Shibari is not just about what you tie, but how and why you build it.
This workshop focuses on the underlying structures that make ties functional, adaptable, and expressive. Instead of learning one fixed pattern, you’ll develop a modular understanding of rope: how suspension harnesses are constructed, how frictions shape tension and stability, and how small design choices change both the look and feel of a tie.
We’ll work with core building blocks: wraps, frictions (X, L, half-moon), and basic harness blueprints, learning and understanding how to build a gote (TK/box tie), a hip harness, and a mermaid tie. From there, we’ll explore how different traditions and styles approach similar structures, and what happens when you start modifying the blueprint.
Along the way, we’ll look at body geometry, balance, and how to adapt ties to different bodies and intentions. The goal is not to memorize patterns, but to understand the logic behind them so you can build, adjust, and tie with more confidence.
This workshop is ideal for those ready to move beyond fundamentals into more intentional and structured tying.
You can absolutely join solo, but we can’t guarantee that you will find a partner to tie with at the event. A lot of the workshop contents are possible to self-tie (excluding the gote). Watching the parts you can’t actively tie for also offers great learning opportunities as you have the possibility of witnessing all the feedback Ceci gives other students.
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid, queer, intersex, asexual, aromantic, agender.
Friends describe people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone's self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people's chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender-straight privileges.
Friends don't have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all proactively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
