Shibari workshop 'Depth of Touch'
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.
Workshop message: This workshop is a deeply bodily practice about desires, to get to know oneself and one's partner on a new level of communication, without words, just with touch and rope. This workshop is for couples and threesomes, even if you don't have a partner, just invite someone with whom you will be happy to touch and smell each other.
What to bring: - Comfortable clothes that are visually pleasing to you and your partner (tights, leggings, t-shirts, sleeveless shirts) - Scarves or blindfolds, feathers or any tactilely pleasing items - Ropes, if you have your own ropes, bring them too. - *The workshop will have 3-4 ropes per couple.
