A guided rope + energy journey exploring Reiki-informed attunement and embodied connection—leaving you with techniques to continue practice.

Energy Meets Rope is a beginner-friendly Shibari workshop that integrates Reiki-informed energy awareness, somatic breathing, and slow, intentional rope work. This class is designed to help you deepen your existing rope practice—or begin one—by learning how to feel, guide, and co-regulate energy between yourself and a partner.

You will learn how to use:

1. Breathwork to create grounding and presence
2. Energetic attunement to increase sensitivity and trust
3. Reiki-inspired hand placements to open connection pathways
4. Mindful rope techniques that deepen somatic awareness
5. Practice to drop in/connect with yourself or partner

What You’ll Take With You:

1. Techniques to regulate and sync energy through rope
2. Breath + pacing tools to increase connection
3. A repeatable framework you can continue long after class

This approach to Shibari is less about performance and more about connection, communication, and energetic flow.

Whether you are tying or being tied, you’ll leave with practical tools you can continue to use in your personal practice—on your own or with partners.

After guided instruction, we close with optional open play time to explore rope, energy, and sensation at your own pace, with support if desired.
