Western Naturist Society Festival & Conference
August 13–17**

Join us August 13–17 for the Naturist Society Festival & Conference, a four-day celebration of community, freedom, learning, and play at Lupin. Each day invites you to slow down, connect, and explore—from morning coffee chats and beach trips to thoughtful panels, creative workshops, forest bathing, storytelling, healing arts, and lively evening events. Enjoy music, hikes, improv, pool parties, games, and conversations that uplift body acceptance and naturist culture. Whether you’re a longtime member or newly curious, this gathering offers a welcoming space to learn, share, and simply be yourself in nature. We can’t wait to see you there.
