Schvitz with Us. ๐ง๐ฆ๐ฟ Nat'l Shower with a friend day.
Details
Yeah, . . . I know what you are thinking, . . . what an interesting thing as a meetup. But Schvitz is as traditional Jewish as it gets. Its also traditional in lots of other cultures: Russian Banya, Japanese Sento, Korean Jjimjilbang, Balneae in Ancient Rome**,** Hammam in Arabic Turkic language, etc
We are going to do our Schvitz in a Korean Spa If you have never been to a Korean Spa before, . . . keep an open mind and read on, . . . and it will make sense.
For those that want to leap ahead: https://youtu.be/k70xBg8en-4
Come expose yourself to what a traditional Korean Spa is all about and like. It gives space to do it in a safe way for those not familiar who wish to try something new and outside the box. It also gives those who know exactly what Wi Spa is the chance to get in for a $5 discount by going as a group.
Wi Spa is a giant and large Korean Spa. Depending upon how you count it's 5 stories tall. There is a all male and all female bathing floors (these are single sex and nude), and then a CoEd floor called the Jjimjilbang
On the CoEd floor everybody is clothed in shorts and a shirt that the spa provides (in your size). On this Jjimjilbang as it's called, . . there is a main large room where you can lounge. There are solo, couples, families, and even children. It's really a wholesome environment and not sketchy at all.
There are also assorted "theme" or specialty rooms. -
The Salt room, . . .where the walls are made Himalayan salt bricks and the floor is covered with salt pebbles. So you lay down in this dry heat like a human Oysters Rockefeller.
The Clay room, ( a personal favorite) smaller than marble sized clay balls make up the floor that you sink into and lay on, and as you move your back they massage you. Sort of an Ikea ball room crossed with an oven . . .for adults,
The Jade room . . . crystals . . . energy . . . chakras . . . spiritual vibrations, . . . yeah you get the idea if you know all that stuff. I'm a rube, . . . I don't. But is sure is fun.
The Ice room . . . like the inside of a refrigerator. You go from there to the Salt and back to Ice, then to Clay . . . you get the idea.
There is also the Bulgama room, . . . this room I just don't get. It's pretty much a human sized pizza oven. If the other rooms are ovens this is a broiler. I see people in there. I guess it's ok. You can give it a try and tell me how it goes.
Here is how Wi Spa describes it https://www.wispausa.com/our-spa/signature-sauna-rooms/
Now I know what you are saying at this point, . . . and you are VERY skeptical. And you are asking why a meetup at Wi Spa? And why go with us instead of on your own. And if you already have, you will probably be joining us, and if you haven't here is your perfect chance to check it out.
Now this brings us "the treatments" or add-ons. You can book your own add-ons. Such as a Korean body scrub. If you have never had a Korean Body Scrub, . . . I do recommend or bring a scrubby and give yourself one.
If you still want more info . . . try Yelp. You can get lost on the reviews. All are very detailed, and a very unfiltered view.

The one part in all his did soft peddle above was that in the same sex bathing floors . . . you will be all nude. Yes. This is a still not a sketchy event. There is no co-ed nudity. There are shirts and shorts issues for the co-ed floor. We will look like clones or your average prison rec yard.
It's manageable and after a few minutes no big deal. This meetup is not focusing on the being nude part, we will also all be together upstairs -dressed.
In general women get the value of this place and this event. It is guys who need more info, and Here it is Conan . . .

Watch it all then add you comment in the comments on this event.
OK, . . .so for all those wondering how this will work, . . . . Here is what's gonna happen. Here are all the nitty gritty details.
Normal Entry is $40 But if I pay for 10 entries it goes to 35 (so yes I need to outlay for this). **https://www.wispausa.com/product/10-guest-pass-promotion/**
Our first and hard meeting point will be in the lobby to the left in the couch area at the start time!!!!
It means get there a few minutes early. I wont wait in the lobby forever!
Questions: Why not have us pay in advance? Sure, . . . if I was doing this at a profit. However this is at cost. So if I charged you exact then I lose fees. And then there are refunds as well as those that still want to pay on site. Also people cancel and then it's dealing with refunds.

Hopefully this lays most of the issues and resulting fun and cleanliness.
