The retreat's organizer, a warm and wise woman named Luna, took Emily under her wing and introduced her to the ways of naturism.

The modern nudist movement has its roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it emerged as a response to the strict social norms and Victorian-era prudery. The first nudist clubs and resorts were established in Europe and North America, providing a safe haven for like-minded individuals to practice nudism. Over the years, the movement has grown, and today, there are thousands of nudist clubs, resorts, and online communities worldwide. purenudism.com
