retreat description

There are moments in a woman’s life when words no longer suffice — when the mind has said enough, and only the body knows what still needs to be felt, expressed, and released.

This retreat was born from that space — the sacred threshold between who we have been, and who we are becoming. Through the art of Shibari, we enter a living meditation — one that awakens presence, vulnerability, and the power of embodied connection. An experience for the woman ready to feel herself completely. This experience is not about performance. It’s about returning to your essence — the primal, intuitive, and sensual current that lives beneath the surface of your everyday self.

Through guided rope rituals, movement, breathwork, and somatic exploration, you’ll learn to use the rope as a mirror — to witness the places within you that long to be held, expressed, or freed.

Whether you come seeking to release grief, reconnect to your body after trauma, reignite your sensual energy, or simply rest in your truth — the rope becomes your teacher.

Persephone is a Shibari artist devoted to the art of connection through rope. Her approach weaves together sensuality, somatic awareness, and spirituality — creating spaces where rope is not just technique, but a language of trust, presence, and self-discovery.

When she ties, she's interested in the alchemy of energy between bodies: the subtle shifts in breath, the emotional landscapes that surface, the nervous system attunement that brings safety and surrender.

Her style is rooted in:

● Connection before technique — rope as a way of communication

● Presence & embodiment — attuning to the body’s wisdom and expression

● Sensuality as medicine — awakening pleasure, play, and creativity

● Healing through surrender — holding space for vulnerability, release, and transformation

● Sacred rituals — creating ceremony with nature and with our spiritual path

For her, Shibari is an oracle — a way of asking questions through the body and receiving answers through sensation, energy, and trust.

She guides women, men and couples into this art with gentleness and depth, balancing the beauty of form with the freedom of expression, always honoring the sacredness of the rope journey.
