Do you remember?

 

In the old times, people made use of public baths to clear their body. However, Roman thermae, hammam in the Ottoman Empire or a Japanese sentō did not only serve one

prosaic purpose. Inside their premises, a custom of unhampered conversations was born. They were known to be less official and more honest. Baths, that lasted hours

in an atmosphere of steam and water, became an inseparable part of many developing civilizations. Nevertheless, each one differed with respect to a characteristic ritual of bathing conformed to a certain culture.

​

This is your ritual.

 

Not only the body, but also the soul requires purification. It is needed especially now when the world is overwhelmed with information and interpersonal contacts are dominated

by social media. There is a necessity to create a new ritual, that would purify everyone from the excessive influence of technology. Only after that, it will be possible to truly see another human being.

 

Join us.

 

After the ritual, we become pure - just like humans were created by nature. The feeling of skinship and sensibility is omnipresent. No physical barriers or other unnecessary attractors can confound the moment. Only what matters remains.

 

Shall we talk?
