First-Timers Guide

So you want to try social nudism. A most excellent decision! After reading this page you should have a pretty good idea what to expect on your first visit. All of the most frequently-asked questions are covered here, as well as some general information, hints and tips, do’s and don’t’s, you get the idea. The most important idea to remember at Serendipity is “Just take it easy.” You may be understandably nervous about it, but also a bit eager for the experience. What should you expect from your first visit to a nudist environment? Expect to feel anxious and strange…for about 30 seconds! Then expect to feel stress, strain, tension, and anxiety begin to melt away as you experience the freedom of being clothes-free and escape from the (learned) cultural shame of body taboos. Have you ever seen a toddler who just hated being naked? Of course not, shame is an emotion we must be taught. You will be amazed how quickly you revert to your natural (unashamed) state.

You should also expect to meet an amazing group of individuals who have won the AANR’s Koch Award (for outstanding friendliness) EIGHT times! Our members will go out of their way to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
