communal shower

A tiled room, usually adjacent to a locker room, but sometimes constituting an open shower area within a locker room, containing multiple showering positions, usually beneath numerous showerheads affixed to the walls at intervals of about every four feet, and one or more floor drains. The showering positions are sometimes situated around a shower pole or a shower column each of which would have between 4 - 6 showerheads affixed around each column. Communal showers are designed so that a large group of people may shower simultaneously so as to save time and avoid delay. Because they do not contain any dividers or shower stalls, communal showers do not permit for any modesty where the users of such a facility would be showering together simultaneously in the nude. Communal showers are usually designed to accomodate between 10 and 40 users simultaneously, and are usually found in institutional settings, such as at a gymnasium, swimming pool, fitness studio, high school, university, professional sporting venue or in a prison. In the United States, communal showers are segregated by gender, but at some facilities in Europe, particularly at a sauna, both genders may shower communally at the same time.

After the swim meet, the entire team would strip out of their wet racing suits in the locker room and then shower together in the nude in the communal shower to rinse off the chlorine from the swimming pool.

Urban Hippie communal

Raised in a communal living environment, in the inner city by a bunch of hippies from tbe 60's
Urban Hippie Communal

I was raised Urban Hippie Communal. We baked our own bread, and we were vegetarians mostly. We wore home made cloths and went to Morning Star . free school were children were a little to free. Gina Star was my mom, but all the kids called her mom. No religion but all religion, mostly

Hari Krishna teachings. We were encouraged to invite the Jehovah Witnesses or Mormons in, if they knock on our door. Engage in debates about the one true God, chosen people or judgments. Absolutely NO t.v But all the music you wanted. independent films and gardening exhibits. Love peace, flowers and oneness❤

Lots of us out there. We are Urban Hippie Communal and now we have Tiny homes.

commuzication

Commuzication actually is the same as communication (the process of exchanging information) with the only difference that exactly musical expressions are taken as the main common system of symbols instead of words. Though some forms of conventional communication such as gestures or eye contact frequently could be used.

The ultimate sample of true commuzication - the CD album of Greg Mathieson, Michael Landau, Abraham Laboriel, Vinnie Colaiuta "LIVE AT THE BAKED POTATO 2000"
