Working Naked Day

Working Naked Day is an annual holiday aimed at encouraging people to shed their complexes. To celebrate, you need to spend your working day completely naked. However, it is crucial to discuss this with colleagues and, most importantly, with management, as many might find this undertaking immoral and indecent in a societal context! It is annually on the first Friday of February.

History

The idea of creating this holiday belongs to author and household expert Lisa Kanarek. She proposed establishing Working Naked Day in 2010, which was enthusiastically supported by the Naturist Bare Oaks Park.

Bare Oaks is located in Canada, near Toronto. It is owned by Stéphane Deschênes and his family. He claims that people who decide to relax in this park shed their complexes and can embrace traditional naturist values. In addition to the park, the clubhouse offers many amenities to its clients, including saunas and hot tubs.

Stéphane Deschênes asks that Bare Oaks members be called naturists, not nudists, as the goal is different: people must learn to accept their bodies as they are and not be ashamed of them. With clothes, we try to hide our shortcomings rather than embrace them. Events that allow like-minded naturists to meet help individuals relax and open up both physically and spiritually.

Interesting facts

• The park was founded in 1972. It was originally called the Helios Society.
• The Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park Club has received recognition from many international and American naturist organizations.
• The Deschênes family company also owns a boutique and a bistro that follow the best traditions of naturism.

How to celebrate

Spend your Friday working day completely naked. If it’s not possible to do this at work, celebrating Working Naked Day is an excellent excuse to visit Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park and join a friendly community of like-minded naturists.
