Steam Bath Project welcomes each one who visits to share a steam bath experience: a hopeful ritual embodying the possibility of transformation. Visitors are invited to enter the geodesic dome and relax on wooden benches where boiling water produces steam and negative ions that fill the dome. Negative ions are known to cause the overall good feeling we notice after a summer thunderstorm or while feeling the drops from a waterfall. Heat in the steam bath ebbs and flows, and varies from one spot to another within the dome. Almost anyone can find comfort. The steam bath process results in a clean body, improved respiratory function from cleaning playa dustcake boogers from the nasal passages, cleansed pores, a relaxed mental state and community with other steam bathers.
