Conscious Shibari
Two-person teaching project that approaches shibari through presence, trust and embodiment, drawing on breathwork and tantra. It runs workshops, small-group and private lessons at Studio Kontakt in Bagarmossen, a two-module video course, and multi-day retreats.
Conscious Shibari is run by Jessica and Christian Haag and is based at Studio Kontakt in Bagarmossen, a studio that can also be rented. The pair combine shibari with breathwork and tantra and present rope mainly as a tool for personal and emotional development. Jessica came to rope through tantra and has concentrated on its therapeutic side; her aim is a space free of performance pressure where people can be themselves. Christian has long experience with breathwork and tantra, has deepened his rope practice in recent years, teaches courses and also works as a shibari photographer.
What it offers
Workshops range from introductions through technique to advanced sessions, and most accept people who come alone as well as those who bring a partner or friend. Private formats include one-to-one sessions with either teacher, shared sessions in which both of them tie and teach, and private lessons. A self-paced online course in two modules uses video-based guidance with instructions, reflections and example sessions; it teaches technique but puts weight on connection, mood and safety, and is aimed at people who see shibari as a practice of listening and trust rather than a catalog of ties.
Conscious Shibari also holds multi-day retreats. A three-day retreat on 6–8 November 2026 at Rasbo Kursgård near Uppsala was open to all levels and explored connecting, letting go and taking control, leading and following, and the physical and emotional sensations of rope. The website and booking pages are in Swedish.
