Random thoughts on naturism and our right to be ourselves. Hopefully these posts will contribute a little to normalising nudity everywhere. Stay free, Liam Beattie. 🍻
Robert Brown: To change people's opinion and improve the perception of naturism, we need to have more events like this so it becomes the norm and acceptable.

Daniel Johnson: Clothing should be optional in public, the same way that wearing a hat or sunglasses is optional. The human body is not inherently obscene.

Richard Opperman: Naturism is becoming more and more popular across the world. Way more people do it than you’d think, but some are a little shy about admitting that. To anybody sceptical, I’d say just try it out before you make your mind up.

Josie Alford: One thing you learn at any naturism event is there are all sorts of bodies and everyone is comfortable. If they can be comfortable with their bodies, then you can be comfortable with yours too.

Marisa Collins: Locker rooms once normalised the human body effortlessly, without fanfare. Expanding that acceptance to public realms would heal our collective shame, proving nudity's innocence and power to build quiet confidence.

Felicity Jones: There’s nothing crude about the human body. What’s crude is the way society has taught us to be ashamed of it.

Bonnie Brown: Clothes are the first lie we tell the world. Ditch them in a non-judgemental space, and suddenly you're not hiding anymore. You're simply, gloriously present, as nature wired you to be.

Andrew Welch: Social nudity strips away the superficial layers we use to separate ourselves from one another. What’s left is pure human connection - open, honest and remarkably kind.

Carolyn Hawkins: I’m far more confident naked than clothed. Clothes let you hide. Nudity demands that you own who you are, and once you do, the confidence stays with you even when you dress again.

Paul Rapoport: Naturism gives you permission to be exactly who you are without apology. The moment the clothes come off, the pretending stops and you meet the real you. And everyone else sees the real you too.

Nicky Hoffman: The path to body acceptance is quickly accomplished - and is fun. Since nudity is our natural state, so is body acceptance our natural state.

Anonymous: Many people, especially ignorant people, want to punish you for speaking the truth, for being correct, for being you. Never apologise for being correct, or for being years ahead of your time. If you’re right and you know it, speak your mind.

Mary Jane Saunders: Shame about our bodies is a taught behaviour, not an inherent truth. Naturism teaches us to unlearn it through the simple act of being ourselves, uncovered.

Patti Smith:
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union,
We can turn the world around,
We can turn the earth's revolution.
We have the power,
People have the power.

Can come to pass through our union,
We can turn the world around,
We can turn the earth's revolution.
We have the power,
People have the power.
