so exposed.
A heightened sense of vulnerability can be enlightening and thought-provoking, and maybe even a bit thrilling.

Safe vulnerability
This article explores the idea of aletheia, or truth revealing, through vulnerability in nature. It emphasizes the liberating yet challenging experience of being completely exposed to, and immersed in nature whilst also being safe. Suggestions on how to foster this connection at home are offered as well as ideas about wild swimming and accessing and creating secluded areas for contemplation.

We are failing to achieve true sensory coherence in the built environment because we are ignoring a fundamental sensory organ of human connection: the skin. #Naturism might be the antidote. #nakedwellness #biophilia
Biophilic designers often forget our largest sense organ
Biophilic design aims to reconnect humans with nature, countering urban stress. However, clothing creates barriers that hinder sensory interaction with the environment, resulting in sensory dissonance. Embracing naturism enhances interoceptive awareness, promoting self-acceptance. Designing Aletheic Spaces can foster deeper connections to nature, emphasizing authenticity and sensory engagement for overall well-being.

We are constantly told by the media and authorities that these are both 'forest'.
One is a complex, diverse native ecosystem, full of life. The other is an industrial monoculture deadzone.
They could not be more different.

It is getting colder, so let's revisit #hygge and put it into a #naturist and #wellbeing context - a mashup of Danish and Greek concepts
Winter is on its way
The post explores the interactions between Greek concept of aletheia and Danish idea of hygge as tools for enhancing wellbeing during winter. It emphasizes creating a cosy environment that fosters introspection, authentic connections, and a deep appreciation for sensory experiences. Integrating biophilia and naturism further enriches this sanctuary, encouraging self-acceptance and connections with nature.
