“We insult ourselves by calling our bodies obscene, pornographic, lewd, base, dirty, immoral, or evil, and in so doing deny the basic truth of our own existence. Our anatomy is us— and it is none of those terrible things.”

AANR West Club Highlights
Laguna del Sol
Laguna del Sol is one of the premier clothing-optional resorts in the United States. Located on 250 acres near Sacramento, it’s close to the city and yet a world away.
Everyone’s idea of the perfect, relaxing getaway is different. Laguna del Sol aims to provide a full range of active and leisure activities to be enjoyed with the luxury of not having to dress.
Deluxe, modern facilities blend smoothly into the lush, green lawns that cover much of the grounds.
Nudity feels incredibly natural in this beautiful environment. https://www.lagunadelsol.com
RoadRunner Naturists Club
Roadrunner Naturists is an active group of nudists based in northern New Mexico, with most events held in the Albuquerque area. The average age of our members is 40's to 60's, but ages range from diapers to wrinkles. Some of us are single and some are married. Some have school-age children, who accompany us on our outings, and some of our children are grown but still come along when they can. We are bound together by friendship, a love of the outdoors, and a common belief that there is nothing shameful about the human body. Our custom is nude when possible and appropriate, clothed when practical. If we are cold or sunburned, we dress accordingly. http://roadrunnernaturists.com

Short Story
Wilderness Liberation
In the heart of a sprawling forest, untouched by the hands of industrialism, lies a secret glade. It was here, beneath the shadow of ancient trees and the symphony of nature, that Elizabeth discovered a world far removed from the one she had always known. A high-powered executive from the city, she had grown weary of the endless rat race, the suffocating concrete jungles, and the relentless pressure of societal expectations. Seeking solace and perhaps a glimpse of something pure, she ventured into the wilderness.
The deeper she trekked into the forest, the lighter she felt — as though each step away from civilization peeled away the layers of artifice and strain that had clung to her over the years. When she stumbled upon a hidden glade, illuminated by shafts of sunlight that pierced the canopy above, Elizabeth knew she had found her sanctuary.
In an act of rebellion against the confines of her previous existence, she shed her clothes, allowing the soft breeze and the warmth of the sun to envelop her skin. It was a moment of profound vulnerability and strength, standing there in the embrace of nature, her truest self laid bare. For the first time in years, Elizabeth felt a deep and resonant peace.
As days melted into each other, the once firm lines between Elizabeth and the wilderness blurred. Her skin kissed by the sun, her feet toughened by the earth beneath them, she moved with a grace and certainty she had never known. She learned the language of the birds, the whispers of the trees, and the rhythms of the stream. She danced under the moonlight, bathed in the purity of hidden lakes, and slept beneath a blanket of stars. The forest became her clothing, her protection, her liberation.
But perhaps the most profound change occurred within Elizabeth's heart. She realized that true freedom wasn't just the absence of constraints but the presence of connections - deep, unbreakable bonds with the world around her. She no longer viewed nature as something separate, an 'other' to be visited or observed from a distance. She was a part of it, intrinsically woven into the fabric of life itself.
One morning, as the dawn chorus erupted and the first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of gold and pink, Elizabeth knew it was time to return. She felt a call to share the profound truths she had discovered, to bring a piece of the wilderness back to the concrete jungle.
Returning to civilization, Elizabeth was transformed. Her office no longer felt like a prison but a platform. She advocated for sustainability, encouraged her clients and colleagues to reconnect with nature, and dedicated her resources to preserving the wild spaces of the world.
The wilderness had liberated her, not by allowing her to escape from the world, but by empowering her to change it. She knew she would carry the forest in her heart always, a reminder of the freedom that comes when we dare to strip away the superfluous, connect deeply with the earth, and, in doing so, discover our truest selves.

The Many Names We Take Pride In
Our organization has undergone significant changes over the past few decades, with a focus on providing more detailed and comprehensive descriptions of the locations where we practice and enjoy our nudist lifestyle. While terms such as "nudist colony" or "nudist camp" may have been accurate in the past, we now prefer the use of terms such as "nudist clubs," "parks," or "resorts," which better reflect the diverse and welcoming nature of our community. Additionally, we have adopted new terminology to describe ourselves, including naturists, nudists, or members of clothing-optional organizations, highlighting the positive and respectful aspects of our lifestyle.
We believe that our lifestyle is grounded in basic human rights, such as the freedom to express oneself and the freedom to be comfortable in one's own skin. Our organization is committed to ensuring that these rights are protected and respected, and we work tirelessly to promote acceptance and understanding of our way of life. In addition to advocating for top freedom, social nudism, and family nudity, we also support a range of initiatives aimed at promoting body positivity and inclusivity, including educational programs, community events, and outreach activities. By working together, we can build a more open and accepting society that values diversity and celebrates the beauty of the human form.
