14. February 2025, 1:45 pm – 3:45 pm

In this workshop, we’ll explore the deeper meaning of connection through Shibari, moving beyond technique to focus on forming authentic bonds with our partners. Gombé will guide participants in discovering the joy of truly connecting, offering insights into how respect, openness, and empathy can deepen our Shibari practice.
