Shibari-TantraWaregem and Nukerke, October to December 2026

There is finally
room to practise.

My L1 classes sell out, class after class. Four places per class do not meet the demand. So I am bringing everyone who has taken a class with me together on four dates: two rope jams in Waregem, and two Surrender days in Nukerke with a rope temple in the evening.

4dates

Two Sundays to practise, two Saturdays to go deeper.

20places per jam

Five times more than in an L1 class, with the same guidance on the floor.

20 eurofrom

You choose whether you join the class, the jam, or both.

Why I am starting this

A class teaches you knots. A jam teaches you rope.

After the free introduction I hear the same thing every time: people want to keep practising without committing to a whole series straight away. A three hour class gives you technique. What comes after that is time, repetition and people to work with.

A rope jam gives you those three. You come on your own or with someone. You take your time. I move around, look along and help wherever things get stuck. And there is extra guidance on the floor, so you are never left alone with a question.

Track two, go deeper

Shibari meets Tantra: Surrender

A full day about rope and about what it takes to let yourself go, in a magical place in the Flemish Ardennes. Clothes stay on during the day, which makes this work as your first Shibari meets Tantra. In the evening I open the rope temple.

Safety and consent

What I ask of you

  • You always ask before you touch someone or touch someone's rope work.
  • You are sober.
  • You look after your own safety and you say so when something does not feel right, for yourself and for the other person.
  • A no here is simply a no, without explanation.
  • Everything shared here stays here.
How I work

Letting go, in good hands

I guide these days as a travel guide. I work out what you need and take you there, at your pace. Nothing is done with pain. I keep an eye on nerves and pressure, and I step in when a tie is not sitting safely.

You may always drop down a level. If halfway through something feels like too much, you step out without having to explain it. Read also how I work with safety and consent.

Questions I often get

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Solos are welcome on all four dates. I do not assign partners. At the jam I make sure you find someone to work with, and on the Surrender days the warm up lets you get to know and sense each other first, so the choice happens on feeling.

Do I need experience?

Not for the group class at the jam. At the jam itself you are welcome whether you have just started or have been at it a while. For Surrender I do ask that you have come across shibari or tantra before, so we can build further that day.

Do clothes stay on?

At the rope jams and during the day programme of Surrender, clothes stay on. In the rope temple in the evening clothing can come off down to lingerie, and that is always your choice.

Does it hurt?

I work without pain. Rope can feel intense, and I teach you straight away how to say when something is too tight or too much.

Is this a dating event?

No. This is about rope, presence and surrender. I watch the gender balance in the group and the consent agreements hold all day.

I am curious but also a little nervous.

I hear that often, and it is welcome. You decide how far you go and you may stop at any moment. If you would rather taste it calmly first, come to a free introduction in Ghent.

Choose your day, we do the rest together.
