  • Women In Focus Podcast

    Bravo! I am so pleased to see this podcast happen and I’ll do all I can to help promote it. It’s long overdue. All of my naturist life — about 45 years now — I have said that if the naturist/nudist movements ever expects to have family naturism accepted by Western Society, just allow women to be its spokespersons. I refer to it as women gives it the “Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.” (Now I’m really showing my age.)

    Thank you! - Shirley Mason (aka) “Mother of Haulover Beach”

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Helen talks to Prof. Annebella Pollen - part 2
Q: Do you think things have moved on? Was Maurice Parmelis ahead of his time?
Parmelis was ahead of his time, and while attitudes have shifted, the basic ideas about equality and empowerment in naturism still face backlash or skepticism from some quarters; the core fight for visibility and acceptance continues, though it's less intense than a century ago.
Helen talks to Maja Penko
Q: What would you say to women curious about naturism but worried about judgment?
Begin by looking in the mirror, accept yourself, and practice small steps at home like going topless or sleeping naked to build confidence, then gradually extend to public naturist settings with support from friends or organizations.
Helen talks to Maja Penko
Q: Are you still a tour guide?
Yes, I am still a tour guide and I weave naturism into conversations with customers to educate and normalize the lifestyle.
Helen talks to Karen Golec
Q: Do you think there's a difference between the words naturism and nudism?
I think some people like to differentiate. I use them interchangeably.
Helen talks to Karen Golec
Q: How did you find out about the women's retreat in Fort Aventura?
I found out through the British Naturism website, which has many good resources and events.
