“I went home with such an immense energy in me after The Füde Experience. I feel transformed by how profoundly easy it felt to connect while in that space. It stands to be a beautiful reminder that the warmth and love that we all felt within the experience extends far before and beyond. We all have so much love and yearning to connect and express in our hearts. That's the great thing about the füde experience - it brings in humans like that.”

“Füde has completely transformed my life. I was terrified at first to be so vulnerable, both with my body and with sharing the story of my life. I have found such a nourishing and authentic community, and have stepped into a braver and more radical version of myself because of it. The food is exquisite and energizing, the programming—breathwork, meditation, sound healing, art making—is so thoughtful and expansive, and Charlie’s vision as a creator and curator has given all of us a reason to celebrate our bodies and each other. Truly delicious.“

“When I was invited by Charlie to a nude fude dinner party I had no idea what to expect. Was I ready to bare it all in a room full of strangers? Definitely not. But the moment I entered the space, I knew it was safe and welcoming. A feast was laid out made with love and care. I've never felt more conscious of being in my skin and the way I move in it. I left with gratitude and the acknowledgment that all bodies are beautiful.”

“Charlie is an inspiration and being in her presence and at her gatherings makes me feel so empowered, comfortable and safe. i'm so grateful to have been welcomed into the Füde family ~ exactly as i am
(in the nude)”
- Lihi
Los Angeles
“The Fude experience was magic. We enjoyed dinner with each other naked, and vulnerable and completely open. We shared our most beautiful, heavy and liberating truths. We danced, breathed, listened, enjoyed delicious food, and held space for one another to just be, with no judgement. I've been feeling so disconnected from women for years and tonight proved just how desperately we all need one another. And how open we are to that feeling even if it proves to be difficult at times. We need to feel seen. Gently held. Understood. I'm so grateful. My heart is so full. By the end of the night it felt strange to put on clothes after feeling so free in front of everyone in your rawest form. I'm in absolute awe! So grateful for the immense connection that was experienced and witnessed tonight. Untethering from fear, expectations of others and myself, and all that limits me from being my absolute best and reciprocative self day to day. “

“When you go to a nude dinner it's not what you'd expect. It was an evening full of raw vulnerability, deep conversations and incredible vegan food and I highly recommend it. Thank you for putting this beautiful dinner with beautiful souls together for a night of healing and loving conversations with nourishing food.”

“Charlie is a true and ethereal force. The experiences she creates with The Füde Experience are revolutionary, tender, kind, and joyous–– honouring the body in its most natural form, freedom, and a community of people gathering for a shared purpose of connection and liberation. The plant based foods she conjures are so carefully thought out, and you can taste her intention and love for nourishment in every bite! Her foods are delicious, and exhibit a myriad of exciting flavours, herbs and textures. Combining nudity with Fude is such a transformative and regenerative experience, especially when these two realms are so often pushed apart. Charlie creates such a kind and safe space, making sure that everyone is comfortable and welcome in her wonderful world. She radiates joy and wonder and is a force to be reckoned with. Safe spaces are so important– especially for women– and Charlie is sure to honour this. I cannot recommend this experience enough, and it was such a delight to be part of this and share some of my magick with Charlie’s wonder.”

“Such an amazing experience connecting with likeminded individuals and being vulnerable in a safe place filled with warmth.
Its truly a night to remember.
A night filled with laughing, sound baths, speaking openly,
meditation,
and the best food for your soul!”
- Tess
Los Angeles
“Untethering fude dinner: a magical nude evening immersed in sisterhood and food - exploring raw and real, vulnerable experiences & holding space with intentional connections. We danced. We did breathwork. We connected from soul to soul through the deepest parts of ourselves, stripped down to the core and tapping into the infinite beauty within. Because everything you need is there. Operation: oneness & freedom. With my highest heart of gratitude--thank you.
I see you. I hear you. I love you. We are One.”

“I felt empowered and incredibly comfortable on my own skin. Seeing other women move, breathe, celebrating our most pure selves was liberating and magical - This was a transformative experience of purity and human connection.- Thank you Charlie for inviting me to lead the most pure breathwork session I've ever facilitated and for pushing the boundaries towards liberation.”

“Endless gratitude to Charlie for this incomparable experience. Truly the most kind and gracious host emanating a quality that makes one feel most comfortable at the most vulnerable. And thank you to all involved in creating this beautiful container for us to come undone and emerge anew.”

“The Fude experience was surprising and freeing. It gave me so much permission to be okay with being naked or seeing others naked while still able to have a normal conversation. It oddly helped me decouple sex and nudity. I feel like there aren’t as many spaces for men to explore this type of healing. I now feel okay with my body and being nude.”
- Jackson
Los Angeles
“Although I am not vegan, I find it to be the best food to pair with spiritual work and it's certainly my favorite food for a nude dinner party~now I know. It's wonderful to feel nourished by high vibrational foods prepared intentionally in this setting. Thank you so much The Füde Experience, Chef Tara Thomas, Charlie Ann Max.”

“Füde Charlie and Lihi - Thank You for your grace and humanity. The most magical night was spent speaking from the depths of our naked souls. There is a consensus in the air that we are gonna be alright.”

“So thankful to Charlie and The Füde Experience for a lovely dining experience that was a celebration of ourselves. I loved meeting new people that all shared the same sentiments and openness to just being free.”
- Phyllicia

“The precious few hours of receiving each other exactly as we were, offering the same safety that we’d been given all evening long was truly transformative. An unspoken understanding of our shared bravery palpably filled the room, reginiting after each and every personal anecdote. There was no agenda or motive, just a deep desire for true connection. At around 11pm, we said our goodbyes and I’ve never been so unhappy to get dressed in all my life. Thank you to Charlie and Cosi. I’m forever grateful that you do what you do. And if I’m ever in LA, save me a seat.”
- Rosa

“ The most beautiful evening at The Füde Experience. I really felt I could call my body home and I’m living it to every inch. Thank you for all the beautiful souls. Charlie is truly a magical angel, beyond grateful to have met you.”
- Yasmine
London
“How can something so precious and natural like skin be considered grotesque? We are taught to hide, to be ashamed of ourselves. It’s about time to embrace our nature, our bodies, and be free. I was lucky enough to live The Füde experience : An untethering gathering where the power of food, femininity, art and nature liberates the soul and the body. It was because of Charlie Ann Max’s art that I decided to bring my project a step further into the realms of art, self love, and sharing. I am thankful.”

“Truly a blessing to be apart of this evening, communitity, and space. Charlie brought vulnerability, vegan food, the laws of attraction, and our essential selves to the desert and it was truly therapy. Lucia bringing us to our highest vibration through magnetism work and meditation. Thank you all for coming and sharing. I turly love and adore you all so much.”

“Thnxx you so much for such a great experience that has changed my outlook on many things in the most fantastic way. I wouldn't change anything about the dinner I just hope we get to have more experiences like this in New York would love to join another FUDE experience My next untethering is confirming my worth, knowing when to say no, knowing what is right & wrong for me instead of allowing things to by pass that don't make me happy. Thnxx for helping me with this journey!”

“Thanks so much for the incredible evening – it was so much more than I could have imagined and I feel like it is a huge part of my journey to self-love/acceptance. I left feeling absolutely buoyed and a strange combined sense of calm, vulnerable, but indestructible – this feeling has carried over into the days following too.”

“I gifted myself The Füde Experience after admiring Charlie’s beautiful work for a while. Having been on a long, arduous journey with my body, this was really a way of showing myself how far I've come. Going to dinner with complete strangers and having nothing to hide behind would have been my biggest fear even this time last year. Last night was still pretty scary, but as soon as I arrived and settled it felt like the most natural thing in the world….. because guess what! It is! We reflected on how funny it is that we feel so much shame around our bodies, how they have been sexualised and how (in England especially) the only time we are naked is when no-one else is around or in a sexual way. In recent weeks my world has revolved around goodbyes, closures, and a lot of witnessing and surrendering to uncomfortable pain. To me, this symbolised new beginnings, and a new relationship with the human form. It was an initiation into doing things that incite my curiosity - however scary that may feel. Thank you to Charlie Moult for guiding us through letting go using our breath, Cosis Odyssey for hosting the beautiful discussion and life drawing, Anissa Kermiche for the amazing table scape and necklaces & Charlie for the delicious food and most wonderful evening.”

“I grew up being able to roam naked on the beach or around the house up until I was about 3. Then I had to wear a bottom piece until I was about 9. Then it was a one piece swimsuit at the beach, or a bikini. And before I could even remember learning any of it, I had built strong associations with nudity: Private. €rOtic. POrnogr@phic. Dangerous. Inappropriate. Attention seeking. Shocking. Offensive. Disgusting. So there I was, accommodating to others' views about my naked grown body before I could even develop my own. Without consciously choosing, I just learned that keeping my body private was what any respectable person is supposed to do. Fast fwd to last Sunday, where I took part in The Füde Experience created by Charlie Ann Max and co hosted with Cosis Odyssey, which provided the perfect setting for me to deep dive into what nudity actually means, and feels like, to ME.”

“What a blessing to be able to sit in ceremony with 29 others for The Füde Experiecne doing breath work and eating a vegan meal in the nude. Still processing my experience, but from what I observe so far, my biggest challenge was not in being nude socially~ it was simply in navigating my own feelings of being part of a group. I'm always challenged this way at gatherings and perhaps certain aspects of social dynamics were heightened by nudity (the neighbor lacking body space awareness became amplified, for example,) but otherwise I don't think I felt any more anxious being with others in a nude space. In fact, as someone who does experience social anxiety, I was surprised at my grounded calm energy during the 3 hour experience. I appreciated so many of the exercises we did, which opened our collective to feeling very safe and de-sexualized. Prior to going, my family members said~ oh I remember parties like that in the 70s and they turned into orgies~ and ~ that sounds so Eyes Wide Shut. Neither of those references rang true and I felt safe to be any which way I felt during the ceremonial meal, while constantly reminding myself internally to stay in my own vibration. Senses and emotions may be heightened in healing circles and nudity does certainly add another dimension to that since we are not socialized nude. Being on the other side, I love that I can challenge myself and emerge surprised. Grateful to Charlie Ann Max and all the collaborators of The Füde Experience.”
