Shibari Speed Date (for all levels) - make friends to play with ropes

Hoe leuk is het om meer mensen te leren kennen die ook van Shibari houden, om mee te kunnen oefenen en misschien spelen?

Deze workshop is geschikt als je nog nooit geknoopt hebt of bent geweest.

Deze Shibari Speed Date is voor jou als:
- Je geïnteresseerd bent in Shibari (vastbinden of vastgebonden worden)
- Je meer mensen wilt leren kennen die jouw interesse delen
- Je nieuwe vrienden wilt maken om mee te oefenen of te spelen.

Let wel: de focus van dit evenement is vriendschap.
Iemand vinden om mee uit te gaan zou kunnen, maar is niet de focus.

-----------------------------------------

> Grenzen en verlangens

- Tijdens het hele evenement ben je vrij om deel te nemen door te binden of gebonden te worden (actieve deelname) of om te besluiten om toe te kijken (passieve deelname).
- We moedigen iedereen aan om zijn eigen grenzen te respecteren en zijn verlangens en nieuwsgierigheid te volgen.
- Je kunt deelnemen in je eigen tempo.

-----------------------------------------

This event will be hosted in English or Dutch, depending on the participants.

-----------------------------------------

> What to expect?

During this afternoon you will meet many different participants through short interactions: both talking to each other as well as by tying together. The tying or getting tied will be in a fun and light way, so you can experience how you feel around each other.

Expect fun exercises that are in a group, in trio’s and in duo’s.

You are always free to choose to participate or to skip a round. We want to encourage everyone to respect their own boundaries, and follow their desires and curiosity.

-----------------------------------------

> The program

- Group introduction and a 20 minute intro into Shibari techniques (you will learn to tie some basics on your own body)

- Shibari rope games: each exercise you will tie with several different people, so you have short interactions with different people in the group

- Social break to chat

- Rounds of matchmaking and short freestyle tying

-----------------------------------------

> Atmosphere of the event

This event will be friendly, social and fun. There will be humour and experimentation.

Butterfly makes an effort to be an inclusive facilitator. No matter your age, gender, orientation, body type - everyone is welcome. She understands you might be nervous or excited taking part in a event like this. So at the start of the gathering we will create a social container together, in the group. Usually, people feel really safe and relaxed within the first hour. So even when you're hesitant, come and join us!
