First-Timers Guide to Social Nudism

Serendipity is, above all, an outdoor experience, a perfect place to kick back and enjoy clear North Georgia mountain air while communing with nature--just far enough from urban "civilization" to forget about its stresses but close enough for convenient access. For reading, relaxing or socializing there are multiple lawns and decks on different levels, each with unique scenery. Lounging choices include both sun and shade. The trees are quite varied and magnificent.

No visit is complete without a rejuvenating hike on Serendipity's nature trail, which combines a spectacular overview of Blue Creek with a backdrop of Yanah Mountain, and Serendipity's undeveloped acreage is habitat for wildlife of many species in addition to naked homo sapiens.

New to Social Nudity?

Nude recreation is surprisingly relaxing and uniquely freeing, as millions in Europe, North America and elsewhere have discovered. It may also be the ultimate experience of self-acceptance.

Though nobody's "perfect", we're all perfectly human and quite acceptable just as we really are. A lifetime of ingrained self-consciousness can sometimes evaporate in minutes at Serendipity Park.

Most of us use Serendipity as an anytime getaway from everyday stress, a place to play or unwind, however it pleases at the moment. It is also a wonderful place to meet new and old friends.

At Serendipity you'll meet a cross-section of interesting, fun-loving and humanly conscious people who will accept you as you are, and treat you with friendly respect. Feelings of openness and mutual vulnerability help build interpersonal trust, and provide opportunities for unexpected friendships across individual differences of gender, age, culture, shape, hue, wealth and career.

You'll find Serendipity's overall ambience family-like and non-erotic. The underlying absence of sexual pressure minimizes stress and assures the safety and comfort of everyone, especially children.

Management is responsive to complaints to the contrary, as feedback from members and guests is very helpful in screening out those who would engage in predatory or otherwise inappropriate behavior. Though instances are rare, violations of Serendipity's Guidelines and Sexual Harassment Policy result in expulsion and, if warranted, prosecution of the perpetrator.

Complete nudity and a cleansing shower are expected for use of pool, spa and sauna. People may, and do, wear clothes if the weather cools, the sun burns or whenever it feels personally appropriate.

Nude sports, such as Petanque, Horseshoes or Volleyball, usually present no particular problems, given proper footwear. After all, the original Olympics were performed in the buff to permit unrestricted movement and minimize reaction time.

All of Serendipity's membership, visitor, guest and inquiry files are confidential and for internal use only. All privacy requests are respected.
