• Why being naked is good for us <3

    Being nude around others can increase life satisfaction, encourage a more positive body image, + uplift our self-esteem.

    Being nude can improve our skin, help us sleep better, + enhance our health.

    Nudity is natural + beneficial to us when there’s a brave space that allows us to be ourselves.

    VIRTUAL NUDE GATHERING

    Saturday, June 5th at 1pm eastern

    In 2019 I facilitated 3 in-person nude gatherings and knew that I NEEDED to share more of these experiences with others. Then the pandemic happened and in-person events were no longer possible, so I’ve adapted nude gatherings for the virtual realm!!

    The first virtual nude gathering went so well that I extended the length of time we’re together!

    Several people from the first virtual event mentioned they wished the event would be longer… + I think that’s a wonderful idea!

    Instead of 1 hour we gather for 90 minutes!!

    This is the 3rd virtual nude gathering, and 3 is my favorite number!

    Join us to create this community space together

    We gathered from all over the USA + the world!

    Past attendees have included people from across the globe including the USA, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Germany, Netherlands + Australia.


    Feedback from nude gatherers:

    “Nude gatherings have helped me to recontextualize nudity with a happy, healing family. I’d been feeling some trauma around the sexualization of nudityI felt warm, welcomed, and cared for after this light hearted session. Community, finding like minded people, playing games and getting to know one another are what I enjoyed most about this experience.”
    -Jenna C

    “Before the gathering started I was very nervous about coming off as awkward, and also worried about how I would feel or react to a “room” full of naked bodies.
    After it was over I honestly felt lighter, and slightly liberated. I left the room feeling great. It was very inclusive and affirming. I felt heard and connected with the other participants in a safe, non-sexual way… Which was a first for me!
    I think everyone, especially those of us who hold marginalized identities, deserves the opportunity to experience nudity in this context. It can be very healing and beautiful.”
    -AD

    “The somatic part was valuable. I appreciated being able to present my whole body on screen. I’m not an exhibitionist, but I do have body insecurity. Being fully seen and being accepted as I physically am and not judged is validating. Your fears and insecurities are probably based on a misconception of what the event will be like. We aren’t there to gawk at you. We aren’t there for sexual stimulation or arousal.
    -RB

    “Before the gathering I felt anxious, doubtful, scared, overwhelmed. Afterwards I felt grounded, seen, heard, respected, unashamed, hopeful that society is moving in the right direction.”
    -MD

    Nude gatherings are for moving past the societal conditioning that our nude bodies are inherently bad, sexual, or to be consumed by others, and reclaiming them as the magical vessels of life, love, and healing that they are.


    If you think your friends would enjoy attending a virtual nude gathering, invite them to join!

    I’m really looking forward to gathering with you 💗

    Exploring nudity + encouraging self love,

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! It’s been a while since I’ve done a vlog so I wanted to come on here and say HI! Also the bird wants to say hi too, not sure what kind of bird that is, but hi! It’s so nice outside! I want to make this short because… lots of reasons, but I’ll make this short so… the main things I want to talk to you about are one: virtual nude gathering, the one for this month, er May, is coming up next weekend May 8th at 1pm EST, so if you want to join us, since you’re a member you get to join for free, all you have to do is use code BLMBR when you’re checking out to get your ticket on eventbrite. I’ll have all the links below and I’ll type up that code so you can just copy and paste or whatever you want to do.

    I’m very excited, last month’s, or April’s nude gathering was the first one I opened up to the public and it was AMAZING! There were a dozen of us there and we were from all across the United States, we had people join us from the Netherlands, from Australia, from Germany, from Malaysia. It was amazing, I had a super great time and I got some really wonderful feedback from everyone and the majority of people were like “can we do this for longer next time?” so instead of an hour like last month we’re going to do an hour and a half for this month. So if you want to come, link is down there! Join us I’m so excited!

    The other thing I wanted to talk about was I’ve been doing some updates to my website slowly, like incrementally and I’m really excited because I’m improving the way that all of this is working and everything is going to be looking fancier, so if you notice things are looking different than they used to be that’s because I’m doing updates. I’d love to hear your feedback if you’re having any issues or if you have any questions or if you’re just like “hey this looks awesome” you can email me at bunnyluna@pm.me or you can comment below. Yeah I’m excited!

    I’m really looking forward to spending time with you at the virtual nude gathering! And also, I don’t want to put too many links in here, but Going Beyond the Lens has 2 events every month, we have the art share coming up and the conversation event also. Last month’s events went really well, they were smaller than our usual events and we think that’s because the weather is getting warmer and people want to be outside instead of inside during the weekend on the computer doing an event. So I’d love to hear your feedback on that too if you’re someone who’s been to them and were like, had other things going on or yeah if you wanna see if we can do other dates and stuff. I don’t know, let me know! We’re open to changing things up to make it work for everyone so yeah.

    Uhm what else? Those are the main big things. I’ll have links below for the art share and conversation event for Going Beyond the Lens. The topic this month is femininity so I’m kinda excited and also like… I don’t know, I won’t be presenting at this one because I don’t have a lot to say about… well maybe I do have a lot to say about femininity, but I presented at the last one and we’re taking turns presenting so it’s not all 3 of us presenting every time because that’s kind of unnecessary, especially since we have guest speakers for our conversation events which is wonderful. So yeahhh I’d love to hear your feedback, I hope you’ve been doing good. I’m just really glad that it’s finally getting warm.

    Also! ALSO! My tattoo… all of this! I’m finally finished with all the linework for it. Alex finished up the linework last week on the 22nd and I absolutely love it. So I’ll show you the new stuff! I now have a little dragonfly, this is all new, this is new, this is new, and then the whole top of my back is new. Yayyyyy. So that means that next time we get to start on color!!!!!!!!!! I’m so excited yall! Alex is the same artist who did this tattoo, so yeah you know it’s going to be awesome because Alex is awesome and I’m super excited. Cover me in plants, I’m going to turn into a tree! Yay!

    Join me at the virtual nude gathering next Saturday May 8th at 1pm EST. The next 2 weekends are GBTL events, is it the next 2? No, it’s.. there’s a… I’ll put all the dates and stuff below, I don’t remember if they’re all consecutive weeks or not. I think they are? But I don’t have a calendar in my brain.

    So yeah, I love you! Thank you for being here! Your support means everything to me! Yeah I’m so excited to hang out with you virtually and naked! Yay! *mwah*

    We gathered from all over the USA + the world!

    April’s attendees were from the USA, Malaysia, Germany, Netherlands + Australia.


    Some of the feedback I got from April’s nude gathering:

    Virtual nude gatherings are for folks who:

    -are able to communicate their ideas, feelings, and opinions while respecting others
    -want to explore how it feels to be nude in a non-sexual setting
    -are curious about expanding their comfort zone

    They are NOT for folks who:

    -are only interested in nudity if it involves a sexual act of some kind
    -want to watch everyone else and not participate
    -are unable to communicate with or respect others

    If you think your friends would enjoy attending a virtual nude gathering, invite them to join!

    CAPTION FOR THE VIDEO ABOVE:

    Hi friends! I’m excited to be here today to invite you, formally invite you, all of you, to the virtual nude gathering that I’ll be hosting very soon! Coming up on Saturday April 10th. I’m so excited! This will be the second virtual nude gathering I’ve done. I’ve previously done 3 in person nude gatherings which were INCREDIBLE so with that experience I’m really excited to be offering these experiences online. If you wanna get naked “in person” with me and a bunch of other cool people that wanna just hang out naked in a non sexual context and get to know each other and spend time and be in our bodies. You are invited!

    You get in for FREE using code “BLMBR” I’ll put it in the caption below so you don’t have to worry about writing it down or anything. Yeah I’m so excited. These events, I had originally thought about doing it for members only but I think I’m going to have all of them available for the public and  members. I might in the future do some members only things, but for right now I’m excited to be able to invite the public so that we have a larger group of people so that we can really be excited and naked in community together. If it was members only it would be a really small group, and I’m excited to open the doors and welcome more people into this cool space with us.

    You’re invited! Saturday April 10th at 1pm eastern time, it’ll be on zoom. All the information is in the eventbrite that I’m going to link below. Use code BLMBR to get in for free. Uhm what am I missing? I think that’s most of the information. There’s a whole bunch more information on the eventbrite so just click the link I’m going to have it below. Yeah please register I would love to see your face there. Let’s hang out naked! I’m excited!

    Okay is there anything else I want to talk to you about? I think very soon I’m going to make another poll, another survey thing to see what kinds of things you’re interested in learning from me in a more specific way. I have the answers from yall from before which is helping me make decisions already in terms of what kind of content I’m going to be creating. Uhm yeah I don’t want to go too much into that, but I’m just excited about this nude gathering that’s super soon. You’re invited please come I would love to see you! MWAH!
