JOIN US FOR SIX DAYS OF FUN, GROWTH AND COMMUNITY
at the Midwinter Naturist Festival Thursday, February 11 through Tuesday, February 16, (Presidents’ Day Weekend) hosted by Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort. Choose from over 300 activities or relax and play in the South Florida sun. Renew friendships and make new friends. Be part of a caring community committed to exploration and growth. Enjoy the freedom of feeling the sun, air and water over ALL of you.
Inspiring and entertaining performances by Armand and Angelina, Faerie Elaine Silver and Robin Renee will once again highlight the Festival. Special features will be intensive workshops on African drumming and dancing and a series of participatory photography seminars.
New Age experiential workshops will focus on health, personal growth, arts, ecology and relationships. Join in activities such as pilates, yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, tantric exercises, scuba diving, massage, water aerobics, healing touch, reiki, juggling, a skin cancer screening, watsu, poi-twirling, Puja, meditation, Hindu Kirtan, parachute games, harmonic singing, relationship exploration, past life exploration and a variety of spiritual celebrations.
Be creative with tie dye, figure drawing, clay sculpting, body painting, hula, crafts, belly dancing, vision bracelets, henna tattoos and Valentine love spells. Learn about Florida’s ecology, environmental actions, astronomy, acupuncture, I Ching, runes, soul mates, psychic development, Hawaiian huna, voodou, and animal totems.
The Festival provides an opportunity for naturists to explore important issues of nude beach activism and strategies to protect and promote opportunities for nude recreation. We will create a nude peace sign on a nearby beach. There will be special activities for singles, parents, gays, professors & researchers, and photographers. Plus we'll hold the traditional pudding toss free-for-all.
On Tuesday you can join a trip for a relaxing day at Haulover Beach, Florida's premier nude beach where over 2000 naturists spend each weekend - or canuding through a tropical jungle sanctuary on the Loxahatchee River.
Evenings will feature inspiring music of talented singers, circle celebrations, a play reading, an old time square dance, the photography of Mark Sadan, a variety show, DJ dances, nightly drumming circles with dancing and fire spinners, and movies.
In addition to a full schedule of fun, exciting activities for children, a youth camp will give children and teens an opportunity to camp and bond together. Sunsport Gardens Family Naturist Resort, located 14 miles west of West Palm Beach, offers volleyball, tennis, horseshoes, petanque, an 87 degree heated swimming pool, hot tub spa, sauna, fitness center, WI- FI, fishing and kayaking ponds, a children's playground, and a jungle nature trail on 40 acres of lush, tropical vegetation.
