We will begin the evening with breath work and a community connection exercise before diving into everything you need to know about your journey into Shibari!
1. Communication and Consent - We cannot emphasize ENOUGH the importance of communication and checking in not only with your partner, but also with yourself. Shibari is an incredible practice where we will be learning how to effectively speak and actively listen to make sure we receive the most benefit of this work. If you are having issues communicating in your relationships, this is a really great stepping stone to begin conscious communication. Also, everyone here should feel empowered to express boundaries and preferences. Consent is top tier in this container and in any intimate setting. We want to honor each others boundaries and concerns, otherwise, this doesnt work. So come with an open mind and a willingness to speak up and stand in your power (on both sides, top or bottom)!
2. Rope and Rope Safety - Learn about different types of rope (jute, hemp, cotton, synthetic) and which rope to use and when. We will talk about conditioning and rope care. Also learn the importance of having shears available in case of emergencies.We will be discussing anatomy, pressure points, safe areas and health contraindications. As well as importance of skin safety, circulation, and all of the physical and psychological factors that can play a role in the integrity and discernment of practicing Shibari. We will then go into basic knots and techniques. Connecting with the rope, with self, and with our partner. We will learn single column ties, double column ties, folding rope, connecting two pieces of rope, rope handling and rope flow.
3. Demonstration and Practice (deep connection exercise) - Tying basic knots and ties, explaining the purpose of the placement. This part of the evening is where we will really put our trust, surrender, communication, and consent into action. Connecting deeply with your partner or with yourself, connecting deeply to the breath and feeling into the experience of this process. Accessing body, mind, and spirit. We will continue with hands on guidance while we connect, trust, surrender, and release. In this process we will be very mindful and conscious of those around us as we all will receive something different from this process. Allow yourself to go wherever you need to go here, whether you are tying or the one being tied, it is important to recognize what is coming up. This is a very vulnerable, loving, and deep container and the importance of community communication and community consent is also expected to be respected. We are here to explore and learn, so lets honor this.
4. Coming Back/Aftercare/- As we near the end of our practice, we will focus on aftercare. Shibari aftercare is crucial for the well-being and emotional safety of all those involved. It involves a deep physical, emotional, and psychological adherence with different levels of intimacy (sometimes feeling more intense than others) so it is important to feel supported and cared for when the practice is over. We will talk about massage, light touch, water, communication, processing, and reflection. An integration process is also a major component following Shibari. Shibari can bring up a lot of emotions so it is important for the person we are with to be able to hold space and provide proper care (going back to communication, consent, effective speaking, and active listening).
5. Meditation and Integration- After we finish the Shibari portion, a light breath work and meditation practice will be provided to really alchemize and harmonize our experience, allowing our nervous systems to regulate fully before leaving. Once we finish the relaxation portion, we will recap and integrate about our experience as a community.
6. We will discuss continued education, continued practice, and reiterate the importance of safety and consent. As well as support each other moving forward as a community.
7. This experience is not for everyone so please email the Organizer with any questions or concerns.
8. Please do not eat too heavy before, and wear clothing that is comfortable but tight on the skin (leggings, yoga pants)! Tasteful lingerie without wiring is also welcome if you feel comfortable.
