adorned & adored
sacred threshold rituals with ropes & plants
Shibari as Ritual
An Experience of Sacred Celebration for Individuals, Lovers or Groups*
There are times in life that call for special celebration, for a sacred pause - a moment to honour who you are becoming, and to leave behind what is no longer aligned.
Being witnessed in those potent moments of threshold can be profoundly liberating. This is an offering for those desiring to be honoured, adorned, and fully seen as they step into the next version of themselves.
*Group rituals are focused on 1-2 people being adored, tied and adorned, while the other members of the group act as sacred witnesses (e.g. for birthday or bachelor/ette celebrations).
An adornment ritual that celebrates you for exactly who you are in this moment.
Let the rope caress, hold, worship and unravel you… and allow the plants to reveal the undeniable beauty of your belonging to the Earth.
The Details
Each Adorned & Adored Ritual is a co-creative custom experience that will be designed based around your personal vision and desires. As the Ritual Artist, I can join you in your celebratory space, or I can create the entire ceremony from scratch.
Are you dreaming of curating an elaborate, decadent experience for a loved one? Or simply have a sweet, quiet ritual just for yourself? Let’s talk!

What To Expect:
✢ Prior to the ritual, we will communicate about desires, limits and boundaries, which allows me to design the most aligned experience
✢ Before doing any rope tying, there will always be an in-depth check-in and consent discussion to ensure that boundaries, needs and desires are fully clear for everyone involved
✢ Opening of the ritual space; invocations, setting intentions, cleansing with herbal smoke or sprays; herbal teas or elixirs
✢ The ritual unfolds in its unique magical way: Gentle introduction of the rope, moving into tying and adorning, fully present with the intention; feeling and being witnessed. The untying is an integral part of the experience.
✢ Closing of the ritual space. The last 10-15 min are reserved for aftercare, reflection & integration
✢ I will check in with you the following day via email (this is part of my aftercare).
The Plants
As an eco-sensual Ritual Artist and trained Herbalist, I cultivate deep relationships with the plant realm. I intuitively weave plants and herbs into rope rituals in multifaceted ways:
Sensory
Let your senses be ignited and engaged through eco-sensual sensation play - exploring the magnificent variety of textures and scents that nature offers!
Artistic
Allow yourself to be adorned with flowers and plant allies as you are tied in rope - be made into embodied art, honour your relationship with a special plant, or simply celebrate the beauty of nature and YOU!
Medicinal
Herbal potions, sprays and smoke offer grounding, nervous system & heart support, cleansing, and further indulgence of your senses!
Spiritual
Honouring plants as whole beings with a spirit, calling upon their magic and energetic protection, making offerings, and cultivating reciprocity and allyship.
