We had a wonderful time at the Warsaw Shibari Dojo in Poland. Our visit was short but very enjoyable (and a bit exhausting). We hope we’ll be going again soon.

The weekend began with a bit of a shock as when we tried to check in online for our flights we found our return flight had been cancelled. We got an alternative booked but we were worried for a while we’d have to call off the weekend. We got a flight though it unfortunately meant we’d have to get up at 4am to get to the airport to fly back. Still it was better than getting up at 3.30am for the flight out.
Collected by our hosts from the airport and back to his place gives a small glimpse of Warsaw. On arrival we had some tea and then a nap. Yeh I know, it’s the jet set life alright! Suitably refreshed and feeling like I’d been asleep for a year after only an hour, we were in shape to be sociable and have a nice chill out with our hosts.
I have to say we had a very good nights sleep and a special above and beyond mention goes to our host for making us feel so welcome in his home.
Next day a home cooked breakfast and off to the workshop.
The first day of a workshop is always interesting as we never know the levels of those attending especially when visiting somewhere new. There was I think it’s fair to say the largest range of skills in this workshop as any we’ve ever taught. One couple had only just bought rope before attending the workshop and were completely new to shibari, others were well established in their journeys.
All I can say is that everyone made a great effort and there were lots of tired people at the end of the day but they were making good progress.

Shibari show

We performed at (so help me I can remember everything about the place but its name) and did a good show, we had a lot of fun there and there were some very abstract acts and lots and lots of latex in the club. Really a great place, too bad I can’t remember what it’s called. Maybe someone can remind me.
