Shibari is an practice of aesthetically binding people with rope, with centuries of history dating from the samurai era of feudalist Japan. Shibari can be practiced with various intentions: meditation on sensuality and connection, practicing vulnerability, exploring dominant and submissive roles, and creating aesthetic body forms. This class will focus on exploring the senses through the process of rope binding. Rope play is heavily focused on touch and feel, and this class will teach you to communicate with your partner by expanding your vocabulary of rope tying, body handling, and physical touch. – Marie Sauvage

My background in design has given me a unique approach to Rope, a constantly evolving blend of Western & Eastern aesthetics & perspectives.” – Read more here
The doors open at 14u00 and close at 14u15, please be on time. Class starts at 14u30 and ends at 18u. Drinks and Snacks will be served during the afternoon.
For the workshop it is best to wear something light and comfortable. When in ropes we advise to wear something figure hugging, this will enable the rigger to position his/her ropes precisely and safely on the body. Please note you are more than welcome to wear anything in which you feel most comfortable.
It is pleasantly warm in our playroom because of the floor heating. The focus during the workshop is on transferring information and ‘learning’ techniques. Please note, this is not an erotic workshop!
This workshop is limited to 7 couples, ensuring an intimate and focused experience for all participants. When we say “couples,” we embrace a wide definition, recognizing that a duo can consist of any two individuals who share a mutual interest in rope tying, regardless of their relationship or gender identity. This is a beginners workshop, no previous experience required.
