Shibari México
Blue (La Virgen Blue) runs this rope education and community project, with a from-scratch beginner course, themed workshops, intermediate suspension labs, private sessions and online courses. It also sells natural-fibre rope and publishes a calendar of dated events in Mexico City.
Shibari México was founded by Blue (La Virgen Blue), who describes herself on the project’s site as a sex-positive activist and educator. Her biography says she grew up in the desert of the United States, has lived in Europe, Asia and Mexico, and has spent about five years traveling to teach about erotic connection and being tied. It also lists gallery performances, rope work for music videos and films, podcast talks, and training in Kink Informed Treatment. She writes that when she arrived in Mexico she could not find a rope community or a space where she felt safe to practice, so she started one.
The central course, “Shibari desde cero” (shibari from zero), is booked per three-hour class and taken at the student’s own pace, with at least four classes recommended for the basics. It covers harnesses (basic, suspension-ready, dynamic and decorative), futomomo ties for suspension, decoration and floor play, body handling and rope care, with a strong emphasis on safety. Students receive written material, a limits-and-consent worksheet and assignments, and the course ends with a final showcase. It is also available online, and private lessons are given by appointment, including for groups.
The event calendar shows several dated sessions a week in the Santa María la Ribera area. In November 2026 it listed an intermediate lab, a fundamentals class, beginner sessions on semenawa and predicament ties, a rope-tasting afternoon for trying different fibers, and a drawing-and-rope night. Memberships give access to more workshops and practice time. The site also sells natural-fiber and synthetic rope and offers online courses, including self-tying, interpersonal skills, rope storage and a paid module on consent and negotiation (see consent and negotiation). The project says it wants inclusive spaces where people of any body type, with or without experience, can learn alone, in pairs or in groups.
