Morley changed the lives of so many. Since 2007 Morley and I hung out when I was at his Mid-Winter Festival, camping in the orchard or jungle gardens. He would tell me all about being an anti war activist in his hometown, which was the home of Woodstock. Yes, that Woodstock. And he was among the 400,000 revelers who became family there. He said it changed him forever. I was in awe.
But one of Morley’s gifts was his desire to listen to those he met. He would sit and listen to my military war stories from Vietnam and Korea and all around the globe and we talked about my anguish over how wars always hurt our planet and humanity. We shared the dream of Peace from opposite ends of the life spectrum.
Morley had a passion for life and specifically for inclusivity. He brought people from every stripe together at his camping festivals in his tropical retreat.
Naturism was alive and well under Morley’s baton at Sunsport Gardens because he didn’t run it as a business, IMHO. It was his passion project. He made enough money to keep it alive, but not so much that profiteers were attracted to it.
Morley didn’t make business decisions. He made decisions based on the well being of his flock and Mother Earth.
Some visitors who were used to more upscale surroundings didn’t understand that and Morley didn’t care. He just wanted to be the example for responsible living. This in turn attracted passionate Naturists from around the world.
This passion was on full display when Morley decided that no alcohol would be served at Sunsport. Having a bar would negatively impact the positive human interactions that he wanted to preserve there, in his opinion. He also banned tobacco use in all of the common areas so that everyone could be One With Nature while breathing clean air. This was a major attraction for Naturists pursuing healthy living.
Morley Schloss with a living example of being One With Nature. He will be sorely missed by all who whose hearts he touched and all whose lives were better for it.
