Rope Play: 3 Day Shibari Immersion
-uvita, Costa Rica-
Come join Rope Play: Shibari Immersion in Uvita, Feb 23-25th.
Shibari, the Japanese art of tying the human body with ropes is a profound explorationβa dance, a game, a scene, a moment in time to share connection with another person in a unique and powerful way. The ropes become a conduit to self-awareness and empowerment, a journey that delves into the depths of our polarityβfeminine and masculine, surrender and control, discomfort and pleasure, past and present. This exploration illuminates the dynamics within ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
As your guide, I will lead you into a journey of the ropes. We will learn the basics of how to tie, how to move the ropes, and how to create aesthetically beautiful ties while learning how to convey a mood and emotion with your partner, the one you are tying. The body responds to the compression, to the holding, to the nurturing embrace of the ropes bringing a transcendent bliss. We will explore the range of sensations and provoke deep relaxation, excitement, desire, and joy. Also, it will also show you the soft parts of you, your fears and your struggles. Within this container, you will be held. Everything is welcome as this is space where we will lean into edges and make new discoveries of self.

In this class, you will learn both sides: Tying and being tied.
We will explore polarity and how to step into control with your empowered masculine energy (this is not gender! This is energy. Like Yang energy) and how to surrender more fully into your feminine energy (again not a gender, this is a symbolism of an embodiment of an energetic).
