Faces of Canadian Nudism
07/17/23 • 63 min
In this episode, we'll delve into the history of Canada’s nudism movements. We’ll hear the stories of various Canadian nudist leaders, and learn how two distinct regions found common ground and forged a cooperative partnership, their shared aim to represent Canadian naturists across Canada and internationally. And then we’ll meet Petra Scheller, a woman whose relentless advocacy and effort in service of that union made her a face of Canadian naturism.

Then, he shares an intimate conversation between the longtime friends, recorded four years prior to Woody's passing in May of 2023. In it, Woody candidly shares his passion for the arts, civil liberties, and nudism, all in the cozy setting of Woody's eclectic Victorian parlor. A heartfelt tribute to a genuine individual who defied conventions.
