Our Vision

We, the leaders and members of AANR-East, understand ourselves to be part of a cultural and political movement of promotion, education, protection and empowerment in behalf of social nudism. We envision that users of nudist venues (clubs, beaches, parks, public lands, and other facilities) will understand their role in making up the communities that model healthy ways of living and associating. Under the AANR brand, we continue to live, plan, and work together in ways that challenge many of society’s erroneous assumptions about social nudism.  Our forerunners have worked and fought for the privileges nudists enjoy today, although the struggle for acceptance and understanding ofthe benefits and reality of our nudist way of life is far from over.

Our Strategic Goal

Our strategic goal clarifies the actions that AANR-East must take in order to (1) help leaders and members focus their efforts,  (2) motivate and challenge people to make a difference, and, (3) provide a phrase that is easy to remember and can be incorporated in an elevator speech.

We believe that:

  • The human body is wholesome and a wonderful work of nature.
  • Social nudity is a way to achieve healthy body acceptance.
  • Seeking a healthy mind in a healthy body is a way of life.
  • Social nudity enhances positive social interactions.
  • Social nudity is independent from overt sexual behavior

We value:

  • Promoting and supporting social nudity.
  • Promoting and supporting body acceptance.
  • Cultivating healthy minds in healthy bodies.
  • Nudity as quite natural, neither inherently disturbing nor sensational.
  • Including all people who are willing to uphold our beliefs and values.
