From gentle to demanding. In this 6-hour workshop, you set out on an intense journey through the many facets of Shibari. You will experience that emotional tying does not have to be soft and cuddly but can also be subtly demanding. Depending on Ukete’s needs, sadistic elements may be included and consciously addressed.
What to expect
We start with empathetic techniques and progress step by step to Semenawa (restrictive and pain-inducing rope). The ties are deliberately kept simple so that they can unfold their intense effect. The focus is less on perfect patterns than on the playful encounter between Shibarite and Ukete.
Emotional and psychological aspects
A central theme is understanding the emotional and psychological effect of the ties. We explore how different techniques affect Ukete and how Shibarite responds. You will learn simple, effective ways to respond to Ukete’s reactions and make your shared rope time even more intense.
What you take home
By the end, you will understand the emotional range of tying better and be able to put it into practice: from gentle to demanding, from playful to profound. You take home techniques that are technically accessible and emotionally intense, and expand your creative and interpersonal scope in Shibari.
Who it is for
