Foreword:
Experiencing nature more intensely

Dear readers,
There’s one phrase that always seems to come up whenever I discuss naturism: “I don’t need to see everything!”
This statement always elicits nods of agreement, but naturism is about the connection and harmony between one’s own body and the environment – ideally, in nature. It is not about seeing or, indeed, showing.
The skin is our largest sensory organ and absorbs many stimuli – provided clothing does not prevent it. Naturists experience nature more intensely, learning in the process to accept their own bodies – and thus themselves – just as they are. And they are accepted by others in exactly the same way. That is one of the core messages.
This booklet shows where naturism can be experienced, what rules apply and what positive effects it has. It is intended as an invitation to explore naturism and perhaps try it out for yourself. Naturism is like a new dish: until I’ve tried it, I don’t know if I’ll like it.

I hope you – among naturists, it’s customary to use ‘you’ –
enjoy reading and discovering!
Stefan Buhren

After a 14-day break, during which I was largely offline, I’m back in the digital world.
I spent a week of that time on Helgoland https://www.helgoland.de/en, a small, windswept island some 30 kilometres off the German North Sea coast, which never fails to impress with its unique atmosphere. The reason for my visit was the annual, now almost legendary three-day punk rock festival “Rock’n’Roll Butterfahrt” https://www.rocknrollbutterfahrt.de, which transforms the island into a unique, energetic world of its own for a few days.
I deliberately used these two weeks as a sort of “digital detox”. Instead of screens and endless scrolling, the focus was on real encounters, conversations, music and simply switching off. I used the days to find some peace, spend time with friends, go with the flow and simply enjoy the moment – without constant availability or an information overload.
This deliberate break did me good and showed me once again just how valuable such time-outs are.

Unfortunately, my daily life won’t be able to continue at quite such a leisurely pace for the time being, so I’ll be rather busier again in the coming weeks. This makes me all the more sorry that I can’t currently say when I’ll be able to start sharing content about naturism on social media on a regular basis again.
I really hope to find more time for it soon – I’m already missing it a little.
