Body Acceptance Begins by Getting Nude in Palm Springs

INNdulge, a leading gay resort in Palm Springs, is once again inviting men to get in touch with their bodies and spirits, September 27 through the 30th, for three fun days of uninhibited camaraderie under the hot desert sun at their annual Naked Artists & Friends Weekend. This year, the festivities start early with the resort's first Body Acceptance Workshop, taking place September 25 through the 27th. The two-day seminar will help men overcome body issues with tailored group discussions, step-by-step plans, light physical activities (stretching/yoga, beginner gym time) and individual coaching sessions; all in the safe, nonjudgmental, clothing-optional environment that is INNdulge.

"There's a whole body positivity movement for women going on today but body acceptance among men is not being addressed," says Jon Jackson, a co-owner of INNdulge. "Men are suffering silently while the media bombards us with idealized images of what our bodies should look like."

Topics that will be covered at the Body Acceptance Workshop include Appearance (age, body hair, skin, etc.), Weight & Belly, Why Nudism?, and, of course, Penis Size. "The porn industry sells fantasy as entertainment, and that's fine, but many men are fooled into thinking that huge penises are common," continues Jackson.

The goal of the workshop is to help men develop pride and a love for the skin they are in. At the end of the two-day course, they will be given a step-by-step blueprint to help them maintain their confidence when they return home.

Those who wish to continue their nudist journey will stay for Naked Artists & Friends Weekend, an exciting weekend of camaraderie with other naked men. New York artist Shungaboy will lead the festivities that include Naked Figure Drawing, a Naked Hike in the desert, Naked Yoga, and relaxation by the INNdulge pool.

The Body Acceptance Workshop at INNdulge Palm Springs takes place September 25-27. Naked Artists & Friends Weekend takes place Sept 27-30. Register now at MensNakedDrawing.com. Out of town attendees can book their room at INNdulge.com.
