When was the last time you felt completely free to express yourself and play as nobody was watching?

This workshop is a judgment-free zone to discover the joy of exploring, sensing and experiencing. Ritual cacao is used in many traditions as a way to (re)connect to our true self, the rawest part inside of us, which sees the play as an approach to discover the world around us. For this reason, we will start the workshop with a cacao ceremony, allowing this plant to activate our senses and awaken our feral instincts. Through guided meditation and exercises we will embody stillness and movement, switching between these two states and learning our own preferences. We will dive into the animal world to playfully explore polarities.

We will introduce rope as a playful tool to connect with each other, try out and enjoy the polarities such as; stillness and motion, fast and slow, soft and firm,... You will get an introduction of basic rope handling, to shibari, which allows you to use rope in your play. The focus of the workshop is on non verbal communication, what type of connection do you create with your partner, and how to communicate emotions through rope in your play, enhanced by the combined work with cacao. This workshop is suitable for all skill levels. Even though you would be a frequent shibari practitioner this is a wonderful opportunity to explore body handling, transmitting intention through rope and working with different emotional tones and polarities in your play.
