Workshop: Fly Strong (SOLD OUT)

FLY STRONG a full-day workshop for rope pairs and is designed to (re)build confidence, awareness, and trust in suspension – for both the person tying and the person in the ropes. Whether you’re new to suspension or feeling stuck in your current dynamic, this workshop offers tools to deepen your connection and improve your technique.

We focus on the body in the ropes – its position, movement, and potential – rather than complex patterns or aesthetics. You’ll work on achieving stable, sustainable suspensions through a deeper understanding of rope-body mechanics and clear communication.

This is an ideal workshop for couples who want to:
– strengthen their technical foundation
– overcome fear, uncertainty, or misalignment
– learn to create more comfortable and confident suspensions
– develop stronger partnerships based on autonomy and mutual support

Expect a hands-on day with plenty of guided exercises, feedback, and exploration. Bring your curiosity – and a willingness to learn together.

ABOUT THE EDUCATORS
Gorgone (she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study. Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.
Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences.

She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness.

With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.

The heart of Gorgone’s tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about “rope – on the body” but about “the body – in rope”.

Alma has been modeling in rope for over seven years, with a deep affinity for both dynamic and semenawa styles. She approaches each scene as a space for beauty, intimacy and surrender. Building on her background as a life-drawing model, she brings a sense of creative body expression and conscious engagement to her rope interactions.
