Complete ! - May Dosem at Atelier Mae - D2: Afternoon around self-bondage

About

An afternoon to tie yourself on the ground and try out the basic principles of self-suspension!

The practice of shibari on oneself, often called “self bondage” or simply “self” has its importance in the world of ropes and some have made it a specialty with its rules and its world of play in solo. We all experience it when we tie our first knots and as we learn, the self can remain very useful to progress without a partner. But it is also a practice that allows you to explore the various sensations linked to the ropes on your own body, at your own pace and in control.

The program

1:30 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. // basics of self bondage on the floor

• Learning the single column-tie, sometimes called the “basic knot” of shibari
• Basic principles of using ropes in self bondage: familiarization with handling the rope, discovery of the sensations it can provide and learning some simple construction principles.

The speaker

The workshop will be led by May dosem (she).

She has been practicing shibari since 2015 and has been a teacher and performer for almost as long! Self bondage took a full place in her practice about two years ago, out of a desire for creative and autonomous expression via the ropes and also out of a need to be tied while controlling her sensations. Transmitting this possibility is particularly close to his heart today!

Find her on her website as well as on her Instagram page.
