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.

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. 🪐

“Page 90: Chekov's Candy Necklace”

By
Reinder Dijkhuis

Panel 1. Terry: Councillor Schuymer, is it true that you are using your daughter and her friends to wage a campaign to make the whole island clothing-optional? Gertrude: WHAT? NO! George: I'd be up for that! Caroline: Yeah! Panel 2. Terry: Can you comment on speculation that you're doing this as a form of climate protest? Gertrude: I'm not doing ANYTHING! Ask my daughter! Panel 3. Terry: Caroline, why have you been walking the streets of the village naked? Caroline: Oh! Er, er… Panel 4. Caroline on a TV screen, with the heads of two viewers in front of it. Caroline: Because I'm a little brat? I don't know… I try not to overthink things, you know… Panel 5. Caroline, still on TV, chewing on her candy necklace. Caroline: ~Nghngh~ — Click for fullscreen
