Here in So. Cal. there is a great morning show hosted by "Mark and Brian" on 95.5 KLOS. These guys are a couple of wacky DJs whose show runs from 6:00am to 10:am Monday thru Friday. The show is syndicated and reaches many distant cities. I LOVE THE SHOW... However,
In typical comedic fashion, they poke fun at being naked. This isn't bad, it is just the typical concept that we Americans have about simple nudity. The other thing they do is associate nudity with sex...
They just concluded a interesting program where they broadcasted from Hedonism in Jamaica.
In typical "girls gone wild" fashion they discussed all the sexual aspects of Hedo (as it is frequently called) and the nudity there. While I'm not against sex, I just find that this association of sex with clothes free vacationing extreemly limited AND it fosters the American belief that nude=sex or nude=lewd.
Imagine if we could get Mark and Brian to do a show here at Living Waters Spa... sure it would be funny with all the stereotypes and all BUT I think we could show them (no pun intended) that simple nudity has much more than sex going for it...
Here is a list of things that we've learned:
§ Deepening of Relationships. A frequent result of a clothing optional experience is that of a deepening relationship with your loved one. Simply trying a new experience together often creates a breakthrough and growth in the relationship -- especially when one or the other has been reluctant. We've also noticed that the reluctant one then becomes the one who can't wait to repeat the Living Waters Spa experience!
§ Body / Self Acceptance. Our culture has been brain washed by the Madison Avenue fashion experts who tell us in picture and words what a “perfect” body is like. How many times have you looked in the mirror and thought disparagingly about your body? Not enough muscle, undefined abs, too little breast, wide hips, or not enough hair, and so it goes. This experience puts you in touch with your body and you see that others are “just like you.” Plus, you realize that the “super models” in life are really not that pretty nude and the magazine “centerfolds” are definitely airbrushed. Bottom line: you realize it doesn’t matter what you look like.
§ Body Demystification. We all have a natural curiosity about the body. In the safe environment of Living Waters Spa the body is allowed to be seen and thus demystified. You see what the clothes are covering. The healthy discovery is made that bodies are similar and at the same time different. People are just like you.
§ People Acceptance. Once people are naked equality takes over. You no longer judge or assess the value of a person by what they wear.
§ Creation Awareness. When we go through life we seldom take “time to smell the roses.” Being in a social nude environment (especially for the first time) causes us to become in touch with the surroundings. People never forget the first time they feel the air and sun on their entire body. The sensation of “being alive” is heightened and the awareness of the world around is enhanced.
§ Communication Expansion. There is something about being in a social setting with other naked people. It might be around the pool, in the hot tub, or even under the sunny sky. But regardless of the context, discussions happen – about all topics too! They occur more frequently and with far more ease than in a clothed environment. You may or may not like to talk to others, but a common exclamation made by those who visit Living Waters Spa is how friendly the others are.
So Mark and Brian -- how about it? Get nekkid and learn more about yourselves than sex! Give us a call and we'll make it happen! 760-329-9988

Next Generation Discount
One of the great challenges in life is to get the money you need to do the things you want...
Judy and I realized that the price point of our spa was beyond the means of many 20 somethings. We regularly have folks from 18 to 80 and in discussions with the younger folks we learned that they had spend many weeks saving (or using their already maxed credit card) to come to Living Waters Spa.
After doing some analysis (which I love), we realized that we needed to do a "reverse" senior discount... So the concept of our "Next Generation" discount was born. We give a very serious (you'll have to call us to learn how much!) discount on our room rates if the person / couple is 29 and under.
Needless to say it has been a real hit with our guests who fit that age group.
Heck I remember when we were in that age bracket (...way back in the day) and we hardly had any money to go to McDonalds, let alone a wonderful spa like Living Waters.
If we expect our clothing optional philosophy to grow in America, we who own such spas, hotels, nudist clubs and resorts, etc. need to step up and help the next generation to experience the joy of "clothes free" experiences. We are seeing that by offering a substantial discount we are able to introduce this next generation to the ol' fashion "skinny-dipping."
The Living Waters Spa experience is about our passion to share the joys of simple nudity with others.
Give us a call if you are 29 or less and we'll help you have the Living Waters Spa experience. 760-329-9988.

No Snow Here
We get guests from all over the country and at this time of the year many folks are wishing they could be here in the desert of Palm Springs. Check out this wintery mess from an email I got from a guest:
"Have you heard about the weather around here? Jeez. It's been terrible since we've been back! The Friday before last it started raining - pouring. (In February in Iowa!). It thundered a lot, rained, and rained, and rained. Of course, it was raining because for awhile it was above 32. However, that didn't last, so then there were slushballs falling from the sky, sleet, etc. Then it rapidly froze. There was about an inch of ice on everything. Twigs and limbs were snapping, some ice was falling off in chunks and landing on the roof all nights. Big limbs were hanging down, almost touching the ground. Power poles snapped off like matchsticks and thousands were without power. Fortunately we did not lose power. This lasted through the night on Saturday. This was supposed to be followed by a huge blizzard on Sunday, but when we woke up, everything was starting to melt. Some people were without power for over a week. And then this last weekend, there was more sleet and snow and very high winds. We didn't get the blizzard that the western part of the state got, about a foot of snow, but we got about six inches and it was blowing all over the place. Many, many roads were closed - and the two major interstates that cross the state were closed. It's been wild! Needless to say, the state is full of people who are losing their minds because they're READY FOR SPRING!That is probably more than you care to know, but I thought you both might like to know what you're missing..."
Judy and I lived in cold country for 17 years. Needless to say, WE LOVE THE DESERT!

All sizes and shapes
Almost daily we have "first timers" to public skinny-dipping at Living Waters Spa. We got this email:
"On Sunday when there were a lot of folks at the spa for 3:30 wine and snacks, D--- saw that people are people and come in all shapes and sizes. She says that she just may get nude this summer..."
As Americans we typically only see nudity in the form of actors/actresses who are specifically chosen to be nude. What we don't see are REGULAR people - folks that have normal bodies. When people come to our spa they see "regular" people just like them. When that happens there is often a new awarness that helps in self acceptance.
Judy is a breast cancer survivor. At 38 cancer was discovered in her right breast. Her cancer was removed - breast and all - reconstruction and chemotherapy. She is a survivor and I'm proud of her!
At the spa our guests learn that beauty starts from the inside and that everybody has physical issues they must learn to accept. Seeing others who are "like you" helps...

Welcome to OUR Blog
Hi we are Jeff and Judy and we've created Living Waters Spa.
We have created a very cool place where folks can enjoy "skinny-dipping" in pure hot mineral water, get amazing massages, facials, body waxings, and other spa treatments.
We opened our doors in 2003 and have had guests from all over the US, Canada, and Europe. Most of our guests have never tried a bathing suit optional (also called by other terms such as clothing optional, nude, nudist, naturist or skinning dipping) vacation. But once they do, they have the most amazing experiences of their life.
We welcome you to come and experience what our European friends have known all along - nothing beats swimming naked in pure mineral water!
Check out our main website: www.LivingWatersSpa.com for more information.
We are a true spa and welcome all good people: singles or couples. We are a safe place and protect the privacy of our guests.
