Jute forming a circle…

Coil by coil incanting verses on flesh…

Sigils drawn on skin…

Shibari lends itself deeply to the ritualistic - binding, patterns, a slow gradual building of forms and dropping those bound into deep meditative spaces; sadistic rope for catharsis, and more.

Eve X and Sai Lillith are practitioners who embrace these concepts in their private and professional lives, using Shibari and rope bondage for more than just entrapment and exposure. As Infernal Desire Machine, their live rituals captivate and immerse those who Witness, drawing them into the spell.

But what makes up the components of these rituals? And what lies behind the use of rope as a tool?

Join them in this workshop to be able to apply the same concepts that they practice to your own intentional spaces.

NEW TICKETING STRUCTURE TRIAL

We have added a a pay-what-you-can/want ticket - to help support the community and those who may not be able to afford the full price ticket of $80, this is an option where you can pay what you can. There is no upper limit on this ticket, so if you feel like subsidising those who purchase 'lower priced tickets, or giving a little extra to the facilitator to support us, this is your option! 

We believe in both accessibility for the community, as well as making sure our facilitators are paid appropriately for their erotic / intellectual labours, so this is our solution to hold space for both with a minimum of fuss!

  Enjoy this social experiment, and we'd love your feedback.
