Tantra meets Shibari - 3 Days Retreat (Pentecost)

Tantra Meets Shibari – A 3-Day Embodied Initiation

with Aaron Kleinerman & Bina Taverna

Saturday – Monday | Full Immersion Retreat in Zurich

There is a place where devotion meets rope.

Where breath meets restraint.

Where power becomes prayer.

Where surrender becomes art.

This is not a workshop about technique alone.

This is a living temple of embodiment.

For three full days we enter a somatic, relational, and spiritual initiation into the weaving of Tantra and Shibari — not as separate traditions, but as one continuous field of consciousness, polarity, and presence.

This retreat is an invitation into felt experience — into the intelligence of your body, the truth of your nervous system, and the sacred geometry of power and surrender living inside you.

Here, rope is not just rope.

It is intention.

It is prayer.

It is a structure that allows life-force to move.

Here, Tantra is not philosophy.

It is breath, sound, sensation, eye contact, trembling, opening, and the courage to be fully alive in your body.

The Field We Enter

Shibari is an ancient ritual language of power, trust, containment, and surrender.

Tantra is the science of awakening life-force, polarity, and divine union.

Together, they create a living field where:

• dominance becomes conscious

• surrender becomes devotional

• containment becomes safety

• arousal becomes presence

• connection becomes medicine

This retreat is designed to awaken your capacity to hold and surrender, to lead and open, to penetrate and receive — not only in rope, but in your relationships, your intimacy, and your life.

You will be guided through somatic rituals, embodied polarity practices, breathwork, partner work, and rope ceremonies that open deep layers of the nervous system, the heart, and the soul.

This Is Not About Performance

This is about:

• learning to feel

• learning to listen

• learning to trust your body

• learning to become a safe and powerful presence

• learning to surrender without collapse

• learning to lead without force

We move slowly.

We move consciously.

We move with reverence.

You will be supported to meet your edges with compassion, curiosity, and grounded embodiment.

You Will Experience

• Somatic practices that awaken your erotic life-force

• Nervous-system regulation & consent-based power dynamics

• Breath, sound, movement and ritual

• Polarity activation & devotional surrender

• Rope as a language of presence, not performance

• How to embody dominance and surrender safely and consciously

• How to weave rope into intimacy, ritual, and daily life

• How to create relationships rooted in polarity, trust, and aliveness

• How to let rope become a spiritual technology

• How to bring sacredness into your erotic life

Who This Is For

This retreat is for you if:

• You long to live more fully in your body

• You are curious about sacred power and conscious surrender

• You practice Tantra and want to embody polarity more deeply

• You practice Shibari and want to root it in devotion, presence and nervous-system safety

• You are ready for a transformational, grounded, embodied initiation

• You want your intimacy to become a spiritual practice

You do not need to be an “expert.”

You only need a body, a breath, and a willingness to meet yourself.

Yet, this weekend is going to be transformative and people who have already done some work in the field can go deeper. 

This is a remembrance.

A return to your animal, your heart, and your soul.

A place where rope becomes prayer, and intimacy becomes ritual.
