H&E naturist | May 2025
The May 2025 edition of H&E is out now!
As gardens across the globe begin to bloom, May marks the return of World Naked Gardening Day – a light-hearted but powerful reminder of naturism’s connection to nature.
In this issue, we celebrate ‘green fingers’ with practical, personal and philosophical reflections on the joy of shedding clothes outdoors. From yoga in the garden to the wider significance of Eden, contributors from A Naturist World and Nude & Happy share their experiences.
We also hear from Ahmed Raafat, who made the courageous journey from practising naturism in secret in Egypt to embracing it openly in the UK. Stuart McGowan reflects on naturism in retirement, while Andy Wyman explores the contrasts between naturist culture in the UK and the USA.
Elsewhere, our travel features include naturist adventures in La Gomera, Costa Rica and Germany, and Colin Wilson reflects on the evolving art of repeat photoshoots. There’s also a look at collecting vintage H&E magazines, the role of life drawing in naturist communities, and the impact of technology and age verification.
Whether you're an experienced gardener or just looking to reconnect with nature, this issue invites you to find joy, peace and purpose – right on your doorstep.
