Intro to Shibari

Discover the art of Shibari in a supportive, beginner-friendly space.

This progressive, four-part series introduces you to conscious rope connection through a trauma-informed and consent-based approach. Over four evenings, you’ll learn the essentials of rope safety, foundational knots and frictions, clear communication practices, and mindful movement to cultivate trust, connection, and embodied presence.

Whether you join with a partner or come solo, you’ll develop skills step-by-step while exploring Shibari as both creative expression and a tool for nervous system regulation. Sessions are designed for absolute beginners, blending technical instruction with relational awareness so you feel safe, confident, and inspired in your practice.

Wear comfortable, movement-friendly clothing—similar to what you’d wear to yoga—and bring an open mind. Along the way, you’ll connect with others who are curious, kind, and committed to building this art form together.
