AWAKENING INTIMACY

SENSUAL SHIBARI

BEGINNERS WEEKEND

30-31 August, Stockholm

A weekend for you who long to learn something new, feel safe, alive and deeply connected, to yourself and others, through creative intimacy

Do you feel the call?

Do you feel the longing to step into your sensual confidence, to return to your body, and feel soft and powerful within your sensual nature?

This course is for you who wants to study the art of ropes as a tool for deeper connection.
Who wants to move in rhythm with others without pressure or performance.
Who wants to learn the art of ropes as a creative language of trust, touch and presence.

This weekend invites you into a tender, playful and deeply transformative journey. Through Sensual Shibari, embodied practices, and the grounding safety of a small group, we come home, to ourselves, to our pleasure, and to each other.

You don’t need to know anything about ropes.
Just bring your body, your curiosity, and a yes to meeting yourself in new ways.

A space for shared growth and connection

This is a course for all genders, a space where we come together to reconnect with our sensual nature, our confidence, and our playfulness.

Through movement, ropes, and presence, we support each other in remembering what it feels like to feel safe, alive, and at home in our bodies.

We practice switching partners and roles throughout the weekend, and gender will not be taken into consideration, so it’s important that you feel comfortable practicing with people of different gender.

Together, we explore what it means to meet another human without judgment or expectation.
To let go of roles.
To listen.
To feel.

If you have any questions about whether this space is for you, you are warmly welcome to reach out.

What is Shibari, and why do we practice it?

Shibari is the Japanese art of rope bondage, classically exploring kink and power dynamics.

Sensual Shibari is a special form of Shibari, inspired by Japanese and western rope bondage, where tantric teachings, sensuality and embodiment holds the deeper layers.

This sensual art is about learning a creative craft for reconnecting to your body’s truth, tenderness and deep relational attunement.
To your boundaries, your desires, your softness, your power.

We use the ropes to slow down, listen, feel.
To rediscover what safety, trust and intimacy mean, within ourselves and in connection with others.

It becomes a gentle language of the body.
A form of communication through tension, surrender, rhythm and touch.
A meditation in motion. A dance between holding and being held.

No experience is needed. Just a longing to come closer to yourself.
