FAMILY MEETING AT ROSENFELDER-STRAND END OF JULY 2011

Photo: Roger Viola

Twelve countries were represented during this event, a real success for the organizers. Participants came from The Netherlands, Finland, India, Indonesia, Sweden, France, Belgium and Poland, from the Dominican Republic, but also from Australia and Turkistan and o fcourse from Germany. Many of then didn’t come especially for participating, but they soon got familiar with the games and joined us during these 10 days. A total of 498 people were present, 62 children or youngsters thereof. 71 people were on a stand by list and were waiting for a positive sign from the management to join our group, but that was impossible due a fully booked campsite. All activities had a great success but the main event was the nude running or walking, where I had the great honor to act as sponsor. 92 adults and 28 youngsters participated to this nude run or nude walking with a distance of 5 or 10 Km, depending on their individual choice. During this activity, 315€ were collected and forwarded to the DLRG (German-Life-Saving-Society). This society supervises the beaches during the whole main season at the Baltic Sea and elsewhere.Their delegates told use that this amount will be used to acquire a backpack with oxygen bottles for various applications. Thanks to Franz and his crew for organizing this competition. That was not very easy and thanks to Klaus and his 165 volunteers, who alternately prepared our evening meals and handled the drink shop. Thanks to Jeannine and her girlfriends for baking more than 400 waffles every evening. Thanks to Günther for supervising all the games and to Elke and Edgar for leaving this wonderful campsite at our disposal. Thanks to all participants who have contributed to the success of this event. Some of them already booked in advance for the next year. I felt free to ask a participant to give us his impressions about his 2nd participation in written form. You will find his report in the next issue of the FOCUS magazine.

NEW DIGITAL BOOK ON SKINNY DIPPING

A popular collection of stories about skinny dipping has been published as an eBook, available through Kindle, Sony, and other producers of hand-held digital readers.

New England author R. E. Smith has collected the best writing depicting sensual and playful nudity outdoors, with hyperlinks taking readers to illustrations by great artists and photographers depicting similar scenes.

This electronic book includes frank images and great writing from Edmund White, John Fowles (England’s great aficionado of nudity outdoors), Scott Turow, Walt Whitman (America’s poet laureate of skinny-dipping), Mark Twain, Alan Hollinghurst, Erich Segal, Iris Murdoch, E.M. Forster, Lawrence Durrell, William Styron, George Orwell, Edmund White, Vladimir Nabokov, and many more. Even Harpo Marx, Shirley MacLaine, and Dolly Parton! Each of them has depicted outdoors nudity in delicious, erotic, and sensual language. The collection includes exciting pop lyrics by Jerry Jeff Walker, John Cougar Mellencamp, George Michael, MLTR, David Byrne, Jennifer Love Hewitt and R.E.M. – all of them in praise of running naked!

The art is by Andrew Wyeth, Robert Mapplethorpe, Eric Fischl, Rockwell Kent, John Singer Sargent, Bruce Weber, Thomas Eakins (whose “Swimming Picture” is America’s best known depiction of clothes-free swimming), Pablo Picasso, Grant Wood, Paul Gauguin, Henry Scott Tuke, Paul Cezanne, and many more.

The new eBook, entitled Erotic Tales of Skinny Dipping – In Art and Literature, is available for less than ten dollars through www.kindle.com or www.smashwords.com.

“Hardly a great writer in the English language has not depicted skinny dipping and hardly a great artist has not been intrigued by it – like many of us,” said Smith.

The chapters include “The Old Swimming Hole,” “Fathers and Sons,” “At the Nude Beach,” “Authors and Artists on Their Work,” “Nature Boy,” “A Spiritual Experience,” “Solitude,” and “Love and Sex Outdoors.”

And there is a chapter with writings from authors who don’t think skinny-dipping is much fun at all and another chapter collecting wise words from writers who think that clothes are a damn shame and that we can do without them. 

The eBook is available from www.kindle.com, www.smashwords.com, Sony digital reader, and other sources online. 

The collection was originally published as Naked in Nature: Great Skinny-Dipping Moments in Art and Literature. It is still available in a compact disc ($13.50) and in hard copy ($42.50), from orders@nakedinnature.net or Naked in Nature, PO Box 28577, Providence RI 02908, fax 401/274-4747.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

Britain’s vast spiritual heritage will enchant anyone with a sense of the sacred. Celtic healing pools, ancient shrines,  exotic saints, spectacular artworks, soaring cathedrals, mystical islands and humble rustic churches bring 2,000 years of belief vividly to life.

The result of a five-year journey from Orkney to the Channel Islands, Britain’s Holiest Places rediscovers this remarkable landscape, shaped by centuries of faith, ritual and some truly extraordinary people. Most remarkable of all, every site listed is still in active use, including many unforgettable highlights:

• A Celtic bathing pool still used daily after 1,300 years (p418)
• Christian paintings as old as the art in Rome’s Catacombs (p45)
• The black African whoe helped found the early English church (p36)
• A mystery tree in a Welsh churchyard that bleeds red sap (p445)
• The room where Baptists held their first meetings (p283)
• A saintly nun who prayed naked in a river every day (p22)
• The first nature reserve in history, on the Farne Islands (p365)
• The original Quaker meeting house (p14)
• A Roman-era mosaic of Christ (p214)
• The world’s oldest wooden church – just off the M25 (p119)

Written with a keen eye for the surreal as well as the sacred, this book is a complete guide for modern visitors, but also an entertaining travelogue of some truly breath-taking experiences.
