Intermediate Shibari Workshop

4 elements - The basis of sensuality

with Tati Limati

Imagine yourself in a shibari laboratory—a place dedicated to the exploration of techniques, feelings, sensations, silence, dance, energy, animal instincts, meditation, philosophy, aesthetics, intensity, and discipline... all through the medium of rope. You arrive with your partner to delve into a structured classification of behavioral therapeutic techniques, discovering how to improvise with ease and express your true self while tying. You learn to embrace the most practical aspects of your mindset while also cultivating a deep sensitivity. You explore how to make both yourself and your partner fully present, to savour every detail and moment shared between you.

In this space, you study a variety of techniques designed to open you up and bring more meaning to the dynamics of being gentle or tough. You learn to be mindful of breathing and emotional states, especially your own. The goal is to be as sincere and free as possible in the expression of shibari.

The four elements of shibari—"Air," "Earth," "Fire," and "Water"—are not merely a classification within a body-oriented approach; they also serve as a philosophical foundation that can unlock even greater potential and value within you, inspiring a deeper connection with others. This foundation, built upon years of experience, is presented in a pragmatic form accessible to everyone.

Water, which signifies love
Air, allowing for presence
Earth, as a foundation for all we do
Fire, as the power of creation
A 5th, secret element will be revealed during the workshop
