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.
