Typically the words ‘go natural’ bring thoughts
of not colouring or straightening hair to mind. But to many people those same
words mean an opportunity to experience the stress relieving freedom that nude
recreation brings.
New Zealand Naturist Federation announces “gonatural Week” will be held nationwide from
20th ~ 28th October. This annual week begins on Labour Weekend,
which generally signals to New Zealanders the beginning of the warmer weather.
Naturism is by definition "a way of life in harmony with
nature, expressed through social nudity, linked to self-respect and tolerance
of differing views together with respect for the environment”. Naturism is a holistic
approach to healthy living that leads to an improvement in both physical and
mental health, stemming from a person feeling better about themselves and their
body.
But don’t just take our word for it.
Naturist clubs throughout the country will be
celebrating their healthy lifestyle by holding various events during the week. Some
clubs are holding open days inviting individuals, couples and families to visit
and discover the many benefits of
naturism for good health and well being - but there is no obligation to get
undressed.
We hope that you can accept our
invitation to visit one of these venues and have the opportunity to meet some
members and to better understand what naturism is all about. And once you have, you will wonder why
you didn’t ‘gonatural ‘ years ago.
