Shibari or Kinbaku is a beautiful erotic art of connecting through ropes.
Tantra is an exploration of our consciousness by meditation, breathing and experiencing touch.
During this day workshop we will give you the tools to experience both.
We will create a safe space to explore and expand your boundaries. Both tantra and shibari are without a goal and give room for a conscious exploration of your possibilities.
Being bound will restrict you fysically, but what effect does this have on you on a mental, emotional and spiritual level? Tying somebody is about being creative and present with the other, what will this do for you, can you stay present?
This workshop will let you experience what Tantra & Shibari can do for you in a playful way.
The guiding principle in tantra for all actions in the moment is prana – our neutral and free life energy and this will be our guiding principle during this day.
We will start the day with tantric touch and massage and in the afternoon we will play and learn with Shibari ropes.
Our philosophy behind “Tantra & Shibari”
Shibari or Kinbaku originated in Japan from the martial art Hojo-jutsu, the art of tying prisoners. Since last century it has evolved into an art form that emphasizes on the beauty of tying.
Besides the beauty, Shibari holds many other qualities. One is exploring boundaries in a soft and playful way. By being bound you will face many layers inside yourself both physical and emotional. It is not possible to describe how this feels, only when you experience it you can feel the depth of it.
Shibari can be playful and emotional liberating, it is about being present and total surrender, from deep meditative to healing, from sexy to fun. Always different and surprising. It can be pure passion, but also emotional release.
In tantra it is all about connection to yourself and from there connecting to others.
An important guiding principle of tantra is to say yes to everything, , your yes and your no. You are allowed to feel and explore. Through touch, massage and breathing, energy (prana) will start flowing through your body and this can lead to consciousness. The basis for tantra is equality, building trust, surrender and aimlessness.
Is this workshop for me?
The workshop is for anybody who likes to go on an exploration. You can come with your partner or with a partner for the occasion, also you can come as a threesome. Experience in tantra or shibari is not necessary. We invite you to come as you are and explore and feel expansion and bounderies if they come up.
