Naturist action: A call for leaders in the movement
The Naturist Action Committee (NAC) and the Naturist Education Foundation (NEF) are calling for new board members to help shape the future of naturist advocacy in North America. As these organizations work to protect body freedom and promote naturism, they seek leaders who are passionate about expanding naturist spaces, advocating for fair legislation, and educating the public on the positive impact of body acceptance. This is a unique opportunity to join a legacy of activism, defend naturist rights, and contribute to a growing movement. Applications are open until October 15, 2024.
Leadership dispute clouds Mexican Nudist Federation ahead of INF Congress
Internal conflicts have arisen within the Mexican Nudist Federation (FNM) just weeks before Mexico is set to host the International Naturist Federation’s (INF) World Congress. A leadership dispute, involving FNM President Gustavo de la Garza and Secretary Luis Márquez, has sparked calls for reform and transparency. Allegations of governance violations and extended terms have divided the federation. As the global naturist community prepares to gather in Zipolite, this report delves into the tension and highlights efforts to resolve the conflict ahead of the international event.

Africa: The continuing tradition
In this fascinating exploration of Africa’s deep-rooted tradition of body freedom, Paul LeValley takes us on a journey through the continent’s history, art, and the enduring cultural practices that celebrate the naked human form. From the artistry of Benin to the body painting of the Nuba people, this article uncovers how nudity remains a symbol of freedom and pride for many Africans, despite the pressures of modern society and colonial influences.

Women in Focus with Karie Jane
In this episode of Women in Focus, I sit down with Karie Jane, a businesswoman and the proprietor of the Beverley Hills Hotel and Resort in Costa Calma, Fuerteventura. After her marriage ended, Karie took over the villa and transformed it into a clothing-optional hotel, where she now lives and works full-time. She shares her journey of creating a unique naturist holiday destination and talks about the ladies-only holidays she runs, supported by British Naturism. These holidays cater to both seasoned naturist women seeking something different and women who want a safe, relaxing way to experience naturism for the first time. 🪐
