Through history, “bathing” has been intertwined with religious beliefs, spiritual and physical healing, and the wellbeing. From the pools in Jerusalem, to the Japanese baths, all carry a deep meaning that goes beyond pulchritude.
Presentation:
Power point slide presentation, that may include 7 to 10 slides, from which one will show drawings and or sketches, floor plans, etc. and the other will be photos.
