Minnesota Naturists

We are naturists. You might also call us nudists. We enjoy being naked. We practice social nudism. We come in all sizes and shapes. Many of us struggle with our body image. Some of us are still uneasy in our nudity. Many of us have spouses, friends, family and employers who don't or wouldn't understand.

We've come together as Minnesota Naturists to find others who also enjoy being nude and to discover places and events where we can be nude more freely. Centered in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St Paul, we include members throughout Minnesota, western Wisconsin and surrounding territory. We do not own a park or resort, but instead find opportunities where we can--in members' homes and rural property, in rented facilities or secluded public lands. We are always looking for new places we can be nude, new things we can do while nude and new friends who will understand us, support us and join us.

The purpose of Minnesota Naturists is to:

• Encourage acceptance of the human body and of nudity as its natural state.
• Expand the opportunities for people in our region to be nude, individually and socially.
• Increase public acceptance of nudity.
• Advocate public policy that is more accepting of nudity.

In support of this purpose, Minnesota Naturists:

• Sponsors clothing optional events.
• Promotes grassroots naturism, encouraging people to explore the topic of nudity with friends and to host their own clothing optional events. We can help with planning, organizing and publicity.
• Works to identify locations in the area suitable for enjoyment in the nude.
• Works with other area clubs to expand opportunities for all.
• Works with media, community and art organizations to encourage a more positive community attitude toward nudity and to publicize events of interest to the naturist community.
• Holds workshops and meetings, sets up booths at events and provides speakers to introduce interested individuals to naturism and to area resources for naturists and nudists.
• Monitors legislation.
