Welcome to the shibari workshop where we explore the artistic form of Japanese rope bondage or shibari with a modern European take, focusing on improvisation and equality while following the safer space guidelines of Helsinki Shibari (www.helsinkishibari.com).
The workshop is designed to accommodate participants' wishes, and all exercises are planned and executed following the principles of safe design. We will learn about safety, communication, negotiating and after care through discussions. We have exercises for pairs (or triplets) to explore trust, creativity, positions of power, emotions and physical experiences, as well as to practice some of the rope techniques.
For this workshop we recommend wearing comfortable clothes that are easy to move in. Extra ropes can be borrowed by those who do not have their own. This workshop is beginner-friendly, but only available for those over the age of 18. Sign up for the workshop in advance at the Information Desk. You can sign up alone, with a pair, or in a group.
