Our Mission
Why NRE exists
NaturismRE (NRE) exists to contribute to a more informed, evidence-aware and balanced understanding of the human body, naturism, non-sexual nudity, health and wellbeing, society, and the human relationship with the natural environment.
Our mission is not to tell people how they should live or to persuade everyone to practise naturism.
It is to research, examine, explain and make knowledge freely accessible, enabling individuals, communities, organisations, researchers and institutions to make their own informed decisions.
NRE works toward a society in which the human body can be understood without automatic sexualisation or stigma, naturism and non-sexual nudity can be discussed on the basis of context and evidence, and their relationships with health, wellbeing, environment, law, culture and society can be examined openly and responsibly.
NRE provides research, educational resources, frameworks and tools. People remain free to examine them, question them, use what is relevant to them or leave them aside.
Our Objectives
Improve understanding of naturism and non-sexual nudity
Contribute to clearer public understanding by examining the distinction between non-sexual nudity and sexual, exploitative, coercive or otherwise inappropriate behaviour.
Advance research and evidence
Develop and support research, surveys, methodologies, evidence reviews and analytical frameworks while distinguishing established evidence, emerging research, NRE-generated findings, hypotheses and policy proposals.
Examine health and wellbeing
Explore potential relationships between naturism, body acceptance, environmental exposure, autonomy, social participation and wellbeing without presenting emerging or proposed relationships as established medical conclusions.
Support balanced body perception and human dignity
Examine body-related stigma, shame, social expectations and representation while developing resources that support a more informed and realistic understanding of human bodies.
Strengthen connection with the natural environment
Explore the relationship between people and natural environments, including environmental exposure, outdoor participation, restoration and the broader role of nature in human wellbeing.
Expand education and public access to knowledge
Create freely accessible guides, libraries, encyclopaedic resources, white papers, research tools and educational frameworks without requiring conventional membership or placing core knowledge behind a paywall.
Support choice, autonomy and coexistence
Recognise that people have different beliefs, boundaries and levels of comfort. Supporting the legitimacy of naturism does not require everyone to participate in it.
Promote responsible and inclusive environments
Contribute frameworks addressing dignity, consent, safeguarding, accessibility, behavioural expectations, governance and respect for different backgrounds and circumstances.
Contribute to law and public policy
Develop research, educational resources, legal clarification frameworks and policy proposals that can support informed public and institutional discussion.
Support institutional development
Explore standards, governance, research integrity, health frameworks, technology, economics and other structures relevant to the responsible long-term development of naturism.
Encourage international dialogue
Make resources available across jurisdictions and cultures while recognising that laws, social attitudes, environments and naturist practices differ substantially around the world.
Our role
NaturismRE approaches naturism as more than a recreational or social practice.
We examine it as a subject that intersects with health, psychology, environment, education, stigma, culture, law, public policy, governance, safeguarding, economics, technology and social change.
NRE does not claim ownership of naturism, does not claim to speak for every naturist and does not seek to replace existing naturist organisations.
Our role is to research, develop, publish and freely share resources that can contribute to understanding, discussion and responsible development.
Notre mission
Pourquoi NRE existe
NaturismRE (NRE) existe pour contribuer à une compréhension plus éclairée, plus équilibrée et attentive aux données probantes du corps humain, du naturisme, de la nudité non sexuelle, de la santé et du bien-être, de la société et de la relation entre l'être humain et l'environnement naturel.
Notre mission n'est pas de dire aux gens comment ils doivent vivre ni de chercher à convaincre tout le monde de pratiquer le naturisme.
Elle consiste à rechercher, étudier, expliquer et rendre les connaissances librement accessibles afin que les personnes, les communautés, les organisations, les chercheurs et les institutions puissent prendre leurs propres décisions en connaissance de cause.
NRE œuvre en faveur d'une société dans laquelle le corps humain peut être compris sans sexualisation automatique ni stigmatisation, où le naturisme et la nudité non sexuelle peuvent être abordés en tenant compte du contexte et des données disponibles, et où leurs relations avec la santé, le bien-être, l'environnement, le droit, la culture et la société peuvent être étudiées ouvertement et de manière responsable.
NRE met à disposition des recherches, des ressources éducatives, des cadres et des outils. Chacun reste libre de les examiner, de les questionner, d'utiliser ce qui lui est utile ou de choisir de ne pas les utiliser.
Nos objectifs
Améliorer la compréhension du naturisme et de la nudité non sexuelle
Contribuer à une compréhension plus claire en distinguant la nudité non sexuelle des comportements sexuels, coercitifs, abusifs, exploitants ou autrement inappropriés.
Faire progresser la recherche et les connaissances
Développer et soutenir des recherches, des enquêtes, des méthodologies, des analyses de données probantes et des cadres analytiques, tout en distinguant les connaissances établies, les recherches émergentes, les résultats produits par NRE, les hypothèses et les propositions de politiques publiques.
NaturismRE is built by a small, dedicated team spending countless hours researching, writing, and advocating for evidence-based health, dignity, and resilience.
If you would like to support that work, you can buy us a cup of coffee.
