9 NOV – The Art of Being Seen

A Shibari Workshop on Erotic Vulnerability and Connection

🌻 Open Level – (Price per couple)

1 Day workshop (With Special attention for top and bottom)

Workshop Description

• The Art of Being Seen

  In this one-day workshop, we explore the beauty and intensity of being truly seen — both physically and emotionally.
  Inspired by the Japanese concept Shuuchinawa (羞恥縄) — “the rope of shame” — this approach to Shibari focuses on vulnerability, erotic tension, and emotional exposure.

  Rather than relying on complex ties or suspensions, we explore how rope can become a mirror for emotional connection: how it can heighten arousal, bring forth subtle feelings of surrender, and reveal the power of being witnessed.

  You’ll discover how minimal, intentional rope work can evoke strong emotional responses and deepen trust between partners.
  This workshop is about presence, emotion, and psychological intensity — more about sensation than form.

The workshop

• During this workshop, we’ll explore:

  • The emotional and cultural roots of Shuuchinawa and its Western interpretation

  • Techniques to create feelings of vulnerability and erotic exposure through rope

  • How to guide and read your partner’s emotional and physical reactions

  • Slow, soft rope sessions that emphasize tension, tenderness, and emotional surrender

  • Integrating emotional rope play safely into your own Shibari or Kinbaku practice

  • Combining with hashira, bamboo or ring suspension points (semi-suspension only)

  • Specific techniques for tension, cinching, and weight distribution

  • Transitions and flow between emotional states

  • Safety, aftercare, and communication
