One of
the few pleasures at the recovery center is the group sauna.

The banya
is the Russian concept of a communal bath/sauna shared in the
spirit of camaraderie.
|
| |
|
|
Once a
week, the ritual of the banya takes up a large portion
of the day.

The bath
times for men and women are separate.

During
a moment of playfulness, banya participants engage in a
water fight.
