LIMINAL: Tea & Shibari - The Quiet Fire

À propos de cet événement

You are warmly invited to a special November edition of Tea & Shibari on Friday night, November 27, with Kozy, Leila, and Shibari Artists at LIMINAL in Amsterdam.

As autumn deepens and the days grow quieter, we gather under the theme "The Quiet Fire."

As nature turns inward, the light softens and the pace slows. Outside, the world becomes colder and darker, while within, we are invited to tend to the warmth, presence, and life force that quietly lives within us.

Together, we create a space to pause as the season deepens. A moment to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find warmth within through beauty, presence, and ritual.

Like gathering around a quiet fire as the world outside grows still, the evening unfolds through live Shibari performances that explore themes of intimacy, trust, surrender, and connection.

The Journey

The evening begins with a grounding arrival through an ancient (Mugwort) Tea Ceremony with meditation. Guided by Leila and our wonderful tea serving team, you will be offered multiple rounds of Mugwort Tea, which has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years. Each pour becomes an invitation to slow down, soften, and listen to what’s within and return to presence.

We then transition into the Art of Shibari, a deeply embodied practice rooted in Japan, where rope becomes a language of connection, devotion, and expression. Through the interplay of tension and surrender, structure and flow, beauty and the raw, Shibari mirrors the inner state: the delicate yet beautiful space between holding and opening.

We are honoured to have 4 experienced Shibari performers, making this evening an even more rare and refined experience. Artists will share a few rounds of performances and expressions, bringing multiple layers of storytelling, intimacy, and artistry for the night.

Each performance is uniquely paired with freshly served premium tea (from Oolong to Pu'er) with seasonal herbs that match the vibe, weaving together more sensations into one journey.

As the evening draws to a close, we invite the audience into a live Q&A and open sharing with the artists - a space for curiosity, reflection, and deeper connection.
