Art of Shibari - Bondage Boot Camp for Upper Body Ties & Partial Suspensions (mixed)

Welcome to our shibari (rope bondage) boot camp. In one day, Caritia will give you a concentrated introduction into bondage that will enable you to create stable and functional upper body ties (takate kote) and allow you to move to your first partial suspension to give you wonderful opportunities to play and explore rope on your own.

Here is what you will learn:

• Arrival

• Warm Up 

• Drills – Single, Double, Tension

• Knots

• Anatomy & Nerves

• Consent & Negotiation 

• Why do we Tie? 

• Components of an Upper Body Tie

• Hierarchy of partial suspension

• What constitutes partial suspension

• Aftercare

What you need to know:

Anyone can join boot camp. Anyone arriving late will receive extra duties. Teamwork is key.

Bring your ropes, if you can. We can also provide a limited number of workshop ropes, if you don’t have any.

You do not need to bring a partner, however you are very welcome to bring one along. Every participant will need to buy a ticket as every participant will learn. There is no such thing as a completely passive bottom/bunny/partner.
