SHIBARI WORKSHOPS
The art of Japanse rope bondage is as exquisite as it is complex. Besides it being often appreciated for it’s aesthetic beauty, it goes much further to me than just pleasing the eye. It is about presence, intention and the delicate dance between vulnerability and trust. It invites both the person tying and the one being tied into a space of heightened awareness - of the body, the breath and each other. It is a practice of listening. Through touch, tension and silence.
Tying became a passion of mine and I’ve spend years exploring different techniques and philosophies before deciding on a Japanese master I wanted to learn from. Since April 2025 I have the honour to call myself a certified shibari teacher by Hajime Kinoko, which means that I will tie and teach in his style moving forward.
Please note that both workshops will be hosted on the same day. It is possible to join both or choose one.
* In case you’re attending both workshops please purchase two separate tickets.
