It’s all of the above for me. To get back to my core being and become part of the nature and not just as observer of it. Yes we all need to start connecting not just on line but in person. Being part of all. After all we are all family and one in spirit the same.
I chose other - and while "Nakey time" is key to the experience, the base of it for me is to be on a trail at one with the environment. Hate to sound like a cliche, but if I boil it down, nude outside and in nature is what makes my core happy.
Even in retirement the to dos of every day are driven by screen time. I used to walk the dog to get fresh air and exercise, however now I can work in the garden naked (when weather allows) and that is even better.
How about a back to civilization moment? Being One with Everything may have its appeal, but that's been the sales pitch for the past fifty odd years and we are where we are. What social nudity requires is social trust, and that's what has been eroded most in the past few decades. Restoring social trust may require less of a grand vision and more just reintroducing people to the idea that things can be pleasant. And that pleasant is, more than often, enough. Pleasant doesn't need to be instagrammed or vetted for ideological purity, pleasant can simply be getting along with people, having a conversation, and a warm spring or a cool lake can be great aid to that. We may find we don't need to go all the way to the wilderness if there's a perfectly serviceable garden right there.
For me.. none of these quite fit, and some miss, but the ones that come close I would instead describe as, "Setting asside all the bs I have to deal with when out in the 'real world', including clothes, then spending as little time as possible thinking about those things." The problem with, "back to nature", other than it can mean, "back to our own natire", I suppose, is that for most people, and that includes even those who just can't plausibly afford it right now, getting "too" nature, especially sone place they can also be nude, is just not feasible. Its why the largest growing segment seems to be, "people at home", who are utterly disconnected from the traditional naturist/nudist experience. The question should not be, "How does it go back to what traditionalists think it should still be?", which is kind of inherent in the wording of the question, but rather, "How does it connect to all those trying it, but adrift in their homes, with no feasible way to participate in the traditional form of it?"
