Your guide
Marie Sauvage
Shibari master and rope artist
Marie Sauvage is a Shibari master and one of the leading artists in the world of rope.
Over the years, her work has evolved into a ritual of mindfulness, subverting traditional power dynamics and making rope more accessible, especially to women. Her approach centers intimacy, tenderness, trust, and connection.
For Marie, Shibari is both an artistic expression and a collective ritual that invites people to embrace emotion, pleasure, and deep human connection. @marie.sauvage
