Emotional Intimacy in Shibari and Tantra

Connection and Conscious Sexuality

Tantra Shibari; Nederlandse tekst onderaan

On October 11 and 12, we are hosting a Tantra Shibari weekend for beginners.

• Tantric love is about intimacy, mindfulness, and a celebration of the sensuality of the human body.
• Shibari, often referred to as the “art of rope bondage”, is a captivating and centuries-old Japanese practice that combines sensuality and artistic expression.

What is Tantra?

So Tantra is the process of liberation from all bondages. It includes various rituals, techniques and philosophies designed to expand consciousness and embrace the divine in all aspects of life. Many religions exclude the body and sexuality. Tantra, on the other hand, encompasses everything and fuses spirituality with sacred sexuality.

Origin and history of Tantra:

Tantra is more than 5,000 years old and originated in ancient India. It is a spiritual and philosophical practice that stems from the branch of Tantra Yoga. The verb *tan* means “to expand” and *tra* means “to liberate.”

This workshop is for

• Love couples and occasional couples who would like to learn to connect with tantra and shibari (rope) on the intimacy level as well as on the erotic level, seeking connection, deepening, inspiration or broadening.
• In this workshop you will only work with your own partner.
• For those who want to be together in love and truth within a safe environment.
• Warm and clear within the security of each other and the group.
• This workshop is challenging, safe, connecting and adventurous.
• This challenging adventure will bring you together in connection and energy from a safe place where nothing has to happen.

You need this realistic mindset

• In this tantra shibari workshop, you can experience a range of emotions; fantastic, exciting, painful or ecstatic, it’s all possible.
• Ultimately, you can only encounter yourself in all the emotions and connections that life has to offer.
• This allows me to be present “in the here and now” on the spot, out of contact with my own body, vulnerability and truthfulness.
• This makes me experience the mystery, the full power of life and love, my self-confidence, responsibility and creative potential.
• I bring myself in. I am ready for this. I am now making the conscious choice to experience and celebrate this!

The workshop

• We will teach you the fundamental knots and techniques of shibari, the Japanese art of shibari bondage.
• We will use tantra exercises and actions to connect you, to each other and to the ropes.
• We learn to bind someone with rope and with emotions.
• We do this with rope, breathing techniques, touch, physical and mental connection, specific knots, flowing movements and intentional actions with body and rope.
• You will get to know yourself and each other in a profound way through building trust , giving and receiving, consent, communication techniques and safety aspects of bondage.
  The workshop can help you develop better body awareness and connection with your partner.
  You will discover how to integrate the principles of tantra into your bondage techniques, such as breathing and energy exchange.
