SACRED THREADS
A Women's
Shibari
Journey
SEPTEMBER
25-28
2025
Cultivate the polarity within.
Find your softness, and lean into surrender.
Trust your structure.
Explore what’s beyond the familiar.
This is an invitation to meet yourself through the art of conscious rope.
To feel the dance between holding and being held.
To awaken the silent language of the body—where presence becomes pleasure, and stillness becomes power.
What to Expect
Over this weekend, you’ll be guided into the world of conscious rope—not as a technique to master, but as a living practice of self-discovery.
Through ritual, slowness, and intentional touch, we’ll explore:
— The art of surrendering into rope
— How to create and hold presence, both for yourself and others
— Practices that awaken your inner polarity: the interplay of structure and softness
— Deep witnessing, conscious communication, and safe co-creation
— The pleasure of being seen, felt, and held without performance
— The sacred stillness that can arise when the body is bound and the mind can rest
You don’t need to know anything about Shibari to join.
You don’t need to perform, prove, or do it right.
This is not about roles.
It’s about listening to your body, your boundaries, your breath.
We’ll create a circle of trust where you can be fully you.
Curious. Nervous. Excited. Turned on. Tender.
All of it is welcome here.
Who is it for?
This retreat is for women who feel called to explore Shibari as a path to embodiment, self-awareness, and inner polarity.
You don’t need any previous experience with rope—only a willingness to meet yourself with presence. Whether you come alone or with someone you trust, you’ll be welcomed into a space of deep listening, where sensation, breath, and slowness guide the journey.
Over the weekend, we will explore rope in different ways: solo practices to connect with your own body and breath, paired experiences that invite trust and surrender, and group explorations where witnessing and being witnessed become part of the practice. It’s not about roles or performance—it’s about tuning into your truth, in each moment.
This retreat is held by and for women. We welcome those who identify and move through the world as women. If you’re unsure whether this space is right for you, we invite you to reach out.
To participate, you should feel comfortable with physical closeness and have a basic sense of your own boundaries. We’ll support you in honoring your “yes,” your “no,” and your “maybe,” creating a container where safety and curiosity can coexist.
Whether you are completely new to Shibari or are seeking a more sensual, grounded, and intentional approach to rope, this retreat invites you to explore tying and being tied as a practice of presence, connection, and self-discovery.
Your Guide
Karen Schov
Tantric Pleasure Goddess
I am passionate about Pleasure! Walking barefoot in the grass, living life at my very own pace. Creating space for life to flow through me and out to the world around me. The switch from “dedicated corporate slave” to a life as a passionate ever exploring Tantrica, working as a Pleasure Coach and a Tantra Therapist, has given me back the spark. Given space for meaning to flow back into my life and my work. Dedicating my life to embody authenticity and unlocking still higher levels of truth, joy and love, embracing all this that comes with being alive.
I am devoted to creating calm, warm spaces where people can feel safe to show up in their full vulnerability and maybe dear to lean into curiosity. Finding that courage inside of you to move out of comfort and expanding the way you experience life. In addition to private sessions, I host workshops, goddess circles and retreats, building community and creating a sense of togetherness.
I have been inspired by rope work for about 10 years and have felt deeply the connection it can bring, both to a partner and to the experience of life within my own being. I love the sensation of leaning into the rope wether it is held by me or hands and the rope of another as well as over and over again being mesmerised of the sensation of holding space for others to surrender into my arms and experience new sides of themselves.
THE LOCATION
A night of indulgence, a night of devotion
As the sun sets on our sacred space, we gather in softness. The air is scented with roses, the touch of silk, the taste of something sweet. We slow down, savor, and surrender to the pleasure of presence. A space where touch becomes poetry, where every sense is invited to awaken.
And when the moment is right, a stage opens—a wishing circle,
a portal for expression, offering, and witnessing.
Are you ready to step into the night?
