Shibari Retreats

Not for the beginners retreat — Shibari Retreat Luxe starts from your very first knot and assumes nothing. The suspension retreat is intermediate: you should already be tying before you arrive. If you are unsure which fits, email us and we will tell you honestly.

No. You can come with a partner or join solo. On the suspension retreat, the solo price includes a professional shibari model dedicated to working with you all week, so you fully participate in every exercise.

On the Caribbean coast of Mexico. The beginners retreat is held at a luxury eco-resort near Akumal; the suspension retreat is held in a private villa near the beach in Playa del Carmen. Private retreats can be arranged at either, or at a location of your choosing.

Accommodation, all meals prepared on site, every class and ceremony, the movement practice, photos from your practice, and access to the online course from the moment your deposit is received. Flights and ropes are not included.

Deliberately few. The suspension retreat takes four riggers — at most 4 couples, 8 guests — with a teacher for each couple during practice, and a private retreat takes up to 6 guests from your own group. Personal attention is the reason the retreats work.

Yes. A private retreat is a full buyout of the format — a high-end private villa, the same team, the same structure — for your group alone, on your dates, with a curriculum built around your level. Private retreats start from $20,000 USD.

Join the waitlist and we will let you know as soon as the next edition is scheduled. If you would rather not wait, a private retreat runs on your dates instead of ours.
