Venue
The workshops of Soga Shibari take place at Club Soguita Shibari, a venue in the Almagro district of Buenos Aires.
Taller Kaishi
Soga Shibari’s regular public offering is the “Taller Kaishi”, an introductory intensive for people with no previous contact with shibari. Listings on Kinky Vibe show it running from at least April 2024 to late 2026. The course takes place over two four-hour days in a group of eight to twelve people and is taught in Spanish. It uses a switch format: every participant both ties and is tied. The first day covers ties on one’s own body and on another person’s; the second is given over to practice and exploration between participants, and the days must be taken in order.
The program begins with a short history of shibari and with safety in risky practices, body handling and anatomy, then moves to single and double column ties and named ties such as ipponawa, agura or futomomo and waki sarashi, and finally to combinations of them; the listings note that the content may be adjusted to the group. Ropes are provided for the sessions, and bookings are secured with a deposit of half the fee.
Alongside the workshop, Soga Shibari sells jute rope and offers private and live rope sessions.
