Workshops
A shibari workshop is a good opportunity to learn shibari in a small group — up to 5 couples. Note that you usually should come with a partner, if it's not explicitly stated otherwise.
Private shibari lessons for singles and couples
If you prefer to learn shibari in depth, then private lessons are the way to go! We will find a convenient time slot and I'll be happy to share my knowledge with you individually, face to face.
A standard individual lesson for a couple costs 300 CHF and consists of 3 hours of intensive work. You come together with your partner. I conduct the lesson either alone or with my partner, if it's necessary to demonstrate challenging moments. We will decide on the topics together with you in advance.
If you don't have a partner for the class — no problem! I can organize a person you can practice with. Note: this is not an erotic/sexual offer.
A private lesson of 3 hours with a provided model costs 450 CHF.
Booking details: I will ask for a deposit of 100 CHF once we have agreed on the date. The deposit is non-refundable in case you cancel the appointment. However, it is possible to reschedule once! If I have to cancel the appointment from my side and we cannot agree on a different date, then I will refund your deposit.
Rope jams
Since November 2021 I give regular rope jams — evening parties which are open for all shibari enthusiasts. Everybody is welcome: couples, singles, profis, beginners. I provide a safe space for you to play and expect you to treat each other with respect. My place is easily accessible by car and public transport — about 12 min from Bern train station.
The admission fee for rope jams is 20 CHF per person. I will do an introduction to the rope basics and safety on demand. Sometimes you can also get a mini-lesson on particular topics during the party.
For the rope jams I prepare 3-4 places where you can tie. There's also a coffee corner to relax and watch the others play. Maximum 10 people.
