Step into the grounding embrace of the Earth in this Shibari Workshop with Shibari practitioner and educator Anna Noctuelle. Designed for those ready to deepen their rope practice, “Earth” is a guided exploration of floor-based ties, where gravity becomes your collaborator and presence is your medium.

Rooted in the fundamentals, this class expands into more intricate harnesses, movement, and techniques - all while staying on the ground. You’ll learn to work with the floor as a partner, using it to support movement, expression, and surrender.

Join us as we explore the energy of Earth: stability, grounding, patience, presence. You'll be guided in how to foster intentional connection, build trust, and develop intuitive communication with your partner. Together, we'll create space for playful exploration, conscious touch, and embodied creativity.

This class is designed for those who have completed our Beginners class (or equivalent) and feel confident with basic rope handling, frictions, and body awareness in rope.

Come with a partner or rope friend you trust and want to explore deeper grounding with.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

  • Floor-based ties and transitions
  • Integrating intention and presence into your rope work
  • Techniques for grounding, pacing, and emotional safety
  • Exercises to build communication and deepen connection
  • Space for experimentation and flow

Please wear comfortable clothing you can move in, and bring your own yoga mat.

My husband and I both really enjoyed this workshop. We went away with some great tools on how to improve our communication, work/life balance and wellbeing in general. Thank you so much for having us and looking forward to attending another workshop soon!

We thought it was fantastic. We have previously done a course with Bibi which was also fantastic but this taster session was not a repeat, it was very different. We feel inspired to do the full course.

The course was fantastic and I did things I never expected I would do on a zoom call with people I had not met before. Comfort zone busting and incredibly insightful learnings about how I am put together and the blocks that are holding me back and how to break through them. Bibi is exceptional and I highly recommend participating in any course she has to offer!
