Shibari in Sweden
One long public record of Swedish rope events is the calendar of Stockholm Kinbaku Studios, which reaches back to 2016. It lists meets of Peer Rope Stockholm from 2016 onward, mostly on Fridays in the early years and still running as mini-editions in 2025, alongside the studio’s own beginner courses, themed rope parties and the Kontraster series at Fabriken in Spånga in autumn 2026. The same calendar lists sessions of Queerknyt, a member group within RFSL Stockholm for queer people who are curious about or already practice rope, built on mutual, enthusiastic consent. The Stockholm guide describes these and the city’s other teachers in detail.
Courses that travel
The calendar also shows teaching moving out of the capital. It lists beginner courses in kinbaku and shibari in Gothenburg and Norrköping in October 2016 and dates at the Fair Erotica fair in Nacka from 2016 to 2018. In 2026 the program included a semi-suspension course in Sundsvall in February and a semi-suspension workshop in Småland in April.
The west coast
Gothenburg has a dedicated rope space of its own. Nawa Studio, in a workshop space on Ringön, has a 60-square-meter main room with suspension points, connected to a floor-work and landing room, plus a small café and a lounge area; it says it was created out of a wish to build a rope community in the city. It runs courses, workshops and open rope evenings, among them Queerrope GBG, a social evening for queer kinksters with paid tickets and a few community-funded places at no charge, and a book-club series; its site is in Swedish and English. North of the city, Shibaricamp is a summer camp in Bohuslän devoted to teaching and practicing rope in a community-minded setting, open to beginners and experienced people alike; its 2026 edition was announced for 3 to 9 August.
How it fits together
Stockholm holds most of the regular courses, peer meets and queer groups cited here, while Gothenburg and the west coast add a studio and a summer camp, and courses from the capital reach towns further north and south. The wider European story is told in Kinbaku in Europe. For what to expect at a first session, see What happens at a first shibari class.
