Hi, I’m Dan Carabas,
a multidisciplinary artist with a background in fashion and editorial photography and film. Before rope became my medium, I worked with the human body through the camera. Today, I work with it through Shibari. In 2024, I founded SHIBARI STUDIO BERLIN in Berlin-Mitte: a dedicated space for presence, connection, surrender, and letting go.

My art is temporary. I use rope to create sensations, emotions, and altered states within the body. Like a wave, the experience rises, moves through you, and fades. The process is the work. There is no final goal and nothing to achieve, it is about being rather than doing.

My signature offering is the private Slow Shibari session: an intimate, meditative experience designed as a deep mental reset for a life that rarely stops. Nothing to perform. Nowhere else to be. Just the rope, your breath, and the gradual release of control.

Slow Shibari is my own approach, rooted in Aibunawa — the “caressing rope”: slow, tender, deliberate, and deeply attentive. No previous experience or partner is needed. Only the wish to slow down, feel, and be held in the moment.

I also offer Tantric Shibari workshops for couples, as well as private tuition in Shibari and Kinbaku.
Every experience is grounded in clear communication and explicit consent.

Are you looking for your first Shibari experience — something slow, profound, and emotionally immersive rather than performance-driven?

Then this might be the right fit for you.

My qualifications

11–15 years of experience

Twelve years working with rope, since I moved from Paris to Berlin. Today I teach what I call "the art of Shibari with intention" and hold private sessions and workshops from my studio in Berlin-Mitte.

Education and training

Twelve years of study with internationally renowned masters — my first teacher Nicolas Yoroï (Yoroi-ryu), Felix Ruckert's contemporary Shibari at IKSK Berlin, and the acclaimed rope artist Hajime Kinoko. Ongoing research at the international EURIX convention since 2023 participating twice a year.

Career highlight

I've been invited to teach my own style as a presenter at EURIX, the international Shibari convention in Berlin, in October 2026. A former fashion and editorial photographer and filmmaker, I now work as an artist in rope — transforming the body into plaster casts as a meditation on transience, shown in exhibitions and live performances.

FAQ

What is a private Slow Shibari session?
A one-to-one session where I guide you into rope as a form of deep rest. No performance, no goal — just slowing down until your nervous system finally lets go. Most people come to escape a busy mind and leave feeling reset, lighter, and more present. No experience needed.
Who is this for?
Anyone carrying a full, fast life — professionals, creatives, overloaded minds — who wants to genuinely switch off. Also couples wanting deeper connection, and rope enthusiasts ready to go deeper. Curiosity and consent are all you need.
Is this sexual or explicit?
The sessions are intimate and sensual by design, but not a sexual performance. Everything is governed by explicit consent and your personal boundaries; you control the pace and level of intimacy throughout.
Do I need a partner or any experience?
No. Private Slow Shibari sessions are one-to-one with me — you come exactly as you are. Couples workshops are for two.
How does a session begin?
Every session opens with my Session Mindmap: a visual tool I created to guide our conversation before any rope touches skin. Together we move through the eight dimensions a session can hold, from rope space and connection to polarity and surrender, vulnerability, sensual energy, playfulness, and chosen challenge. So we can name your intentions, your curiosity, and your boundaries clearly. It turns the pre-talk into something tangible: a shared map of what we want to feel together, and a gentle reflection on everything a session can offer.
How do you ensure safety?
Safety is the ground everything else rests on. Beyond the Session Mindmap and a clear check-in about your boundaries, every session includes agreed communication signals throughout. I teach injury prevention and never progress to advanced or suspension work without proper assessment.
Do you provide ropes and equipment?
Yes — everything is provided. I use high-quality natural jute, singed and oiled, ready to use. You can also purchase your own rope set to take home.
What should I wear?
For the best experience, wear something playful and easy to move in — like underwear, a lungi, or a sarong. The sensation of the ropes on bare skin can be quite powerful and intimate.
Where do sessions take place?
In my private studio in Berlin-Mitte. Couples workshops and private tuition are available here too.
How does payment work?
Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive your personal session link with all the information you need and several online payment options, including PayPal.
