Shibari Dive: Greeting shibari

Come to deepen your knowledge of shibari, the Japanese art of emotionally connected tying, from a dojo-trained teacher.

CONTENT: The three hour workshops of the "Shibari Dive"-series focus on deepening your understanding of the fundamental philosophies behind shibari, learning better rope handling and new techniques, while keeping the focus at the core: the rope as a conduit of Ki-energy between the giver and the receiver for creating emotionally connected experiences.

This specific Shibari Dive workshop focuses on the "Greeting Shibari" sequence - a great way to start a shibari session, especially if you're working with someone new. These techniques focus on creating a connection between the giver and the receiver and to get a feel what kind of a mood your rope partner is in, how do they respond to you on a given moment and how deep they are currently in the "rope space".

Each of the Shibari Dive workshops focuses on a DIFFERENT aspect of shibari to deepen your knowledge. You may choose to follow any combination of the workshops or only one of them. Following this workshop is possible without having followed the October and/or November workshops.

PRE-REQUIREMENTS: When coming to the Shibari Dive workshops, you should have attended to my "Shibari Fundamentals Workshop" or obtained otherwise the following technical basics: making a non-collapsing single column tie (preferably Japanese style) and how to keep up consistent tension while tying and untying the rope.

No pre-agreed partner is required. To attend this workshop, you should feel comfortable to swap between the roles of the giver and the receiver during the workshop.

VENUE: The workshop is organised at Casa LoJeMa in Bierbeek, the home of Tantric BDSI and ConSensual - embody your temple.

DATE AND TIME: Wednesday 15 January. The workshop starts at 18:00 sharp. Please aim to arrive 15-20 minutes in advance to land and to have a cup of tea.
