Helsinki Shibari

Helsinki Shibari events are safer spaces

• Leave your ego at the door <3 – This is a safer space for all genders, sexualities, backgrounds, bodies, abilities and switching. Don’t assume others’ identity or history. Racist, sexist, homophobic or other oppressive behavior is not ok.

• Respect others’ intimacy, personal space, boundaries, and closets. Don’t talk about who you saw doing what at the event.

• Ask before touching, and don’t harass even if you want to touch really bad. Give people space when they are negotiating, playing, and doing aftercare, even if they are your best friends.

• Photography is not allowed except on photo theme nights. Anyone has the right to voice their disagreement with taking photos in a space they are in and require not to be on any photos, and this will be respected.

• Do not take any open containers with liquids inside the practice room due to parquet floor.

• Don’t drink (or use drugs) and tie.

• If something doesn’t feel right, please speak up. If you see something that looks dangerous, contact a staff member.

• Share knowledge and get inspired!
