EP. 11 – Art, Naturism & The Nudist Diaries with Edward

 this episode, I sit down with Edward, the creator behind The Nudist Diaries, to explore his journey into naturism and how it’s shaped the way he sees himself, others, and the world around him.We talk about the role art plays in challenging society’s tendency to sexualize the human body, and how Edward uses his drawings to present nudity in a natural, everyday, and non-sexual way. We also dive into the culture and atmosphere of nude beaches, including places like Wreck Beach in Vancouver and Three Mile Beach in Penticton, and what makes each space unique.Throughout the conversation, we touch on body acceptance, community, etiquette, and the importance of creating safe, respectful environments where people can simply exist as they are.This is a real and honest conversation about breaking stigma, finding comfort in your own skin, and seeing the human body for what it truly is — natural.⸻ResourcesThe Nudist Diaries – The musings and rantings of a Nudist in a world gone mad.Sarah Hester – Naked in the Woods – Project NakedLet’s Talk About My Latest Drawing – The Nudist DiariesLet’s Talk About Why I Draw What I Do – The Nudist DiariesLet’s Talk About Three Mile Beach – The Nudist DiariesGet NAKED + Be Free + Be KindFollow the journey on Instagram: @HikingWithoutAStitch
