No prior experience is necessary. This course is designed to meet you where you are, offering a introduction for beginners while still being stumulating for those with more experience of sensual explorations.

Not at all. While Shibari has roots in erotic and kink culture. Apart from the hand craft, this course focuses on the relational and sensual aspects – trust, communication, and connection. You don’t need to identify as “kinky” to enjoy it. Many couples join simply to explore touch, polarity, and creativity in new ways.

It’s about curiosity, not labels.

Yes – Shibari can be a deeply healing practice when approached with clarity, intention, and care.
Throughout the course, you’ll be guided to identify your specific intention for each practice. One of the gifts of Shibari is that it can hold many intentions, from playfulness and intimacy, to healing and emotional release.

If you carry deeper trauma, it’s essential to explore the ropes with a partner who truly understands and respects your intention. When both partners are attuned, when there’s safety, presence, and space for emotions, Shibari can become a powerful tool for reclaiming agency and releasing stored feelings.

However, if one partner is focused mainly on pleasure, or if communication isn’t clear, the experience can instead feel overwhelming or reactivating.

Trust yourself. You know your own pace, and that being clear with your needs is the foundation of the practice.

This is where the creative aspects of Shibari are endless. I’ve tied with people in wheel chairs, without leg mobility, and over 70 years of age.
Yes, there might be some of the invitations in the course where you can’t follow the exact instructions. Does that hinder us from finding our ways?
Maybe you want to be on a chair instead of the ground, or standing up instead of kneeling.
When the longing is there we will find our way.
