Naked! (Public Nudity and Spirituality)

This park near our home eventually filled with a throng of nude bicyclists. It reminded us of Bosch’s Garden of Earthly Delights painting. Listen through this two part show to find out if Stacie joined in on the two-wheeled protest.

Nudism in American culture, reflections on nudity in the Garden of Eden, a recent news story about a French nudist who shot someone at the beach, the history of Christian naturism, the Christian nudist sect called the Adamites, hot springs culture, & our experience with various opportunities to be naked in public, including at least Jeff’s participation in Portland’s World Naked Bike Ride.

We share what we think newbies should know about visiting clothing optional spaces and share the spiritual and emotional value of being vulnerable and overcoming body image issues.
