ANW launched it's Virtual Meets on 11 November 2022 and we have created this topic to allow participants to make suggestions of things that  they would like to see discussed at the meetings - topics to be debated, ideas to be considered, wonderful ways to spend our Virtual time together. 

Naturism obviously is a prime connector - promoting, encouraging, inspiring and developing - but it doesn't have to be the only thing we talk about. The way this aspect of ANW develops and grows is partly down to every one of us and the ideas we bring to the table. Whether it is open debate, guest speakers, skill sharing, knowledge interaction or relating experiences and stories.

So do share your thought here - and if you like someone's idea give them the Thumbs up, offer Thanks, add a Reputation or leave a Comment or Post below.

We like to talk about "(nude) sports activities & naturism" 

Is it exaggerated and just showing off? Is it healthy - can it be healthy? 

Which sports activities have you already carried out naked with good experience and enjoyment?

Which sporting activities would you like to do naked, but where you still have too many concerns and fears?

-----------------------------------------
Can this be a good topic to talk about?

Thanks Jim. We run fortnightly chats, the next two dates for December have not been chosen yet, but will be anounced next week.  

We alter the times to allow for diferent time zones to join so we have members from Australia and New Zealnd joining  on some, and members from the Americas joining on others. Language can be a bit of a barrier for the south American countries, but Google Meets has a live translation set up so people can set it to subtitle in quite a few languages. 

We have also invited the New Zealand Federation to work with us on a specific date for a New Zealand special (just waiting for the board to find a date) and we have suggested the same to some representatives from the USA. We are chatting with the Canadian Federation at the moment too, so fingers crossed we can add that to a future live meet, and  possibly the Australian federation too. In time to come we can look at incorportaing some other countries too as we do not want to limit ANW to simply English speaking countries. We invite all non-English speaking members to be active on the site in their own language if they wish, though they mainly use English as that seems the more dominent language. 

Hello wonderful naturist community,

I won't be able to join the 17th Feb meet, but will the 29th. Based on a few last discussions here at ANW, here are a few ideas of topics that can be discussed:
- What does Get Real mean for ANW members?
- What activities do you consider more exhibitionism than naturism? For instance, does meeting hikers while hiking naked and not covering up is exhibitionism or naturism? Does opening the door to a delivery is exhibitionism or naturism?
- Are naturism and healthy living compatible, or does naturism lead to a healthier life?
- Sun cream and sunshine, or no sun cream and shade?

I look forward to our meet in 2 weeks.

From my experience, naturists absolutely LOVE great parties! 🎉 So why not bring that fun vibe into our Virtual Meets? Imagine having an online party where someone DJs or streams music — taking requests or running a collaborative playlist — so we all get to jam to our favorite tunes together. Everyone can grab their favorite drink 🍹, kick back, and enjoy lively conversations with awesome background music setting the mood. It would be such a fantastic way to connect, laugh, and share good energy no matter where we are!
