Shibari: Sensual connection through rope (workshop)

What's it all about?

Ever had a fantasy about being tied up or tying someone up? Keen to explore a different kind of sensation and texture in sensual play? Curious about power dynamics in a safe and respectful context? Shibari: Sensual connection through rope is a workshop that allows you to do just that.

What can you expect?

In this experience, individuals work in pairs to learn different ways of tying others, but also exploring the emotional and psychological intimacy that comes from allowing and surrendering to another in the space. Trust and vulnerability are constantly at play as we dance between the lines of giving and receiving, holding and being held, tying and being tied.

This is a great way to explore deeper intimacy with another; partner or friend. Sensual connection does not necessarily mean sexual and the experience can be just as rich and deep. We encourage you to come along with an open mind and keen curiosity to learn this beautiful art that can give you a heightened sensory experience and allow deep embodied relaxation.

What kind of people come?

All kinds; singles, couples, friends, lovers, first dates. As rope sits on the outskirts of society, it is a real mix of those wanting to explore. Many come with different reasons; some to have better sex, others for deeper intimacy, some to explore D/S elements, others just to meet like-minded curious people. Whatever your reasons, these tools can allow you much deeper and connected intimacy.

Who will be teaching?

Lucky2Bind began practicing shibari and kinbaku in Italy since 2014. His style is influenced by Italian rigger Wildties and from attending rope workshops in Australia including Avalon, Nawashi Kanna, and Erotic Living. When teaching, Lucky2Bind's emphasis is on helping other riggers to create an emotional connection with their partners; rope is a medium to explore intimacy and trust in ways that society doesn't often make space for.
