Maybel Ovalles is a poet, immigrant, and the creative force behind many Just Naked happenings. She hosts our popular Poetry Open Mic and Movement & Connection events and will offer a few new events in the coming months. Just Naked would not have grown so quickly without the support of her and her husband Anthony, who generously donated their home (Residencia www.residencia.studio) to us for these and other Just Naked experiments in social nakedness. They are opening a naked camp in Zipolite Mexico in February 2020 (www.camp.is), the heart of a growing nudist movement in Mexico. In this podcast, we discuss nudity and climate change, the psychology of excess, furthering nakedness through poetry, and many other topics. You can reach Maybel directly at [email protected].
