Into The Darkness – Shibari Experience

About This Event

Turn out the lights, and let the world disappear.

For this shibari experience, we’ll make the studio as dark as possible, and then we’ll tie.

When you can’t see the rope, you have to feel it. When you can’t watch the movement, you have to pay attention to it.

This is shibari stripped of the visual: an invitation to explore touch, tension, communication and sensation in the dark. Take the opportunity to work on your technique, experiment with sensory deprivation, or simply enjoy the pleasure of not seeing exactly what comes next.
Let your eyes adjust to nothing, and let your hands take over.

Bring your rope. Bring someone you trust. Or come curious and find your way into the darkness.

Format: 

After a slow arrival with lights still on we will all retreat into the tying areas and when everyone has settled, we will be turning the studio into near complete darkness. Then we will be spending two hours tying and playing. Two lifeguards on duty will be available with little flashlights in case of emergency. If someone needs to get out the lifeguard will announce the flashlight usage with a countdown for everyone to close their eyes and when the light is gone again.

All tying levels and backgrounds welcome. For safety reasons we ask participants not to engage in full suspensions.
