Recognizing our heroes from both Canada and the United

States is important to all of us so AANR created the Thanks For The Freedom program to give back to our veterans and military personnel.  

 

The Naturist Society and The B.E.A.C.H.E.S Foundation have agreed to lend their support to this exciting program, which begins July 1 and continues through Nude Recreation Week and the entire month of July. 

 

A list of participating locations that are hosting events for veterans and active and inactive duty military personnel will be posted soon to AANR.com.  

 

Visit our new Veterans & Nudism module in the World of Nude Recreation area on AANR.com and tell your story about how nudism has made a difference in your life. Then check back and read others' stories. Join the AANR community!  

 

In his latest column, Dr. Sam discusses "Naturism and PTSD." Read the intro below:

Can a naturist lifestyle help alleviate the symptoms of PTSD?   I think it can help on a few levels, and I hope by writing this article I can help share some insight about the "why" and "how" parts.

Over 40,000 runners took to the streets last Sunday for the iconic San Francisco footrace, Bay to Breakers. The event is famous for the mingling of committed racers with revelers in a party-like atmosphere. While elite runners take the race seriously with its more than $70,000 in prize money, the event also has long been known for its colorful costumes, nude runners, drinking, and irreverent environment.

Work has begun to establish a clothing-optional section to the south of the dune crossover at Blind Creek Beach (South) on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce, FL, located in St. Lucie County along Florida's Treasure Coast.  

 

Although casual nude use has a long history at this remote, primitive and pristine, county-owned beach, it is not formally recognized and its status is not currently secure.  Securing a section of Blind Creek Beach for clothing-optional use would be a boon for naturists living in or visiting this region.

 

The first social get-together (clothed) of the Friends of Blind Creek Beach will be held at Blind Creek Beach (South) on Hutchinson Island in Fort Pierce, FL on Sunday, June 8 at noon.
