00:00Hauraki Naturally is a community of ordinary people who enjoy and promote the freedom of

00:19a clothing optional lifestyle, including naturists, nudists, body positivity campaigners, healthy

00:26living advocates and many others.

00:29We are open to anyone, including those who are interested in trying out and learning

00:33about this way of life and its characteristics.

00:37Our primary aims are to combat and remove the long ingrained taboos, shame and sexual

00:43connotations that typify one's attitudes towards the naked human body, to educate society on

00:49the many physical and mental health benefits of spending time without clothing, and to

00:54normalise nudity as a respectable standard of casual dress in appropriate public situations.

01:01Simply being naked in appropriate situations is not illegal in New Zealand and in many

01:05other countries.

01:07We offer a wealth of information and support.

01:10The right to choose what or what not to wear belongs to everyone.

01:14If you love to shed these clothes and spend time naked, then we hope you can find what

01:19you're looking for here.

01:21The benefits of spending time without clothes are many and varied.

01:25The sheer freedom of being naked in the great outdoors has to be experienced to be understood.

01:31Whether for health, close to nature and the environment, or just sheer practicality, you

01:36too can benefit from the joys of a clothing optional lifestyle.

01:41Being naked outdoors on a sunny day is a delight to your senses, creating a feeling of wellbeing.

01:48Some scientific research is now finding that time spent in green and blue spaces is strongly

01:54linked with mental health and combating depression.

01:57Being naked lets you feel the breeze and the warmth of the sun over your whole body, without

02:02the hindrance that clothing imposes.

02:05Time spent naked in the great outdoors allows you to unwind.

02:10Many people feel more connected with nature when naked.

02:13Spending time walking naked through a majestic forest, or along a shoreline, or by a babbling

02:18stream can be an ethereal and spiritual experience, reconnecting you to the earth and your natural

02:24surroundings.

02:26Gardening naked is a great way to feel invigorated, liberated and at one with nature.

02:32Swimming is infinitely more pleasant and sensible without togs.

02:36You have no clothing restriction, and you will avoid the stings of microscopic jellyfish

02:44called Hydromedusae, which get caught inside swimming togs, causing serious skin rash and irritation.

02:51Without the facade of clothing, people see each other as equals.

02:55Societal status disappears and you are accepted as you are, no matter who you are or what

03:00you look like.

03:02Bodies come in all shapes and sizes, scars, birth defects, but in a clothes-free environment

03:07everyone is accepted without prejudice.

03:11There is no need to worry about how your body compares with someone else's.

03:15Hierarchy naturally advocates body autonomy, the right for a person to govern what happens

03:21to their own body without unnecessary external influence or coercion.

03:26This includes you being in charge of when you want to wear clothes and when you don't.

03:31It's surprising how often you can go about your daily activities around home without

03:35needing clothes on.

03:38Contrary to popular opinion, nudity is not harmful to children.

03:42In fact, research suggests that the opposite is true.

03:46Children who have grown up in a clothing-optional home environment have a far better and healthier

03:50understanding and acceptance of the human body, including their own, and how it develops.

03:57On approaching puberty, they lack the impulse of curiosity about the human body that causes

04:02concern to parents of other kids.

04:05These especially tend to not get hooked into pornography and it's woman demeaning culture.

04:11Whether it is meeting up with friends, playing sport, attending social events or just relaxing,

04:17being connected with other clothes-free people can give you a great deal of enjoyment.

04:21There is always something going on and you never need to feel alone.

04:26Much of the Hierarchy Naturally website is open to the general public where people have

04:30access to a wealth of information about life without clothes.

04:34There is also a media page with advice for journalists when writing about the subject.

04:38You don't have to register to access these open areas.

04:42We accept people in New Zealand and overseas, and we have no age restriction, provided that

04:48your use of the website does not violate your country's laws.

04:53What's the cost to you?

04:55Nothing.

04:56We do not charge levies to become members of Hierarchy Naturally.

05:00We rely on voluntary support from our people.

05:03If you see that there is a value in what we do have, you have the ability to donate

05:08to our projects and provide assistance to keep the lights on.

05:12So what are you waiting for?

05:14Subscribe, join and help the movement grow and develop as a world leader in natural maturity.
