What is Shibari?
Shibari is the Japanese art of rope bondage—an intimate and beautiful practice where rope is used to create connection, sensation, and sometimes stunning visual designs on the body. While it can be erotic, it’s not always sexual. For many, it’s a way to build trust, explore power dynamics, or simply enjoy the meditative, sensual experience of being tied or tying someone else.
At its core, shibari is about consent, communication, and connection—and it welcomes curious newcomers just as much as seasoned rope lovers.

Sexual play and hand-to-genital contact are not allowed at this event. Specifics of any intended play must be discussed & agreed with your play partner prior to starting your rope scene.
