Private Shibari Session w. Masha
In your 60 or 90 minute session you will meet the fullness of the present moment while being held between the ropes in an intimate ceremonial experience where rope becomes reverence, tension becomes prayer, and surrender becomes sacred. Within this rope journey the body is honored as an altar of pleasure, as we remember, with the placement of each rope, how it feels to be played with, enticed, held, witnessed, and worshiped…
Choose between the Somatic Rope Journey, Practice + Play Experience or Rope Session w.Photography. Each session includes a 30 minute preparation call prior to the retreat. Info will be provided to schedule call following registration.
Somatic Rope Journey
A somatic rope journey uses shibari, the beautiful art of Japanese-inspired rope bondage, to create a unique and integrative mind-body experience. Binding the body with jute rope combined with body-based tools such as breathwork and intuitive movement as well as elements of ritual, embodied accompaniment, music, and somatic coaching is used to create a non-sexual, but deeply sensual and pleasurable, experience of restriction and release. Your soma - Greek for “the body in all of its wholeness” - is at the center of this experience.
What can you experience in a private rope journey session?
Each experience is unique and built around your particular intentions. Sessions start with grounding into the present moment and tuning into your internal awareness. Many people find pleasure and insight in various aspects of being tied, from the felt sense of bondage to the striking visual effect of the body bound in rope. There are many beautiful metaphors within this experience that become apparent when you focus inward and surrender to the rope. Through risk-aware and trauma-informed practice I strive to create a rope space where you can:
Build awareness of sensations in the body
️Connect to your inner strength and resilience
️Move through expanded and contracted states
️Embody your authentic self and feel your feelings
️Release physical tension and stuck emotions
️Explore your edges, fears, desires, and boundaries in a curated kink context
️Surrender and relinquish control
Practice + Play Experience
If you’re interested in diving deeper into rope skills and technique as well as rope play this can be the focus of this session. Masha would love to work with you on various techniques and provide guided skills/play practice for self-tying if you are solo, or tying on others with 1-4 (total) participants. $50 per additional participant paid in cash at time of session.
Rope session with Photography
The body in rope is a beautiful vision to behold. Rope images can be evocative of the internal experience of the rope journey and a beautiful way to commemorate your tie. Photos of the poses and progressions can help recapture some of the sensations and emotions that they brought.
Photography can also be the main focus of the session. In this case, the harnesses, poses, environment, adornments and clothing will be our creative tools to craft beautiful scenes where your body and spirit in rope can be captured on camera. Below are two themes that I would love to explore but other concepts and ideas are welcome.
Rope scenes in nature
Imagine the heightened sensations and awareness of the body in rope paired with all the sights, smells, sensations, and sounds of being in nature. This photo concept is about using the beautiful landscape of our summer camp as a backdrop for your photography rope shoot. Allow yourself to be moved by the elements of deep summer - the warm sun, cool grass, sweet afternoon breeze - as you drop into the rope journey that will be beautifully captured on camera…..
Undressing in rope
If you want to make it extra spicy - keep your clothes on! Bondage scenes often depict the person in rope naked or with little clothing. Rope on a nude body can be compelling, but there’s a particular type of vulnerability, seduction, and pleasure in the experience of being tied in clothing that is then peeled, torn or cut away to various levels of exposure (with your embodied consent, of course!). If this spicy scene calls to you, let’s plan the perfect outfit to be removed/destroyed and let our fabulous photographer capture the rope & fabric drama!
Add photography to any session! Add a 30 minute photoshoot with Kasturbai to your cart (specifically lined up with the latter 30 minutes of your rope session) and add the word Collaboration to the form! Subject to availability.
