I
joined 90+ spa owners, spa educators, therapists, consultants, trade experts,
designers and innovators from the UK, Netherlands, USA, Germany, France, Canada,
Russia, South Africa, Singapore and Australia at the 2nd annual BISA (British
International Spa Association) Conference in Bad Sulza, Germany at the end of
November 2005. There were very interesting topics presented from a variety of industry experts. What I valued most from this conference is the new understanding I developed for the history of spas, the underlying foundation of the healing properties of water, as well as the cultural and medicinal value the Europeans have for spas. | |||||

A
Book by Linda Troeller 
Healing
Waters is a vivid exploration of water therapy all over the world. Linda Troeller's
photographs, taken over a period of ten years, are more symbolic than descriptive;
through a subtle use of color and blurred motion, these images capture the human
form in communion with water, in a state of sublime, often ecstatic, immersion.
From Montecatini, Italy, to the baths of Baden-Baden, Germany, and Beppu, Japan,
Troeller's photographs take the viewer on a wide-ranging and transformative journey.
