安省的天体公园

一直都有听说过温哥华的天体海滩,但还是第一次知道就在安大略省沙伦,多伦多周边,有一处绿树环抱的幽静之地,名叫贝尔奥克家庭天体公园(Bare Oaks Family Naturist park),这里的工作人员和游客都是除掉枷锁,赤身裸体,你可以露营,度假,划船,游泳,仿佛神话中的伊甸园。

The “traditional values” portion results from our observation that numerous naturist clubs have lost the philosophy of naturism. To many, naturism is only an occasional recreational activity representing simply an alternative to wearing a bathing suit. Gone are the social, psychological, environmental, and moral aspects of the movement. While we don’t want to revert to the days of mandatory calisthenics, vegetarianism, and alcohol/tobacco bans, we do want to reintroduce naturism as a philosophy and a way of life. Of course, that’s not for everyone; but each person can make a choice whether Bare Oaks is right for her or him. We’re not trying to appeal to everyone. Bare Oaks exists for those who are passionate about naturism.

People often ask why, if naturists are so tolerant of others, Bare Oaks does not allow people to remain clothed if they so desire. (When the environment permits, of course!) On the surface, this call for tolerance seems very logical. That and an aspiration to be more inclusive have been the drivers of the clothing-optional movement in recent decades.

It would be great if we lived in a utopia where nobody cares what we wear and we could be nude anywhere we desired. That may be possible some day. But in our world it is playing on the dock

impossible, because of constant social pressure which fosters an incredible amount of body shame and obsession with clothing. These messages are deeply embedded in most people since childhood, and reinforced constantly through the way our world is built and the reactions of others. Most people’s fear of nudity and their body is so deeply ingrained in their psyche that it has become subconscious, instinctual, and emotiona

There are many variations of clothing-optional around the world. They generally don’t work, because they don’t operate independently from the rest of the world. Naturist places are a subset of society, not a truly independent culture. Since the pressures of the textile world are ever-present in naturism, we must apply an equal, balancing pressure in naturist clubs to maintain naturist values.

让人心旷神怡的万锦Main Street

记得刚来多伦多时,专门到 MainStreet 玩过,一条仿佛是欧洲或蒙特利尔的某个小街,街道两旁散落着具有百年历史的老屋和各种精品小店,每年夏天都会吸引大多伦多地区甚至远道的加拿大人前来参观游玩,或欣赏风情或坐在街头喝咖啡听音乐。

自今年将家搬到附近,每天开车上下班回家路过这里,街边的鲜花绽放的令人陶醉,各色人们牵着狗,悠闲的吃着冰淇淋,喝着咖啡,有些就干脆坐在街边的椅子上晒太阳,仿佛让我找到了一种心灵上的遐意和安宁。

夏日的夜晚,在Mainstreet 的露天音乐广场,还能免费欣赏现场音乐会,有个周六我同老公到此处散步,刚好有音乐会,坐在那里听着我们熟悉的乐曲,我在想:还有什么所求哪?
