Shibari Self Tie Soirée (SENSUAL EDITION)

In an intimate and safe setting, we will learn how to use rope as a sensual self exploration practice. Noana will guide you through the process of using rope on your own body and explain some of the basic technical aspects necessary to start tying yourself on the floor. The techniques taught will be geared towards a sensual setting, so more focus on ties that heighten the feeling of eros (eg positions that open the pelvic area, hair ties, rope accents on the chest). Then, we will go into a deep collective self tying session together, because the real magic lies not just in the techniques, but in the full embodied experience.

This evening is not just a workshop, it is a soirée that tickles all of the senses (touch, taste, smell), a journey through our bodies, a doorway into our sensuality, into love. Let yourself be surprised!

- Wear something that is tight fitting. Lingerie/underwear is also welcome if that feels comfortable and you would rather experience the rope directly on your skin.
- This event is for women and non-binary people only.
- All ages are welcome.
- The workshop will be hosted in English or Dutch dependent on the participants' preferred language, but Noana speaks both so translation is always possible!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐛𝐚𝐫𝐢?

Shibari is a Japanese form of bondage art, which involves the intricate and artistic tying of ropes around the body. Shibari has the ability to put both rigger and receiver in deeply meditative states.

Shibari is full of beautiful paradoxes. Although the body is tied, the mind is freed up and becomes still. Where there is a discomfort present on the skin, there is also the opportunity for deep acceptance.

Noana is a Shibari artist from Amsterdam who emphasises the healing capacity and ritualistic nature of Shibari in her work. To her, rope is a way to connect the spiritual realms to the deep, earthy realms of the body. She has extensively used self tying on her own path to self love and wants to share what she has learned with a wider audience.
