Honne Dojo
A Madrid rope space built around authenticity and privacy that hosts Sunday shibari jams open to every level, orientation and gender, plus themed workshops. Past workshops include bamboo tying, semenawa for LGBTQIA+ people and rope dominance for women and gender-dissident tops.
Honne Dojo is a small rope and play space in Madrid with a tatami floor, presented by its organizer as a new space for adults. The name and logo, a blue tulip seen from the inside, are meant to stand for a place where people can be themselves without social pressure or shame. The dojo puts safety and respect first and connection second, and it pays particular attention to privacy: first-time attendees have to contact the organizers for verification before buying a ticket, event photos are used only for posters with credit, and anyone pictured can ask for removal.
Its regular format is the Sunday shibari jam, an open session in which people can tie, be tied, watch, draw or practice, with no partner or minimum level required. Some jams are hosted with guest riggers, among them Scarlatana. A bamboo-tying jam called Invasión Panda was run with the Barcelona rigger Valls, and a futomomo lab paired an hour of exploration with a jam.
Workshops cover a wide range: self-bondage for all bodies at beginner and semi-suspension levels, semi-suspension and self-suspension days, a full-day workshop on rope dominance for women and gender-dissident tops, a semenawa workshop for LGBTQIA+ participants led by Scarlatana, and an eight-hour suspension and instability workshop with Guinju Gaijin and model gato for couples with basic experience. Beyond rope, the space has hosted cuddle parties and consensual play-fighting on the tatami.
The dojo addresses an inclusive audience across experience levels, body types, orientations and genders, with some workshops reserved for specific groups. Its public channel shows posts without years, so the current schedule should be checked with the organizers; tickets are sold through an online ticketing platform.
