It’s a wrap!
Shibari Haven Retreat 2026 was a real JOURNEY!

The amount of knots tied, the kilometres of rope that went through so many hands, tons of delicious food consumed, hundreds of hugs shared, countless hours of deep and meaningful talks, thousands of pictures taken, hours of videos filmed, dozens of “rope kisses” bruises on our skins – it’s impossible to count them all.

New connections and new friendships made new relationships that were a true and unexpected gift – we can’t stop buzzing about it and already making plans for visiting each other around the world.
One person said to me – “Kasia, I will end up a bankrupt, now that I have to fly to Helsinki, to Berlin, to Poland again to visit all the amazing teachers and attend all the upcoming workshops” – I will make sure that you won’t go hungry this year after you end up in bankruptcy after all your travels 😉

I would like to thank all of you who travelled all the way to Poland, to the middle of nowhere to experience something new, deep, and allow yourself to be. To some people it’s a real challenge to be able to trust, to let go, to try an unfamiliar – and I am incredibly proud of everyone who challenged themselves and allowed for new to enter into their lives. Your excitement, hunger for knowledge, and gratitude for our teachings were fuel to our workshops.

Endless Thanks to our teachers, Saara, Swen, Jowita, Kasia, who shared with us years of experience in their fields and passion you have for your work.
We all could see a reflection of your teachings in the eyes of this year’s attendants – and it is truly priceless!

So many emotions held , so much laughter and so many tears shared.

The amount of knots tied, the kilometres of rope that went through so many hands.

New connections and new friendships made for so many of those who were attending the retreat.

I would like to thank all of you who travelled all the way to Poland, to the middle of nowhere to experience something new, something deep and challenge yourself.
Thanks to you all, your hunger for knowledge, your curiosity, your passion, it was a truly unique event, like no other I ever attended.

Thanks to you, our teachers, El , Beatrice , and Kasia, were able to share years of our experience, knowledge and passion for our work with you – your excitement and gratitude for our teachings were fuel to our workshops.

Thank you for helping me to create protected environment for learning and growth. Dedication you both have for your profession is truly remarkable.

Massive thanks to Agnieszka for being with me throughout the moment the idea was born, and for your trust when letting me host this event at your magical venue. Thank you for your support, help and hugs and ongoing positive attitude.

Thanks to Fox for lending me gear, helping with rigging, taking beautiful pictures and overall support.

Huge thanks to Anastasia for being best supporter ever! Storing gear I was bringing to Poland over past 6 months, helping me with train tickets, giving me shelter, feeding me when I couldn’t think about food, and holding me when I was falling.

Thanks goes to Krzysztof Slomkowski aka Migawki z Puszki, who took the most beautiful pictures at our retreat. It’s impossible to chose best ones to share, because all of them are the best! Your attitude and friendliness, as well as your professionalism made everyone feel safe and relaxed. Thank you!
