Just a quick introduction. I have visited Findhorn, Scotland once, I have the 'new we' dvd and I am very interested in sustainable living. That's all the experience I have. I grew up on a farm, so…Continue

Naturist Ecovillage
I have chosen an image of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. In a way it is what many of us want to return too. Living in Harmony with nature and each other - Purity, Freedom, Being yourself. For a naturist this includes being able to be naked without shame or judgement but total respect. There are already many villages like this around the world. Usually very touristy, maybe eco-friendly, but not sustainable or self efficient. My dream is to find or build a place (community/village) like this…See More

Stefan Wolf commented on Eddy Modde's group Naturist Ecovillage"I have been in Ecuador and tried to be naked for a few hours... the blood-sucking insects seemed to be happy that they could reach my skin so easy, but I was not... so the location for living such a lifestyle needs to consider this as well. I guess…"

Vana Kuo commented on Eddy Modde's group Naturist Ecovillage"Naturist idea is very beautiful. It's where everybody comes from, pure, naked, authentic. Such a place should exist for everyone to return to. Thanks for creating the group! much love**"

We recommend the 'Interdependent Project' as a good web portal. We will be posting a great deal of resources, books, and websites as we evolve this network over the coming weeks!

I have been interested in the subject for years. I visited Findhorn for retreat and now I have decided to go for it. What books, websites, courses, places, communities would you recommend to learn all about sustainable living? Since I'm not in a position yet to travel a lot, I want to start with books/websites/courses. I live on a farm (which is for sale) and I am already making little changes here and there to save water, waste and electricity. I want to learn more. As soon as the farm is…See More

Naturisme and sustainable living
There are many naturist villages, but none are ecological/sustainable.
There are more and more sustainable communities, but as far as I know none of them allow naturisme.
I would like to live and work in a sustainable community in the south of Europe. As far as I know there is one place like this in the Dominican Republic called Cambium www.cambiumbene.com.
There is also something similar in Brazil. Here is a nice friendly video of Colina del Sol
But I would like to stay in Europe.
Being naked and not be ashamed of it or judge about it, gives a great sense of freedom. Besides the fact that the warm sun and wind on your skin feels great, it's purity, serenity, peaceful, feels in harmony with nature. It is the ultimate acceptance of ourselves and others. Respect for each other and nature is first priority. This is why I feel like it naturally fits in with eco/sustainable living. Of course everybody in the community would have be a naturist or be very open minded to it.
At the moment we are trying to sell our horse farm in the Netherlands (www.horsemansretreat.nl). We've had a natural horse business for 10 years. I could still do this as a means of income, but would prefer to work on a sustainable community. My other passion is spirituality and I love to play guitar, sing, dance and cook.

Welcome Eddy! Very nice to hear that you're on your journey to find/create a community! I'm pretty sure where you're going to would have people who're interested in Naturism as well! Best luck! :)
