This traditional Japanese practice is about creating DEEP EMOTIONAL CONNECTION through the conscious use of rope. It is a moving meditation in which the giver learns to remain fully ATTACHED while the receiver experiences what it means to truly GIVE OVER in safety.

In our practice you will discover:

• ✨ How rope becomes a bridge for deep intimacy between people
• ✨ The transformative power of conscious presence and touch
• ✨ How physical restriction can create mental and emotional freedom
• ✨ The art of boundaries – both delineating and respecting them
• ✨ What it means to trust and be trusted at the deepest level
• ✨ The silent power that arises when we dare to make ourselves vulnerable

This is not about tricks or techniques – it is about transformation. 🦋

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to COMPLETELY let go?

Maybe you’re curious about shibari but didn’t know where to start. Maybe you’ve seen beautiful rope photography and wondered “Could I ever create such experiences?” Or maybe you are tired of superficial connections and HUNK for something real, something that touches your soul.

The Shibari Bootcamp is where your journey begins. ✨

What happens during this half-day journey:

• ✅ Fundamental philosophy: understanding Shibari as a philosophy, not just techniques
• ✅ Essential Safety: Building knowledge to practice confidently and safely
• ✅ Technical fundamentals: Mastering the fundamentals needed to create deep experiences
• ✅ Focus on connection: learning how rope becomes a conductor for deep intimacy
• ✅ Both roles: Each participant practices both as giver ALSO receiver

Perfect for:

• 🌱 Absolute beginners without any experience with ropes
• 🌱 Singles – no partner needed
• 🌱 Couples who want to explore together in a supportive group
• 🌱 Anyone seeking authentic human connection beyond the superficial

Language: Shibari Bootcamp groups continue in Dutch unless otherwise expressly stated. For private bootcamp in English, see Shibari private classes.

Feeling that VONK during your first workshop…. But struggle to keep it alive at home?

You learned the basics, went home ENTHOUSIAST with your new rope…. but without regular practice and community support, those magical moments of the workshop began to feel like distant memories. Sound familiar?

The gap between “I learned this once” and “I can create profound experiences” – that’s where most people get stuck. 🌊

This is where the REAL magic happens

Shibari Connect Nights are not just practice sessions. It is where you build the CONFIDENCE and COMMUNITY that transforms incidental rope play into a profound practice that enriches your life.

Each evening includes:

19:00-20:30: FOCUSED CLASS

• ✅ Independent classes suitable for those who have recently completed boot camp
• ✅ Each session explores different aspects of shibari
• ✅ Building a broad base and expanding your toolbox

20:30-22:00: COMMUNITY ROPE JAM

• ✅ Safe practice space with guidance available

This is not just about learning rope techniques – it is about joining a COMMUNITY of growth-oriented people who support each other’s journey. 💫

You’re not the only one who feels this way

Maybe you recognise it – that HUNGER for something more real than the superficial connections that seem to be all around you. That voice that whispers that more is possible between people. That longing to be fully SEEN, to be fully CONNECTED with another human being.

You belong here.

My name is Sam. Since 2023, I have had the privilege of teaching over 200 people who felt the same way. People who were tired of “just okay” and ready for something that touches their SOUL. Our Bootcamp has now sold out 8 times – not because we teach the best knots, but because people find what they were looking for here: a place where they belong.

What I share with you

I have personally experienced the life-changing power of what happens when two people truly LET GO in each other’s presence. Those moments when rope is no longer rope, but becomes a bridge to something much bigger than ourselves.

For those who already feel what I am describing – who already know they belong here but want to understand more about WHAT this actually does to you – I have captured everything I have learned in “Rope & Release.” This is no instruction book. It is an invitation to prepare your heart for what you are about to experience. To understand why shibari can touch people so deeply. To feel in advance what is possible.

The book is there for when you are ready. For now: your presence here, your curiosity, your desire for more – that’s enough.

Are you ready?

The question is not whether you are “ready” – but whether you are READY to discover what is possible.

That curiosity you feel? Your body is telling you something IMPORTANT. You are ready for connection that changes you.

Your journey begins here:

Never tried it before? The Bootcamp welcomes you.
Ready for more? Connect Nights await you.
Want to make it more personal? Private lessons for your journey.

Don’t wait for perfect circumstances. The people who transform are those who feel the calling and ACT.

The only question is: Are you ready to say YES to yourself? ✨

Do you want FULL ATTENTION and PERSONAL ASSISTANCE for your shibari journey?

Sometimes group workshops don’t fit into your schedule, or maybe you prefer to learn in a more INTIME SETTING with your partner or close friends, or want lessons in English. Maybe you have SPECIFIC QUESTIONS or want to progress at your own pace without the dynamics of a larger group.

Shibari Private Lessons offer you the ultimate in personalized learning. ✨
