1. Introduction

Simplicity is at the heart of nudism. Removing unnecessary layers of clothing reduces physical, emotional, and mental clutter. Nudism invites a return to simplicity in how we live, move, rest, and connect with ourselves and others. By choosing nudity when appropriate, people rediscover ease, authenticity, and a lifestyle free from the complications of appearance pressure and consumer expectations.

NaturismRE affirms that nudism supports a simpler, healthier, and more grounded way of life.
