The way men see women's bodies isn't hard-wired biology - it's learned. And if it can be learned, it can be unlearned. New blog post: 📖 blog.berrimansbareall.uk/p/what-i-lea... #BodyImage #MentalHealth #Parenting #GenderEquality #Objectification #malegaze #misogyny

Freedom isn’t a place you arrive at it’s the feeling that lives in your skin. And together, we choose it every day. @helen.berrimansbareall.uk

Merry Christmas one and all! We've had a fab day. Siobhan and Pete popped in for a drink this morning, so we had to get a Christmas photo. (Yes, Helen's earrings light up!) with @helen.berrimansbareall.uk

Last year I collaborated with a bunch of folk on Twitter to produce a naturist rendition on Jingle Bells! Its unlikely its going to top any charts, but it was a bit of festive fun. Maybe next year we can try a Bluesky version. vimeo.com/783753180

Merry Christmas everyone, from the Berrimans! 🎄 x

I'm not a big fan of karaoke, but give me a bit of SingStar on the PS3 and I'm there! Lovely pre-Christmas evening with Pete and Siobhan. 🎤🤶

Not your usual Saturday afternoon. Went to the clothing optional performance of "Boys in the Buff" (optional for the audience, that is!) with @helen.berrimansbareall.uk at the Golden Goose theatre in Camberwell. A fun body positive play.

Christmas has finally come to the Berriman household. We bought the tree today and put up the decorations. I spent hours untangling the tree lights... @helen.berrimansbareall.uk did her sideboard display too. We haven't found the Santa hats yet though...

My wife @helen.berrimansbareall.uk runs the Women in Naturism campaign, helping people overcome body shame through acceptance. Australia's social media age-ban would legally block her from reaching teens who need that message most. This isn't about naturism, it's about evidence-based protection.

I spoke to Alex Light and Em Clarkson for the 'Should I Delete That?' #podcast at their studio a couple of weeks ago. They were genuinely interested in what naturism is. The more we chat about this kind of stuff, the more myths are busted. 🔊 podfollow.com/should-i-del... @britnaturism.bsky.social

Women in Focus - Two Year Anniversary Special www.planetnude.co/p/women-in-f...

Episode 25: Helen marks Women in Focus’s two-year anniversary with returning guests, real stories, and laughter. Celebrate the voices, wisdom, and warmth that have shaped the #podcast - a milestone of confidence, allyship, and community. 🔊 podcast.bn.org.uk/womeninfocus/ @britnaturism.bsky.social

A good article. A couple of corrections as it is only an offence being naked if the person intends to cause harassment, alarm or distress. The law protects Naturists.

Its nearly the end of the season, but we have one last opportunity to enjoy @britnaturism.bsky.social Sunfolk at the EC meeting weekend. Getting in the hot tub in the cold, crisp autumn morning air certainly wakes you up!

Today's @britnaturism.bsky.social Naked Heart Walk at Leonardslee Lake and Gardens was rather wet, but it didn't dampen spirits. It wasn't cold and skin dries easily! And @helen.berrimansbareall.uk kept an eye on the café... The Naked Heart Walks are to raise funds for @thebhf.bsky.social.

I always underestimate how long it takes to set up all the machines at NRG Live! Nevertheless it was a very enjoyable and successful day at @naturistfoundation.org on Saturday. Its always great to see peoples excitement when they spot a game they haven't seen in decades! Roll on the next one. 😁

Episode 22: Helen and her adult stepdaughter Lizzie talk about family naturism, growing up with body confidence, and breaking social norms - with laughs, media stories, and a fresh, unfiltered take on being yourself, clothes or no clothes. British Naturism #podcast

Here's a piece which I have written to coincide with my daughter being on the Women In Focus podcast, and which the INF have kindly hosted. Her episode is out tomorrow, Sat. 6th Sept. Our society is 'protecting children into the very problems we seek to prevent.' Its time for an honest conversation.

Reminder - #NakedHeartWalk at Leonardslee Garden - 14 September www.bn.org.uk/news/news/bh...

Completing our trio of naturist festivals in one month, thisiseverybody.co.uk festival! A completely different vibe to the others, much more chilled out. That said, we're off to Splashdown water park tomorrow. And this is definitely the last time I'm sleeping on an airbed this year!

🎥 Exclusive Interview with @helen.berrimansbareall.uk part 2 Helen speaks out on censorship, body shame, and why hiding the human form only fuels ignorance. A powerful call for honesty, visibility, and embracing the body as it is. Full interview on P4tre.on /hectormtz

A few pics from our 2nd festival of the summer - #PitS25 at @naturistfoundation.org. 3 days of live music, good friends from across the country, and a reasonably priced bar! Next up - EveryBody festival in Dorset... with @simon.berrimansbareall.uk @nakedtravels1.bsky.social @cpl2624.bsky.social

It's Party in the Stark 2025! Weather is mostly just about holding. And this year's photo area included an oversized chair... #PitS25 #PitS #festival @helen.berrimansbareall.uk @naturistfoundation.org

Missing Nudefest! Its great to catch up with everyone, and every year it seems more people are happy to be public about being naturists. @britnaturism.bsky.social @hectormartinez.bsky.social @nakedtravels1.bsky.social @naturistneil.bsky.social @simon.berrimansbareall.uk @freewilders.bsky.social

So I'm now 50 years old... Not keen on that idea but embracing it! This present from my daughter is very apt though! A 'belly bag' 😆 With @helen.berrimansbareall.uk

A post from the INF about a recent survey conducted by FFN, the French Naturist Federation (ffn-naturisme.com), showing comparable results to the BN survey of 2022. Its on the rise amongst the younger generations, just not in naturist centres. inf-fni.org/french-surve...

All packed up and ready to go home from #nudefest2025 @britnaturism.bsky.social. It's been a blast! #womeninnaturism #naturism #festival #wellbeing

It's so hot here at Nudefest! 🥵 We're frying in this tent... @hectormartinez.bsky.social @freewilders.bsky.social @britnaturism.bsky.social #festival #camping #heatwave

It's @britnaturism.bsky.social Nudefest 2025! @simon.berrimansbareall.uk and I are set up on the orange field, if anyone else is here and wants to say hi. You can't miss our tent...

Hate the idea that modern games are built to expire? If a kid buys access to any game today, shouldn't they be able to load it up and get their own 'retro kick' in 30 years time? If so, we need it as part of our consumer rights. ✅ www.stopkillinggames.com

Nearly 3 years ago now @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and myself took part in "The Big Celeb Detox" on Channel 4, leading the celebrities in Nude Mirror Gazing. Thanks to a subscriber elsewhere, we've now been pointed at the episode on YouTube... 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxGd...

When you know, you know! Ok, a guilty pleasure of @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and myself is watching 'Bargain Hunt' at lunchtime. And when the camera panned the auction room we spotted a logo we recognised! Good bit of free advertising there @heritage-n-club.bsky.social...

Proving that we do occasionally do "sports"! @helen.berrimansbareall.uk and myself made use of the dart board after the official match at Pride at BN Sunfolk. Ok, technically Helen was wardening, but it can't be all work, right? 😁🎯 @britnaturism.bsky.social
