...at lunch (wonderful vegetarian food) I caught up with J, now wearing a long thin dress, clearly with nothing much underneath, and thanked her for 'forcing' me through my little ordeal. "Don't mention it" she said, "I only wore a swimsuit yesterday, as it looked like that was going to be the 'norm' for the guests, this week".
Apparently, clothes optional swimming at CR can depend on the mindset of the guests, some weeks, nobody strips off...well, at least until the final night party! Then pretty much everyone skinny dips!
"It's nice to be able to decide wether to be naked or not, what we at HAI call 'at choice'.
"What's HAI?" says I, "do you get naked there too?". "Up to you, but it's not about nudity, it's about ones attitude to relationships and sensuality". "is it a club for swingers or a personal development" says I rather flippantly. "Oh, there is no actual sex" says J, "but it teaches you a lot about yourself, hopefully like the course we start this afternoon!". "I'll tell you more about it later, if you are interested".
With that, I embarked on a golden week of self discovery...tbc.
