Contact improv jams with great energy are fun and liberating. How to complement and add to these? They open avenues to exploring new possibilities around movement and physical contact. They are very very creative, inspiring, and opening. There's a good jam happening in Fairfax, California. A significant number of the women participating last night were smiling {beaming} and very happy. Is this due to dance and physical contact that feels safe?

In addition to the 'Harbin Hot Springs' Statement of Consciousness,' {here consciousness refers to intention} here's other literature I found in the Harbin office about what Harbin is and what it offers:

Harbin Hot Springs: Watsu, Massage, Spa Treatments
Rated one of the ten most outstanding places to receive a massage in the U.S.A.

discover our difference
Massage and other health treatments available at Harbin focus on touch from a place of love and respect. This distinction brings a dimension and purpose to each and every treatment...one that you will rarely find at a typical spa or resort.
We offer a variety of modalities, including Swedish, Deep Tissue, Foot Reflexology, Shiatsu, Cranio-Sacral Balancing, Chiropractic, and Harbin's own Watsu (water shiatsu) in our warm pools.
Additional services often include Lymphatic Massage, Thai Massage, La Stone Therapy, Aromatherapy, Amanae, Energy Work, Wraps, Scrubs, Face Treatments, and more.
You may stay overnight as a guest, or choose an affordable day pass. Either option includes use of our natural spring-fed pools, clothing-optional sundecks, sauna, trails, and more. “massage-only” visits – including soak time – are also available. Call ahead for details and appointments.

Sierra Hot Springs and the Historic GLOBE HOTEL
Sierra Hot Springs
and the Historic GLOBE HOTEL
Bordering the Tahoe National Forest
Sierra Hot Springs is located at the cusp of an enchanted forest and a beautiful alpine valley. Here, it is impossible to resist the overwhelming sense of tranquility. For centuries, Native Americans have regarded this land as a sacred healing place. The water here is as smooth as silk and the pools are a true experience. For almost 150 years, this land has hosted popular hot springs resorts. With the last several years, two of the springs have been beautifully redeveloped.
The Medicine Bath is outdoors, it has a sand bottom and is surrounded by rock tile. Amidst the tall pine trees and in the meadow, this seasonal hot pool is ideal for enjoying the star-studded skies. The Temple Dome and Pools are magnificent. The Hot Pool is enclosed in a large geodesic dome, featuring stained glass and skylights. This pool is sand-bottomed, with mosaic tile sides. The Phoenix Baths are in private rooms, and the warm spring water is drained and refilled between users. Body acceptance is a key component of Sierra Hot Springs, therefore all of our pools are clothing-optional. We have 700 acres bordering National Forest land, so biking and hiking possibilities abound. During winter, cross-country skiing is another attraction, and our location is less than one hour from major Tahoe ski resorts. To fully complete your healing experience, be sure to schedule a massage or Watsu ® with one of our certified practitioners. Please inquire about other available health services and programs.
Our overnight guests have their choice of staying in European-style private rooms or the dormitory at the charming Main Lodge by the Springs, or at the elegant and historic Globe Hotel in nearby Sierraville. There is also plenty of space for tent campers or RVs (no hookups). We welcome day-visitors as well. Our kitchen is directed by an award-winning vegetarian chef, and the food must be tasted to be believed. We serve buffet-style dinners seven days a week (during winter months, Fri., Sat., and Sun. only).
On weekends and holidays, brunch is also served. In addition, there is a guest kitchen available to prepare your own meals. Well-behaved children are welcome at Sierra Hot Springs, including all accommodations. They must be accompanied and supervised by an adult at all times. There are specific times for them at the pools.
Sierra Hot Springs is a membership retreat center. At least one person in your party must hold a current membership. Membership fees do not include use of the facilities. Sierra Hot Springs and Harbin Hot Springs are sister retreats and honor each other's memberships.
Membership Rates:
$10 – 1 month
