Archetypes
Archetypes - The power of intention
With Anna Noctuelle
In this workshop we aim to free our minds from patterns and structural thinking and focus on intention with the help of diving into the world of archetypes. Being present in the moment, using intuition and charging the rope emotionally to communicate non-verbally will be the focus of this day.
We’ll explore how meaning, intentions, and feelings are shaped by excitements, constraints, vibrancies, energies, rules, and limitations and discover the beauty of syntactic organisation that emerges from such commitment. When we fully commit to our intent, true communication happens.
Join us to create a playful space where our minds are liberated, and our senses guide us.
Prerequisites:
This is a highly adaptable workshop. Basic technical skills for riggers are required: single and double column ties, floor work, some basic but solid harnesses, possibly some knowledge of uplines. Good communication and good understanding of one’s own limits and boundaries are required for models. We encourage you to join with someone you are open to play and experiment with.

Shibari Notation
Shibari Notation
TIME CHANGE! This workshop will take place over ONE DAY only, on Sunday 2/23, 12pm-6pm
Being a Shibari model at heart who has also performed a bit in my life and loves to develop ideas and sequences, I've always felt that I need a system to convey my ideas reliably to my rigger without complicated descriptions or working it out live on the mat. My ballet background made up the frame from which the sequence notation system derives. But not only is it a tool for developing performances together and communicating ideas to each other, the applications are manyfold:
Have you ever found yourself snapping dozens of photos during a workshop, only to struggle piecing together the precise suspension sequence later? Or felt disheartened by your inability to sketch meaningful stick figures that aid in comprehending a sequence? Perhaps you've been struck with ideas for experimenting in a rope jam during your morning shower, only to forget them entirely by the time you step onto the mat. Have you ever needed to come up with a performance but lacked sufficient time with your tying partner to go through every step, yet also lacked the language to convey it over the phone?
These amongst other reasons were my motivation to develop a graphical notation system for Shibari which is akin to choreography notation for dance or musical notation. It was invented to cater to the needs of exploration, documentation, and composition of Shibari sequences, offering both novices and seasoned practitioners an easy and straightforward yet precise method of notation. It serves as a means to document, recall, and construct sequence progressions with ease. Whether swiftly capturing ideas or memorising sequences from workshops or performances, this notation can be of great help. For advanced students, it facilitates the drafting and comprehension of new concepts before trying it out.
Establishing a universal language for Shibari notation fosters the exchange, preservation, and creation of learning materials, performances, exercises, and ideas for scenes. It could serve as a tool for archiving and preserving the creative work being done in this discipline.

Thirst Trap
Thirst Trap, Fetishistic objectification in rope
With Bondagious and Thumper
To offer yourself up as an object of desire is to step into a world of vulnerability and power. Here, you become the feast—your body bound and displayed, framed to capture attention and ignite yearning. This is not merely about being taken and consumed but about choosing to be seen—weighed, assessed, admired.
Adopting a form of cis-gay male gaze, we will lean into erotic yearning fueled by parts logic, a detached hyper-fixation on specific segments or aspects of a body. Through a guided objectification exercise, we will investigate what catches the eye, what draws out longing, what stirs up an insatiable thirst. Then we will explore ways to use rope to bind and frame that which fascinates us.
This form of play involves dynamics of power: to break someone into parts is to take control of how they are perceived and desired. However, to be the source that provokes hunger is to hold sway over those who crave our flesh.
Decoupling the flesh from the human that occupies it, we can put down identities and relationships, temporarily suspending our humanity in order to investigate our carnal craving to consume and be consumed.
Prerequisites: This class is suitable for advanced beginners already familiar with body harness patterns and principles and who have previous experience being tied. We will not focus on technical aspects of tying and being tied, rather we will explore ways to bind the meat to provoke and stimulate our thirst.
Tickets sold as pairs. $120 per tying pair.

Follow My Lead
Follow My Lead
With Bondagious and Thumper
In this communication exercise, we will deliberately invert conventional tying power dynamics such that the person-in-rope carries both the power AND the control. Using only words to describe specific ties, body parts and relative positions, bottoms will lead tops through a mystery transition sequence in this challenging game of “follow my lead”. Will we be able to communicate clearly as the intensity of the tie increases?
Prerequisites: This class is suitable for advanced beginners and up, as we will focus on developing clear communication under pressure. The principles of this activity can be applied to any tying sequence or structure, however advanced practitioners comfortable with dynamic suspension may wish to use this exercise to hone their proficiency while in the air.
Tickets sold as pairs. $120 per tying pair.

Forms: Kata-Ashi
Forms: Kata-Ashi
with Syd
This is a suspension level class exploring “classic” forms. Through in depth guided instruction and hands-on practice we will examine the artistry and function of commonly seen static shapes. Emphasis will be placed on creative expression, sustainability in suspension, and awareness of safety and risk considerations. Students will refine their rope handling, tension, control, precision, and flow, while continuing to build the scaffolding of their Shibari technique.
This class is best suited for tying partners who have a strong grasp of fundamentals (see prerequisites below) and tie together frequently. This class is not recommended as anyone’s first suspension, but all steps, including building uplines, will be shown in full.
More often than not, these forms will be demonstrated with a TK. It’s not *required* for students to recreate the tie with a TK, and students will always be encouraged to adapt their ties to their wants and needs. Adaptability, sustainability, and creativity will be greatly emphasized and encouraged in this class. Some time will be dedicated to each class to work through the nuances and particularities of the TK or the harness alternative of the students choosing.
Prerequisites:
Rigger prerequisites: experience building and assessing suspendable harnesses, some experience with tk is encouraged but not required, some experience building static uplines, confident in rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope
Bottom prerequisites: confident in-rope communication skills, knowledge of safety and risk in rope, confident ability to monitor and communicate signs of nerve compression, some experience with tk is encouraged but not required
Supplies:
One full rope kit. This class will be taught on bamboo, no additional rigging gear is required.

RopeO
Rope0: the first step in Temple’s progressive core curriculum
This class is mandatory for anyone looking to take our core curriculum series: Roped-In, Bound To, Flight Path, and Tied Up. Highly recommended for new-to-rope folks interested in The Hang.
Masha and Mrghy offer a regular class focused on basic skills both technically and relationally. They believe shibari is first and foremost a practice in connection, a deliberate conversation between vulnerabilities, and a possible place for growth.
In this interactive class, they cover the history and safer practice of Japanese-inspired rope bondage. They also discuss expectations on community accountability, consent-based interactions, ethical values, and mutual care, all seasoned with some basic rope skills learning.

Group Project
Group Project
with Syd
A monthly study group for folks working in suspension wishing to hone their skills in a collaborative setting, facilitated by Syd.
Each month, the group will collectively decide on a shape, sequence, concept, or pattern to work on. The evening will start with a demo (either by Syd or by a preselected couple). Afterwards, each pair will be able to work through the “project”, with the collective support of the group for ideas and problem solving. In the last part of the class, the group will come together to discuss what worked well and what didn’t, successful changes and adaptations, ect.
Prerequisites:
Riggers must be able to:
Confidently tie several suspendable harnesses, confidently build and manage multiple uplines, have excellent in-scene communication skills, and be well informed on safety and risk in rope suspension

Hishi Logic
Hishi Logic
with William
Diamonds are timeless.
This workshop will explore traditional ties that are based on the Japanese Hishi pattern, a series of diamond shapes that can create bondage that is both beautiful and structural. Hishi ties are incredibly versatile and can be applied in a variety of ways that can easily be tailored to any body shape. This style of tying can be used to create hands free and gote ties with the hands bound behind the back and can be applied as arm and leg binders.
We will be presenting a series of ties that evolve from simple to more complex so that students who are still getting comfortable with single and double column ties can build their technique. Those who are more practiced will have plenty of space to try more complicated variations. We will also introduce up lines for the final exercise and create a simple partial suspension. As these are introductory exercises, no previous suspension experience is required to participate.
Attendees should bring a rope kit of 10pcs of varying lengths if possible or 7 full and three half lengths.
Exercises will include-
Review of Single and Double Column Ties
Hands free Hishi Chest Harness
Hands Behind Back (Gote) Hishi Harness

Floor Exposure
Floor Exposure
With Bänana
This floor class will propose playful bondages, all with the common goal of exposing the bound person. It will leave room for creativity, so that each pair can find a way of exposing the other to create reactions. (What may be exposing/intimidating for one person may not be so for another...).
This course will provide tools and ideas for finding one's own interpretation of what exposure in the ropes can create in both partners: embarrassment, vulnerability, shame, sharing intimacy etc...
This class will also provide an opportunity to discuss the play dynamics that can be created by this kind of bondage, and the reactions and emotions generated. For a long time, the most popular shibari photos were those of people of female gender expression (whose bodies meet the beauty criteria of hetero-patriarchal society) being tied up by people of male gender expression.
For some years now, diversified representations have been put forward, and the practice is tending to become less stereotyped!
Bänana does her best to create a class where everyone, whatever their gender, expressions, and whatever the dynamics of their relationship with their partner, can feel welcome.
Level:
Riggers must at least master single column tie, double column tie, counter tension and X friction.
Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience. It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent).
Material:
A minimum of 6 jute ropes (or hemp eventually), ideally 6mm in diameter and averaging 7-8 meters in lenght will be required.
Feel free to bring along any outfit(s) you feel would suit the theme !
Tickets sold as pairs, $120 per tying pair.

Breath Play With Ropes
Breath Play With Ropes
With Bänana
During a bondage session, the breathing of the tied up person is often impacted. A simple chest harness can become real torture when breathing in certain positions. The rope is a perfect tool for breath play. The rigger can play with his or her partner’s breathing on different spots: mouth, throat, ribcage, abdomen...
After we familiarize ourselves with the precautions to be taken, we’ll experiment with effective ways of obstructing the air column...
Breath play is a powerful means of communication in ropes. In this course, we’ll explore the reactions and emotions that breath play can induce on your partner, so that we can use it appropriately in a rope session.
Level:
Person tying must know how to tie structured harness and tie uplines. Person getting tied must be used to floorwork at least. Bänana’s ropes style could be related to semenawa (ropes of torment). You need to be comfortable with this kind of dynamic. It’s important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent)
Material:
A minimum of 8 jute ropes (or hemp eventually), ideally 6mm in diameter and averaging 7-8 meters in length will be required.

From Floor to Partial
From Floor to Partial
With Bänana
This class is a complete introduction to partial-suspension. It is suitable for riggers who are comfortable with floor bondage and wish to evolve their practice towards partial-suspension, as well as those with some experience who wish to deepen their knowledge or comfort levels.
In this course, we’ll take an in-depth look at structural concepts: how do you know if a harness is suspendable or not? What questions need to be asked when building a harness that will be attached to a suspension line? etc. We’ll also talk about suspension lines: how do we tie and handle them? How do we lock them? etc. Partial-suspension is riskier than floor bondage, so we will take time to discuss the new safety features involved in this practice.
For those who are tied, this course is an opportunity to explore new sensations and emotions generated by partial-suspension, and to share thoughts on the topic.
Level:
This course is suitable for riggers who know how to build the main harnesses and
have a solid basis in floorwork. Person getting tied must be used to floorwork at least.
Material:
A minimum of 8 jute ropes (or hemp eventually), ideally 6mm in diameter and
averaging 7-8 meters in length will be required.

Join Masha and friends on this journey to begin an intentional, body-based, connective rope practice. While lots of time will be spent on rope handling and skill building, this course will focus on both ends of the rope, to serve both folks giving and receiving it. Switching is welcome but not necessary!
The classes will cover:
Session 1: Basic tension, frictions, and knots; collapsible and non-collapsible single-column ties. Risk assessment and mitigation, nerve safety overview.
Session 2: Body handling and affective rope skills; how to move a body; how to use rope to move a body. Double-column ties.
Session 3: Somatics for rope; Hojo cuffs and Yuki fix; One-rope practice (Ipponnawa)
Session 4: Floor-based ties; how to use rope to bind a body in a shape for play.
Each session includes a discussion, a short demo, and plenty of practice time, leading to building a full, floor-based rope scene.
There are no technical prerequisites for this course but Rope 0 is required before you can take Roped In.
In order to promote continuity of learning and community trust, we’d like to have a max of 9 pairs for the whole series. Drop-ins will NOT be available for these, and registered pairs should remain the same throughout (learning buddies are the best!).
Snacks and non-alcoholic drinks are welcome, and any comfortable outfit you like to move in. We will have some jute rope to use for practice, but we encourage you to bring your own (so you can practice at home between sessions!). 2-3 pieces will suffice, any material is welcome.
RSVP is $280 per tying pair for both days

Exploring the 3rd/ 4th ropes of TK for Semenawa
Exploring the 3rd/ 4th ropes of TK for Semenawa
With Bänana
The addition of a 3rd or 4th rope to a TK is a common practice in semenawa, enhancing and enriching the tie by adapting it to our specific needs and intentions. This workshop will focus on understanding how to incorporate these ropes into a variety of situations. Whether used to provide support and secure complex positions like gyaku ebi, optimize a vertical suspension, introduce constraint, restrict breathing, or create a specific aesthetic, these ropes can serve multiple roles.
We will explore the requirements of the TK in more depth, as well as how to integrate the 3rd and 4th ropes effectively. You will also be introduced to different construction techniques, and learn how to creatively freestyle variations tailored to your own needs and preferences.
Level:
Person tying must know how to tie a TK. Person getting tied must be used to floorwork at least.
Bänana’s ropes style could be related to semenawa (ropes of torment). You need to be comfortable with this kind of dynamic. It’s important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent)
Material:
A minimum of 5 jute ropes (or hemp eventually), ideally 6mm in diameter and averaging 7-8 meters in length will be required.
Tickets sold as pairs, $120 per tying pair.
$40 deposit, $80 cash at the start of class
RSVP $120 per pair opening on 2/26

Movement & Immobility
Movement & Immobility
With Bänana
This is a two day weekend intensive that takes place on April 12th and 13th from 1pm-7pm both days.
[ This workshop is the one that best reflects Bänana’s bondage journey and inquiries over the past years. It has been designed to be highly interactive for both riggers and rope bottoms. ]
We can see a shibari session as a sequence of different steps. The choice of these steps is made as the session progresses, depending on the evolution desired by the rigger in relation to his/her partner. The rigger can for example choose to add ropes, to vary a shape, to create movement and to radically change a position. During this workshop, I would like us to analyze the possibilities we have to make a session evolve, by observing in our practice the moments of immobility and movements.
We will attach very different types of sessions in order to find ways of thinking about questions such as : What is at play in the immobility for the person tied up? What is the right moment to decide to change position and in what ways can we choose to allow mobility or to make a transition?
This workshop is not meant to bring answers but to try to enrich our practice of semenawa with new paths!
Level:
This course is suitable for riggers who are comfortable tying in suspension. Having already been tied several times in suspension is necessary for the models. Bänana’s ropes style could be related to semenawa (ropes of torment). You need to be comfortable with this kind of dynamic. Communication being a central element in shibari it is always preferable to come with a partner with whom you already practice in order to allow a good experience. It's important to have already discussed the framework of your practice (desires, intentions, limits, ways of managing consent).
Material:
A minimum of 10-12 jute ropes (or hemp eventually), ideally 6mm in diameter and averaging 7-8 meters in length will be required.
Tickets sold as pairs, $120 per tying pair.
$200 deposit, $280 cash at the start of class. $4800 total.
Tickets are $480 per Pair opening on 2/26

Embracing the Gote
Embracing the Gote
With Anna Noctuelle
The Gote, or Takate Kote, represents more than just a technical harness—it's a profound journey of connection, sensation, and mutual understanding. This workshop invites both riggers and models to explore this iconic and foundational tie through a holistic, nuanced lens. We will learn about the structure and purpose of this tie, how it affects your body, identify potential risks and learn how to manage and mitigate them.
Beyond mere technical execution, we'll delve into the rich emotional landscape of the Gote. Participants will discover how this tie transcends its practical purposes, becoming a powerful medium of communication, trust, and shared experience. This workshop is designed for both riggers and models who wish to deepen their understanding of this simple yet complex tie and want to enhance their experience in ropes. The workshop will be a mix of discussions, Q&A, and practical exercises.
It would be beneficial if the people tying/riggers would be able to tie a 2TK or at least the upper wrap.
Tickets sold as pairs, $120 per tying pair.
$40 deposit, $80 cash at the start of class
RSVP $120 per pair

Wheel of Consent
Wheel of Consent
with Beth
Embodying Consent Beyond Yes and No: An Introduction to the Wheel of Consent
The Wheel of Consent, developed by Betty Martin, is a wonderful framework to help us ask for what we want, to find our pleasure, and to deepen our capacity for authentic connection, intimacy and compassion. Learning about the different quadrants (Serve, Take, Accept and Allow) can help bring clarity around giving and receiving and distinguishing between who is doing and who it’s for. Practicing the Wheel through touch exercises helps to bring the quadrants into our bodies!
This class will be an Introduction to the Wheel of Consent through discussion and several short, paired exercises that will move us through the quadrants of the Wheel. Participants are welcome to opt out of the exercises and observe, or request that they be non-touch. Seating is mostly on the floor on mats (There are few seats available on a small couch.) We will have some cushions and pillows available, if you are able please bring a small pillow and/or blanket.
Please note: space opens 15 minutes before the start of class. Due to the sensitive subject of this workshop, please give yourself time to arrive and ground in the space to start on time with the opening circle.
Teacher Bio:
Beth Poague is an educator with a focus on disability justice and inclusion and is training to become a certified Wheel of Consent Facilitator (schoolofconsent.org).

Hogtie Rodeo
Hogtie Rodeo
with William
It’s a hogtie ho-down! William will be demonstrating a variety of hogties ranging from single rope (ichinawa) to partially suspendable variations. Want to turn your bottom into a suitcase? We can do that. Want to immobilize someone so they can be your prey? Yes, we do.
During these escalating ties, we will be going over body movement techniques, rope handling tips and tricks, and how to combine single and double column ties with hojo cuffs while employing a variety of frictions. If you’re new to futomomos (leg binds) we’ll be going over simple versions that are great for floor ties and partials.
Attendees should come in pairs and bring 6-8 lengths of rope depending on how deep you want to go in the ties. Prerequisites for this workshop are Rope0 and Roped In.

Mrghy has been working on embodiment in and out of rope for two decades. Rope has been a friend for over 10 years, and a fundamental practice for the past 5. She brings her expertise in embodiment, somatics, trauma-informed practices, and mindfulness to the experience of rope as a bottom leaning switch. She is passionate about sharing information about trauma, pain science, and vulnerable conditions such as hypermobility, neurodivergence, and addiction with communities of all kinds, and those involved in shibari, kink, and BDSM in particular. She co-founded Temple in Bushwick in 2019.

In this interactive class, they cover the history and safer practice of Japanese-inspired rope bondage. They also discuss expectations on community accountability, consent-based interactions, ethical values, and mutual care, all seasoned with some basic rope skills learning.

4 Elements
4 Elements - The Technique of Sensual Rope Bondage by Tati Limati
Imagine yourself in a shibari laboratory—a place dedicated to the exploration of techniques, feelings, sensations, silence, dance, energy, animal instincts, meditation, philosophy, aesthetics, intensity, and discipline... all through the medium of rope.
In this space, you study a variety of techniques designed to open you up and bring more meaning to the dynamics of being gentle or tough. You learn to be mindful of breathing and emotional states, especially your own. The goal is to be as sincere and free as possible in the expression of shibari.
The four elements of shibari—"Air," "Earth," "Fire," and "Water"—are not merely a classification within a body-oriented approach; they also serve as a philosophical foundation that can unlock even greater potential and value within you, inspiring a deeper connection with others. This foundation, built upon years of experience, is presented in a pragmatic form accessible to everyone.
In this introductory workshop we will touch in some of the main techniques that characterize this approach, such as:
Theory of history and philosophy: "4 Elements" with demonstrations of each practice included in Shibari (Aikido, Thai massage, Contact Improv, Qigong, Tantra, BDSM)
Body mechanics of movement and points of influence on the body
Practice of four behavioral techniques for easier improvisation with ropes
"Ichi Nawa": Working with one rope to create a sensual connection with a partner
Different options for predicament ties
Exploring the senses in sensual tying
How to create a story with ropes
Developing empathy
Sensual "4 Elements" Gote Shibari and the art of touching your partner's heart
Prerequisites:
- Single column tie
- Wrapping, tension and reverse tension
- Have an understanding of basic frictions: half hitch, nodome, yuki fix
- Gote (Tekate Kote) shibari ( some understanding, can be rudimentary)
Suitable for Beginner-Intermediate and Advanced levels
Materials:
You need 4 ropes 7-8 meters long.
Bring comfortable clothing.
If you like to take notes during class, please bring pen and paper.
This workshop is ideally followed as a couple, but it is also possible to self-tie.
Switching is allowed.
You should know these shibari basics:
- Single column tie
- Wrapping, tension and reverse tension
- Have an understanding of basic frictions: half hitch, nodome, yuki fix
- Gote (Tekate Kote) shibari
About Tati Limati
Tati is a Ukrainian shibari artist and instructor.
She studied in Europe and Japan. Among others, her teachers were Naka Akira, Ren Yagami, Kinoko Hajime, Nicolas Yoroi. She also studied the Yukimura style. She has a background in aikido, tango, contact improvisation, femdom, tantra and other practices. She is currently studying to obtain a third higher education degree in psychology.
Tati is the organizer of international events in Ukraine and Poland and a regular contributor to Shibari Theatre in Asia and around the world. Tati is also a traveler. She currently lives in Thailand.
Over the course of 12 years, Tati Limati has not just been training her rope skills, but researched many techniques and practices to integrate in her shibari practice. She combines elements of martial arts, contact improvisation, tantra, qi gong and Thai massage with the purpose of adding depth and sincerity to her own shibari work.
In her teachings, she intends to help participants explore their underlying motivations and add deeper layers to their shibari play. With her techniques she aims to develop an understanding and the use of improvisation, making her students actively establish their own identities in rope play, instead of copying others without questioning.
