The centerpiece of the 2017 Belgrade international theatre festival was a 24-hour performance of Jan Fabre’s majestic, exhausting and exhilarating Mount Olympus: To Glorify the Cult of Tragedy. A hallucinatory vision of Homeric themes and characters, it presented a Dionysian orgy of madness, murder, incest, feminism, music (rave and arias) and extreme sports (skipping, dancing, fighting, loving).
Being naked is natural. There’s nothing more natural than just being who you are without any artificial cover. Posing nude for art students is one of the most natural and normal artistic activities. The human body is one of the most beautiful creations. There are numerous wonderful nude paintings. However, to learn how to paint human bodies, artists need models. A lot of art schools are asking for...
We all love pictures and keeping memories of our past good times and holidays. However, when it comes to nakation, the question of sharability of our pictures can be asked. Let’s think for a moment. Most of us, if not all, would hang our best family pictures on the wall. We would as well hang beautiful art pictures or paintings, some depicting nude bodies, like the picture on the left. The questio...
Some naturist clubs and federations around the planet organize nude events at a local swimming pool. The Paris Naturist Association, for instance, have made possible to swim naked three evenings every week in a public swimming pool in Paris and to workout naked five times a week. In Utah, Wasatch Naturists hosts a monthly nude swim in Ogden the third Sunday of the month (with some exceptions). The...
We all need to do some chores at one point. Typically, it’s a time to get wet and dirty, so the ideal clothes for this are no clothes! As simple as this, and so much more comfortable. Washing the dishes, mopping the floor or dusting your library seems much more fun when done naked. I really never understood why, and I doubt there is any scientific study about this, but it’s a personal fact. House ...
You have available space in your house or apartment. You are a nudist. Why not creating a nudist friendly AirBnB or the gay-friendly Mister BnB, space, make some extra money and meet new people? Sure, renting a room or a part of your home requires some preparation and effort. Particularly making people feeling at home is a great part of the experience. However, this is what users of AirBnB are loo...
We all lived in a clothed world, even for those of us who chose to live in nudist communities. We all have to get clothed to go to work, run errands, or visit non-nudist friends or family. However, we can make our home a nudist haven, where we can be as naked as we want. Here’s a little ritual you can follow. As soon as you close the front door behind you, kick your shoes off, put some cool music ...
Special submission For many nudists, nudism is either a lonely activity or a hidden one. A lot of nudists go to the nude beach or to nudist resorts, without telling their friends or their family. They refrain taking pictures of themselves to avoid disclosing their sheer joy of being naked socially. While I believe it’s truly important to be accepted as who you really are, I understand the fear of ...
Special submission As we progress through life we meet other naturists and, of course, non-naturists. I do not know about you, but I have been sharing openly with more and more people that I am a naturist and I am spending a lot of time nude. I am intentional about this because I want people to feel fine and let them know that, if they come to my home without warning or if they are invited to spen...
Yesterday was ham, today it's vodka. I think lunch is shaping up.

On the 27th Naturist Advent Day, we suggest: World Naked Gardening Day is one of those days when nudity and nature are celebrated. You will find more information on the wngd.org website. It’s happening every year on the first Saturday of May, and this year on May 5, 2018. Why garden naked? I will quote the WNGD website: First of all, it’s fun! Second only to swimming, gardening is at the top of th...
