"Teaching" on the Love Boat could simply be leading a conversation...

If you’ve lived something that shaped you, changed you, cracked you open, or gave you perspective, you’re welcome to bring that into the 2026 Love Boat. You don’t need to teach a class or have a polished presentation. Sometimes the most powerful thing is simply holding space for an honest conversation. The article invites members of the GoNaked community to apply as volunteer instructors or facilitators for the GoNaked Love Boat, an all-day, clothing-optional Zoom event taking place on Sunday, March 22, from 10am to midnight ET. It emphasizes lived experience over professional credentials and encourages sessions rooted in authenticity, vulnerability, and real-life insight. Examples of potential topics include body image after weight loss, surviving illness, navigating aging, coming out later in life, grief, long-term partnership, addiction recovery, sexuality, creativity, spirituality, health, technology, and personal growth. Sessions typically last 30–60 minutes and take place in themed breakout rooms called Decks. Attendance is free for participants, presenters volunteer their time, and some sessions may be recorded with consent. The article outlines what information applicants should provide and reinforces that the community thrives when people show up fully and honestly.
