At Shibari Studios, we prioritize the safety, comfort, and well-being of everyone who steps into our space. That’s why membership is required to participate in most group events, open studio sessions, and special gatherings. Membership helps create a secure environment by ensuring that all participants are committed to upholding the principles of respect, consent, and community. Additionally, it allows us to maintain a high standard of trust by conducting annual background checks for all members. This approach fosters a welcoming and supportive space where individuals can confidently explore the art of shibari, connect with like-minded practitioners, and grow within the community.

Most groups and sessions require a membership in order to attend. The first step, before you sign up for a class, is to complete a membership application.

*Certain intro courses and private classes do not require a membership initially. These offerings are designed for those who are just dipping their toes into what rope has to offer and may not be ready for the commitment of a membership. However, attendees for these sessions may still be subject to background checks for the safety of all attendees and the studio.
