Meditation in the nude, among Nature
Imagine yourself stripped of the layers that society has imposed upon you, standing in the embrace of nature, feeling the earth beneath your bare feet and the breeze against your skin. With each breath, you dissolve into the landscape around you, becoming one with the rhythmic hum of life, free from every restraint.
Nude meditation in nature is more than an act of peace; it is a return to our true selves. Without the barrier of clothing, we are in direct communion with the elements, each sensation amplified, each connection deeper. Here, beneath an open sky, there are no distractionsonly the vastness of the world that welcomes us as we are, unadorned, pure, and fully alive.
Naturism's resurgence is about this return. Its an invitation to reconnect with nature as it was meant to bea place of freedom, acceptance, and reverence. This isnt just an ideal; its a movement that aligns with the philosophy of Naturis Sancta, which calls us to honour nature as supreme, a force that provides all life with balance and harmony. In revering nature through meditation, we honour a shared essence, one that transcends the material and opens us to profound peace.
Meditating nude among nature is a powerful form of reverence. Its where we find not only solitude but solidarity with all that lives, where we shed our fears, our pretences, and the trappings of a world that often forgets its roots. Naturis Sancta recognises this space as sacreda place where nature, humankind, and spirit converge, a reminder of our interconnectedness and the simplicity of true peace.
So come as you are, bare and open, to the forest, the mountains, the rivers. Experience the resurgence of naturism not as an idea but as a way of being, an offering to nature, and a path back to yourself. In that moment, you are freeand you belong.

@Stretchmarks, Thank you for your kind words. I understand it is not always possible for all to find the time or place to undress and meditate among Nature ,yet I can only re-iterate the profound sense of connection and grounding that being undressed in nature can bring. It is a way to fully embrace ones surroundings, stripping away the barriers that often separate us from the natural world. For those who cannot find the time or place, even small gestureslike removing shoes and socks and standing on the earthcan be a meaningful way to reconnect, feeling the energy and stillness that nature offers. This simple act can remind us of our roots and the harmony we seek with the world around us.if you cannot immerse yourself with nature, you can still meditate nude in the safety of your house...open the windows, let the breeze come in (if public nudity is not legal in your country, make sure you are not visible from the outside).
I quite agree.
As a Christian who is moving into an increasingly contemplative style of worship, it has been my routine for some months now to start the day with a time of nude meditation and prayer. But whenever possible, I like to take that practice outdoors into my garden, or better still the hills and woods around where I live. I definitely feel this brings me much closer to the natural world, and opens up a different level of spiritual connection with the divine.
@homeclothesfree -Thank you for your questions. I've been practicing meditation for several years now, gradually incorporating it into my daily routine as a way to cultivate mindfulness and inner peace. My journey into nude meditation began as a natural extension of my love for nature and my belief in naturism.
Initially, I was drawn to the idea of being completely free from clothing, as it allows for a deeper connection with the elements around me. Stripping away the layers of fabric is symbolic for meit represents shedding societal expectations and embracing authenticity. When I meditate nude, I feel a profound sense of liberation and intimacy with the natural world, enhancing my meditation experience.
In this space, without barriers, I can truly immerse myself in the sights, sounds, and sensations of nature, feeling grounded and alive. Its a way to honour both my body and the environment, reinforcing my belief in the interconnectedness of all living things.
I encourage everyone to explore what feels right for themwhether its meditating nude outdoors, in a private space, or even just removing shoes and socks to feel the earth beneath you. Each small step can deepen your connection to nature and enhance your meditative practice.
Stay nude, stay safe, be happy!

Thank you for sharing your experience, @Homo_Nudus. Its inspiring to hear how you integrate nude meditation and prayer into your contemplative worship. The connection you describe with nature and the divine resonates deeply with the philosophy of Naturis Sancta, where we honour not only our own bodies but also the sacredness of the natural world around us.
Meditating outdoors in the beauty of your garden or the hills and woods sounds like a wonderful way to foster that connection. Nature truly has a way of amplifying our spiritual practices, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all life. Its a beautiful testament to how nudity can serve as a bridge to deeper spiritual awareness and appreciation for the world we inhabit.
May your journey in contemplation and connection continue to flourish!
Stay nude, stay safe, be happy!

Thank you.
I am very interested in the philosophy you mention here, and will take the time to look at your websites when I have time to do so properly!
I am very influenced in the Forest Church movement within Christianity, and belong to an informal network of people locally who are keen to develop a connection with nature as part of our worship, both individually and corporately. I have raised the question as to whether others feel that nudity can add another dimension to the experience, but sadly this seemed to be a step too far for most. However, I also coordinate a small online group called 'Naked Church' where people can share their experiences of the connection between nudity and prayer/worship - and we hope to organise a small retreat-style event next Summer (in the UK) where we can immerse ourselves in nature and enjoy a variety of workshops and worship experiences together without the barrier of clothes.
Thank you.

@Homo_Nudus, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful and inspiring reflection. The Forest Church movement sounds like a beautiful way to connect with nature in a spiritual context, and your vision of integrating nudity into that connection aligns deeply with the philosophy of Naturis Sancta. Its uplifting to hear of communities exploring nature as a part of worship, allowing people to experience the divine through the world around them.
The idea of 'Naked Church' and the potential retreat next summer sound like fantastic initiatives to foster a genuine connection with nature and spirituality. Nudity, in this setting, can indeed serve as a powerful means of shedding societal layers and embracing a purer form of communion, both with oneself and the natural environment. Such an experience can be incredibly profound, providing a sanctuary for honest expression and shared peace.
I hope your retreat inspires participants to find a new level of presence and interconnectedness with nature and their spirituality. Please feel free to reach out if youd like to share more about the retreat, as we would love to support such initiatives aligning with the values of Naturis Sancta.
Stay nude, stay grounded, and may your journey be enriching.
Warm regards,

The reason I ask is because nude meditation is not a new thing in naturism, though it may be for many whose only exposure to nudism is what you find online. The gymnosphists (wise sages who taught Alexander a ascetic naturism) of India from whom the early naturist took the name of their fledgling movement in Europe had nude meditation at the center of their spiritual practice. As do the Jainists and Digambara of that region of the world.
Marc Alain Descamps widely acknowledged naturism's greatest philosopher was a practitioner of nude meditation as part of a robust yoga practice. See video below

All that to say when westerners particular North Americans talk about nude meditation we often sound as if we found something that did not exist previously. Its like we think we have to reinvent the wheel, to make it relevant when the relevance comes from the deep philosophy that has existed outside of western thought for centuries. The benefits of meditation and nude meditation is rooted in a deep ascetic practice from outside western world that in some respects predates western thinking.
Another observation is that we westerners because of the disconnect with the roots of a meditation practice, tend to focus on the individual interaction with the external world. An exploration of the roots of meditation practice suggests the practice is focused instead on being in the present moment. It is about going inward and letting go of the external to just be present. As you continue you journey I encourage you to explore more about the powerful practice that you have enjoyed.Initially, I was drawn to the idea of being completely free from clothing, as it allows for a deeper connection with the elements around me.
