In this episode of Naked Age, we explore the history of The Neo Naturists, a trio of British artists who used their bodies as living canvases to challenge societal norms around nudity, art, and identity. At the heart of this story is Wilma Johnson, who, alongside Jennifer and Christine Binnie, helped pioneer this bold form of performance art in the 1980s. We take a deep dive into their cultural influence, examining how their work intersected with feminist and art movements of the time and how, after four decades, they are finally receiving the recognition they deserve. Wilma reflects on her journey as an artist, her personal take on naturism, and her contributions to this groundbreaking collective.

Naked Mindfulness

In 1975, Dr. Herbert Benson introduced the world to The Relaxation Response, a groundbreaking exploration of how simple meditative techniques can reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Benson’s work built a bridge between ancient Eastern practices and modern Western science, making meditation more accessible to a wide audience. While his techniques sparked a global interest in mindfulness, they didn’t venture into the territory of naturism. For that, we turn to Richard Dewey.

Richard Dewey, a meditation instructor and humanist based in Phoenix, Arizona, has spent decades exploring the possibilities of mindfulness. Drawing inspiration from Benson’s pioneering work, Richard developed his own approach, rooted in humanism and a commitment to compassion and ethical living. His teaching style reflects a deep belief in meditation as a tool for self-discovery, community building, and personal growth.

In partnership with Planet Nude, and for the first time, Richard, an avowed naturist, is now offering a unique series of nude meditation classes—Nude Fundamentals 1.

These classes blend the liberating principles of naturism with the grounding practice of meditation, creating a safe, body-positive space for participants to connect with themselves and others. Scheduled for February 4th, March 4th, and April 8th, these sessions promise an opportunity to explore mindfulness in a way that few have experienced.

Planet Nude readers can attend these classes at a special rate of just $16 by using the exclusive discount code PlanetNude0496 during registration. Click here if you want to learn more about the class, or register here to secure your spot.

In the following interview, Richard discusses his journey into meditation, the philosophy behind Humanist Meditation, and the synergy between naturism and mindfulness. Whether you’re a seasoned meditator, a curious naturist, or both, this conversation offers valuable insights into the transformative potential of meditation in all its forms.
