A movement and meditation workshop where you will notice your body and experience how pleasure can be *extra* queer. Pleasure, big or small, is much more accessible with practice than society (or we ourselves) would have us believe. We may think that pleasure is something we have to spend a lot of time and effort on and only do when we deserve it or when it feels good, but the fact is [...]

Concept: Shibari is the art of communication and body language, the transmission of sensations to a partner through a rope. It is a technique based on a sensory-tactile effect on the partner's body, creating patterns of the rope and revealing the aesthetic-erotic aspect of the composition, thus releasing the emotional component between the partners. The rope is a kind of barrier, something that binds us and at the same time releases the feelings and emotions that our bodies hide in our ordinary life. The rope that envelops the body gives a feeling of freedom and an infinite expansion of oneself, one's desires and thoughts.
