Naked retreats: call of the wild

olter Wild is living proof that our paths in life are not always determined by our upbringing.

He grew up devoutly Mormon in Utah and earned a BSc in Biology from the state university. All very conventional. So how did he end up as a naturist, yoga instructor and Reiki practitioner, organising shamanic retreats in some of the more remote corners of the USA and beyond?

“Even though, early on, I began to rebel against the dogmatic lifestyle I was born into, and find my own way, it took years before I was really able to integrate these parts of myself, “ he explains. “But it always seems to have followed a natural progression. I started teaching yoga in a traditional yoga studio, but within a year or two I was offering nude men’s yoga classes out of my home. I also started offering standard Reiki sessions, but soon after found more powerful and transformational results for my clients and myself with allowance for a more meaningful energy exchange, and started working directly with erotic energy.”
