Corneum

Corneum is a shibari space in Lennik, a municipality that its site places within reach of both Brussels and Ghent. It runs group workshops, rope jams and private sessions, with a focus on technical semenawa and hashira (tying to a post) and side tracks in sensual and tantric shibari. The site does not say when the space opened; the exact address is sent after booking.

The space was founded by Franck Stunn, whom the site presents as an international teacher of shibari and semenawa who also performs and photographs. It gives his experience as more than eight or nine years of rope and more than six years of teaching, and names Naka, Yukimura, Ren Yagami, Soptik and Docvale among the people he trained with.

The autumn 2026 program shows the range. September brought two intermediate semenawa days, one on predicament ties and one titled “Sticks & Stones”, and an advanced weekend on traditional and dynamic hashira. November had a beginners’ tantra shibari class, a rope jam and an Aibunawa day called “Deep Connection”. December lists hashira basics, a jam and a sensual hashira class. A photography masterclass for all levels ran in June. Group workshop participants bring jute or hemp rope or order it in advance; rope is provided at the private introductory workshop.

Private teaching takes two forms: a private introductory workshop for beginners and private sessions at any level. Each begins with an intake talk about boundaries, medical background and expectations. The site says introductory workshops need no prior experience and addresses beginners, advanced students who want specific techniques, and couples looking for connection. It lists heated mats, showers, a small kitchen and parking, and also links to rooms for rent through a separate booking service. Prices vary by workshop and are shown on each listing. The site is in Dutch.
