Happy Birthday to US!

We say "Happy Birthday to US!" Yep, this Saturday we celebrate 9 years of providing folks with "more than a vacation." We've still a few rooms left on Saturday night. Those spending the night will be treated to a great meal. Oh yes, we'll be in our "birthday suits" the whole weekend. BTW, this picture was taken this week - we've been having fantastic sunsets!


If you have been looking for a unique vacation getaway, look no further than Living Waters Spa. We are an award winning spa hotel whose discriminating guests appreciate our "Lexus" service. We have one of the highest repeat guest rates of all the hotels in the Palm Springs / Desert Hot Springs area at 70%.
Living Waters Spa is an elite natural hot water spa resort that offers you a chance to get away, get in touch with life, and rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit.  Here, you'll discover an enhanced level of the small resort / hotel / bed and breakfast experience.
 
Our facility is completely private and "European style" clothing-optional.  You are encouraged to soak in our healing mineral waters au naturel and enjoy this total immersion in nature.  For generations Europeans have visited the "spas" and have sunbathed nude.  We Americans are now realizing how relaxing this "nude recreation" can be.  Swimsuit optional vacations are now becoming common for us and we are discovering what our European friends have known all along -- such simple nudity is total freedom.  We've designed our place to give "first timers" the best clothes free experience possible.  At Living Waters Spa we provide you the coolest vacation souvenir of all: no tan-lines!

December 15 Couples Massage Workshop
In this fun workshop couples will learn how to give a sensuous massage to each other that is good for the giver as well as the receiver.  Various massage techniques and body positioning will be taught to make it an enjoyable session.  This is great for couples looking to grow their abilities to communicate with each other via touch.  No massage experience needed.  The cost is $95 per couple for an evening of fun learning!  You don't have to be spending the night at LWS to attend this but there is a day-use fee of $45 if you are not.  Come and learn some massage!

December 31 - January 1st - New Years Eve Alternative Celebration
Living Waters Spa is the place to be for people wishing an alternative NYE celebration. Here is what we are offering:

Living Waters Clothing-optional Mineral-water Spa Resort

Nudist, naturist, clothing-optional, skinny-dipper, and other terms... to describe the person who enjoys NO CLOTHES on their body and takes every advantage they can to be au naturel.

Here at the Living Waters Clothing-optional Mineral Water Spa Resort we give you that opportunity to do so. You might not use any of those terms to describe yourself but you do know the feeling. We also add one more very cool thing to this experience, pure mineral water pools. Yep, water right up from mother earth that is laden with life giving minerals. We pump from our own private well from the depths of 200 feet directly into our two pools. This water is odor free (unlike some mineral waters) and silky smooth. One guest described it as "Liquid Cotton!" Just let that description sink in... liquid cotton.

So if you'd like to try something new OR try it in a new place. Come for a visit.

At Living Waters you can expect:

Another World…
A Positive Clothing-optional Environment
Soothing Pure Mineral Water
Magical Massage
Unparalleled Pampering
Getting Away from it ALL

Time to Think
Time to read a Book

Why human touch / massage is so powerful

From time to time we've had clients ask us why touch is so powerful. A number of years ago we found an article in Massage & Bodywork that kinda captured the idea of why:

"Human touch is the most sophisticated physical tool in the known universe. We cannot synthesize a material that functions like the skin of the hands, let alone something that operates with the sensitivity, intelligence and motor complexity of the human neuromuscular system through the hands.

Touch is also the only way to bring two energy systems into direct contact with one another. Michelangelo’s image of God’s and Adam’s hands approaching has the enduring power to remind us of the literal sharing of that spark of life.

Every time we lay our hand on the human body with pressure and consciousness, we are uniting the worlds of structure and the worlds of energy in the only possible way for this to be done. Human touch is the only context in the known universe in which there is a simultaneous and conscious contact of both structure and energy." [Massage and Bodywork – January 2004]

We've had people laugh, cry, go into a state of semi-conscousness, release fears, embrace change, feel "reborn", get goosebumps, solve a problem, and enter into a state of bliss... on my table. It is truly an honor to touch another human being with the intent to bless, to heal, to restore, to love - unconditionally.

Erotic Massage Workshop at Living Waters Spa - July 29,30




If you are a monogamous couple interested in learning erotic massage for each other, where do you go? Sure, there are instructional DVDs that might work, but they can be kind of “porn-ish.” You’ve heard of Tantra and it sounds mysterious and sexy but you may not be into new-age spirituality. Terms and concepts such as chakras, meridians, and kundalini awakening can be rather baffling and unfamiliar.


So where does a couple go to expand their relationship, grow closer to each other, and celebrate sensuality in a safe monogamous context? The answer: Living Waters Spa! On July 29 & 30 such a workshop will be held at the desert’s only mineral water, clothing optional spa, Living Waters Spa.


This event is called “Hot Summer Nights – a Summer Valentine for Lovers.” It will be led by owners and massage therapists Jeff and Judy Bowman who have conducted this workshop several times each year since they opened their spa in 2003. “We wanted to create a workshop that we would want to attend, one that would allow us to explore our sensuality in a safe monogamous context and learn some new approaches to our sex life,” says Jeff. “As massage therapists we know the power of touch. As a couple we’ve been together for many years and have worked through many of the issues that block intimacy between a couple. So we’ve put together a weekend workshop that will teach various massage techniques which will give you new tools for the toolbox of intimacy & romance.” "We have designed this weekend to be a sacred experience that is full of sensuality and joy”, said Judy.


The weekend starts on Friday night where couples will learn to give each other a sensuous massage that is as pleasant for the giver as for the receiver. Various massage techniques and body positions will be taught to make it an enjoyable session. This aids the couple to grow in their ability to communicate with their partner via touch. No massage experience needed. Then on Saturday afternoon the “heat is on.” In “Woman’s Hour” the man will focus on his woman. For about 90 minutes Jeff and Judy share erotic bodywork and sensual touch focused on the woman. In the evening the “Man’s Hour” is held where the woman will focus on her man.


During all sessions Jeff and Judy describe and demonstrate on each other the intimate massage and erotic bodywork exercises while instructing the couples as they work on their own partners. “We don’t know of another workshop like this,” say Jeff and Judy, “where couples can learn specific massage exercises that they may have never tried before, where they can discuss aspects of sexuality that are often left unsaid or only in the pages of Cosmo!” “In prior workshops we’ve had couples of all ages, and as you know, sexuality is far different for a twenty-something couple compared to a sixty-something couple. But as people open up and share during the weekend many wonderful ideas are discovered by all. Some couples have expressed concern regarding the presence of other people in the same room. We can tell you that while there are other couples (limited to 8) you are so concentrated on your partner that the rest are blocked out.”


A note: access to Living Waters Spa is restricted during Hot Summer Nights to those participating in the workshop.


Living Waters Spa is a European-style clothing optional natural spring water spa resort that has been featured in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, USA Today, EllenDegeneres.com, the Washington Post and the spa is currently top rated on TripAdvisor.com. It offers its guests a chance to get away, get in touch with life, and rejuvenate mind, body, and spirit. Hot mineral water has been sought out by health enthusiasts the world over and Europeans have gone to the hot baths since ancient days. The mineral water found at Living Waters is odorless, tasteless, and colorless.


The cost of “Hot Summer Nights” is $395.00 per couple plus room rates. LivingWatersSpa.com will provide you with more information or you can call Living Waters Spa at: 760-329-9988.
