Water Nymphs (video)

By Home, Video

We shot this video in a public park one lovely summer morning. There was only one person hanging out by the falls when we started but we asked him if he minded the girls getting naked and of course he didn’t. We invited him to watch as long as he stayed out of the shot, for which he was happy to oblige. A few more people passed by during the course of the shoot but they all respectfully kept their distance so as not to interrupt the shooting. A wonderful time was had by all!

A Goddess Dances in the Meadow (video)

By Home, Video

A Goddess Dances in the Meadow. Dancer: Christina Johnson

In the meadow’s gentle cradle she twirls,
A goddess in the sunlit swirls.
Beneath the vast and azure dome,
Her dance, a hymn of nature’s poem.
Soft grass cradles her nimble feet,
A tapestry of green, a cushion sweet.
The sky above, a canvas blue,
Each pirouette a tale anew.
Her silhouette, a grace untold,
A symphony in green and gold.
The forest’s edge, a silent crowd,
In hushed reverence, they’re endowed.
Tall trees stand like guardians wise,
Whispering secrets ‘neath the skies.
Leaves applaud in the rustling breeze,
Nature’s ballet among the trees.
Sunlight weaves through branches high,
Casting shadows where dreams may lie.
The goddess spins, a radiant sprite,
Embracing day, kissing the night.
In this meadow, a sacred trance,
She dances, lost in nature’s dance.
A goddess in the soft grass sways,
A celebration of eternal days.

Nude Forest Bathing (7)

“Nude forest bathing” refers to the practice of immersing oneself in nature, particularly a forest environment, without the barrier of clothing. This concept combines two therapeutic approaches: forest bathing and naturism.

  1. Forest Bathing:
    • Shinrin-yoku: Originating from Japan, shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, involves immersing oneself in a forest environment to experience the healing properties of nature. This practice has been scientifically studied and is associated with various health benefits.
    • Stress Reduction: Spending time in nature has been shown to lower cortisol levels, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being.
    • Boosted Immune System: Exposure to phytoncides, natural compounds released by trees, has been linked to enhanced immune system function.
  2. Naturism:
    • Body Positivity: Naturism promotes body positivity and self-acceptance by removing societal pressures associated with clothing.
    • Connection with Nature: Being nude in a natural setting fosters a sense of connection with the environment, allowing individuals to experience nature more intimately.

Combining these practices into “nude forest bathing” suggests an integration of the therapeutic benefits of both nature immersion and embracing one’s natural state. It’s essential to note, however, that this practice may not be suitable for everyone, as cultural norms, personal comfort levels, and legal considerations vary.

Potential benefits of nude forest bathing:

  1. Enhanced Sensory Experience:
    • Touch and Feel: Being unclothed allows direct contact with the natural elements, heightening sensory experiences such as feeling the texture of the ground, the wind on the skin, or the warmth of sunlight.
  2. Increased Body Awareness:
    • Mind-Body Connection: Removing clothing may facilitate a stronger mind-body connection, promoting awareness of physical sensations and fostering a sense of embodiment.
  3. Reduced Social Barriers:
    • Authentic Connection: Without the barrier of clothing, individuals may experience a greater sense of authenticity and vulnerability, potentially fostering more profound connections with others.
  4. Mental Well-being:
    • Body Positivity: Embracing one’s natural form may contribute to improved body image and self-esteem.
    • Stress Reduction: The combined effects of nature therapy and naturism may amplify stress reduction and relaxation.

While some individuals may find this practice liberating and therapeutic, it’s crucial to approach it with mindfulness and respect for personal boundaries. Not everyone may feel comfortable or safe participating in nude activities, and it’s essential to be aware of and adhere to local laws and regulations regarding public nudity.

As with any wellness practice, individual experiences will vary, and those interested in exploring nude forest bathing should do so with consideration for their own comfort, safety, and legal and cultural contexts.

“Dancing Naked: A Sacred Connection to Nature’s Rhythm”

Introduction: Dancing naked around an open fire in the heart of a forest may seem unconventional to some, but for those who have experienced it, this ritualistic practice holds profound spiritual benefits and has transformative effects on the psyche. Rooted in ancient traditions and embraced by various cultures, this primal form of expression connects individuals to nature in a way that transcends the boundaries of modern societal norms.

1. Reconnection with Nature: Dancing naked in a forest around an open fire is an immersive experience that fosters a deep reconnection with the natural world. Stripping away the constraints of clothing allows individuals to feel the earth beneath their feet, the wind on their skin, and the flames reflecting in their eyes. This primal connection with nature can lead to a heightened sense of awareness and an appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things.

2. Liberation of the Self: The act of dancing naked carries a symbolic weight, representing the liberation of the self from societal expectations and constraints. As the flickering flames cast shadows on the naked bodies, individuals often report a sense of vulnerability turning into empowerment. Shedding layers of clothing becomes a metaphor for shedding societal expectations, allowing individuals to embrace their authentic selves without judgment.

3. Release of Inhibitions: In the midst of a forest, surrounded by the primal elements, participants often experience a release of inhibitions. The rhythmic dance around the fire becomes a form of self-expression, a way to release pent-up emotions, and a celebration of the human body in its most natural state. This uninhibited expression can lead to a sense of emotional catharsis, leaving participants feeling lighter and more connected to their true selves.

4. Connection with the Elements: Dancing around an open fire at night in a forest allows individuals to connect with the elements on a visceral level. The warmth of the fire, the cool breeze, the rustling leaves, and the ambient sounds of the forest all contribute to a multisensory experience that transcends the everyday. This elemental connection is often described as a spiritual journey, aligning participants with the cyclical rhythms of nature.

5. Spiritual Transcendence: The combination of the natural setting, the rhythmic dance, and the communal energy often leads to a sense of spiritual transcendence. Participants report feeling a oneness with the universe, a deep connection to the spiritual essence of life, and a profound sense of inner peace. The open fire serves as a focal point for meditation and reflection, fostering a spiritual experience that transcends the boundaries of organized religion.

Conclusion: Dancing naked around an open fire in a forest is a practice deeply rooted in our ancestral history, and its spiritual benefits on the psyche are as relevant today as they were in ancient times. This ritual offers a unique opportunity for individuals to reconnect with nature, liberate themselves from societal constraints, release inhibitions, connect with the elements, and experience a profound sense of spiritual transcendence. As unconventional as it may seem, this primal dance serves as a reminder that our roots are intertwined with the natural world, and by embracing our primal instincts, we can find a deeper connection to the essence of our being.


Fire Nymph

In the realm where shadows entwine with desire, There dances Lethe, a nymph of wild fire. Beneath the cloak of night, in the greenish moon’s glow, Her silhouette weaves a tale, a sensuous shadow.
Naked, she is, draped in moonlight’s embrace, A celestial ballet, a dance of grace. Around the fire’s glow, a primal ballet, Lethe whirls and sways, lost in night’s ballet.
The firelight flickers, a conspirator in sin, Casting its glow on Lethe’s silken skin. Each curve, a promise, in the night’s soft caress, A dance of longing, a tempting duress.
Wild and untamed, her movements a spell, As if she’s enchanting the very flames as well. The greenish moonlight, a voyeur in the sky, Seduces her form, as she dances, oh, so high.
In the rhythm of embers, in the crackle and hiss, Lethe twirls and tempts, in moonlight’s sweet kiss. Her hair, a cascade of shadows, in the fire’s flickering dance, A symphony of passion, a moonlit romance.
The flames, like fingers, reach out to trace, The contours of Lethe, in the night’s secret space. She surrenders to the fire, a willing devotee, Dancing on the edge of passion’s decree.
The greenish moonlight, a witness to the affair, As Lethe’s dance becomes a whispered prayer. In this nocturnal sanctuary, where desire is the choir, Lethe spins and swirls, a nymph of wild fire.
