Shibari didn’t start as liberation for either of us.

It became one - slowly, painfully, honestly.

In this episode with Anastasia (Voudou Ropes) we talk about:

– learning Shibari as women in a male-dominated culture

– the danger of intensity without attunement

– how rope can either traumatize or transform

– why some journeys need storms… and others need lakes

No script. No performance. Just truth, rope, and lived experience.

Anastasia is a Shibari artist, educator, and performer, and the founder of Voudou Ropes, a brand devoted to making rope art accessible, expressive, and deeply connective.
