Embracing Surrender:
A Weekend Journey into Shibari
We’re here to guide you.
DAY 1
Our three-day Intimate Leadership & Empowered Surrender: a Shibari Intensive starts with a captivating shibari performance, known as a "rope opera," featuring an experienced model. We'll then introduce ourselves, set intentions for the workshop, and end with an intriguing exercise to spark curiosity.
DAY 2
On Saturday morning, we'll dive deep into the critical aspects of consent, safety, and communication essential for any shibari or BDSM scene. Without these elements, neither safety nor enjoyment for you or your partner is guaranteed. We're committed to thorough training, ensuring you become a confident and trustworthy leader and a receptive, communicative partner.
After mastering these fundamentals, we'll spend the day practicing beginner shibari techniques. Lunch will provide an opportunity to discuss cognitive concepts such as energy exchange, provocation, and vulnerability. Dinner will conclude with reflections, Q&A, and an optional social activity, offering a chance to unwind after intense training.
Remember to take breaks and stay hydrated. Just like yoga, shibari is your personal practice, so prioritize self-care throughout.
Sunday begins with a brief shibari exercise focused on learning to provide aftercare as both the giver and receiver. We will also explore techniques for integration of peak experiences, so that the emotional portal you open through ropes remains accessible during your future explorations. We will close with reflections over shared lunch.
