Shibari - "Surrender & Play"
On Saturday, 4 Januari, Michael Bentein invites you to a transformative day of Surrender through Shibari and play night.
In this workshop, we invite you to discover the sweet space of surrender—both in its physical manifestation and emotional depth.
Through the art of tantric surrender, we’ll use the sacred practices of rope and massage to deepen the connection and polarity between you and your partner.
Guided by the ancient wisdom of tantra and the artistry of shibari, we’ll take you on a journey of heightened pleasure, profound trust, and total surrender.
With each step, you’ll enhance your awareness and open to new dimensions of intimacy—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. 💫
What the workshop includes:
✨ Shibari tying techniques
✨ Tantric massage practices
✨ Emotional and physical safety
✨ Exercises on leading and surrendering
✨ Role-switching sessions for deeper exploration
🌿 Surrender is a transformative process that requires immense trust—a trust that may be difficult for some, especially those with past wounds. In this trauma-sensitive workshop, we embrace vulnerability as a pathway to healing, cultivating deeper connections within ourselves and with others. Surrendering can be one of the most empowering gifts you give yourself. 🌸
