Shibari & Tantra
Saturday, May 24 · 6PM — 10PM
📍 Private boat, Paris 16th arrondissement
👁🗨 6 participants + Fabien & Ophélie
A sensorial, intimate & transformational journey.
Join us for a unique and intimate experience: a 4-hour journey into connection, presence, and transformation.
On a discreet boat docked in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, we’re creating a sacred cocoon for only 6 participants.
Shibari, the Japanese art of rope, is a dance of energy, a moving meditation where each knot deepens the connection.
Tantra, through full presence, opens the gateway to the soul and body.
Together, they weave a rare alchemy: to observe becomes as powerful as to participate — watching becomes communion.
A deep meditation,
A space beyond time, beyond space,
a connection to oneself in the deepest and truest way possible,
A release of traumatic memories—from this life, from other lives, and from our ancestral lines,
a transcendence—of the body, of the mind.
Here, nothing is mandatory.
You may choose to observe, receive, or be initiated into the art of Shibari, at your own inner rhythm.
THE SPIRIT OF THIS JOURNEY:
4 hours of ritual, held on a boat connected to the elements.
Opening circle, tantric practices, guided presence.
Shibari performance & energetic exploration of the bond.
Rotating roles: being seen, being tied, feeling, surrendering.
Everything rests on consent, sacred observation, and full presence.
A space where intimacy becomes art, and stillness becomes a path to ecstasy.
Boarding from 5:30PM – Doors close at 6PM.
What to expect:
Tantric & energetic connexion rituals – Gentle, sacred practices to awaken presence, curiosity, and deep connection.
Shibari performance – Fabien, master of the ropes, and I will offer a hypnotic demonstration, an invitation to feel the energy flowing through the space.
Intimate exploration – In a small group, you may choose to be tied or simply observe, in a space of absolute consent.
A collective journey.
My Testimony:
I discovered Shibari three years ago.
That night, just by witnessing a tying ritual, my body entered a trance.
Without being touched, I traveled — through pure presence and the energy shared in the space.
Today, after two months of guided practice with Fabien and a live performance during our Sacred Wild & Mystic retreat,
I feel the call to offer this art as a portal to the soul.
Fabien excels at weaving a tantric connection with each person he ties – a soul-to-soul dialogue.
I bring my transformational vision, where energy flows not only between the tied and the tying,
but also with those who observe, who feel, who dare to dive into the moment.
Client Testimonials:
"I loved how the ropes made me feel on my body, the sensation of being limited in my movements 🥰"
"Shibari — a first for me. At first, as a spectator, it felt transgressive, tied to BDSM imagery, evoking notions of dominance, submission, and power play that seemed contrary to the sacred sense of elevation and freedom I associate with retreats. I wasn’t expecting the nudity, nor what at first appeared like forced restraint and an image of women as slaves. But as the performance unfolded, those beliefs began to dissolve. I started to understand its artistic, intellectual, and conscious dimension — where domination and submission ultimately dissolve at a certain level of spiritual elevation. In this space, shibari becomes a form of healing, a liberation within a safely held and pre-agreed container."
"I loved what the ropes on my body made me feel—the sense of being limited in my movements 🥰"
"Shibari, a first for me. My initial reaction: a BDSM world, tinged with submission, dominance, the dominant/submissive dynamic—seemingly the opposite, I thought, of the spiritual elevation and sacred freedom of a retreat. The nudity, the apparent constraint, unsettled me. But as the performance went on, my beliefs began to dissolve. I discovered an artistic, conscious, and profound practice, where Shibari becomes a form of healing, an act of liberation, within a clear and respectful framework—beyond roles—in a form of pure presence."
"I experienced this moment as a precious gift you offered us. I allowed myself to be carried by it, to appreciate you, to feel your energy and be inspired by it."
"It was beautiful, surprising, intriguing. I felt excitement, yes—but also, immediately, a deep calm, a sense of safety, of protection, of gentleness. It was magical—I didn’t want it to end. When it was over and I went to sleep, I felt a need to return to that feeling of being held. That need to be contained, protected.
The ropes did what humans hadn’t been able to do for years."
