Welcome, kindred kinksters and curious creatures, I am Mistrix Cleo Kali - Kink Witch, Ritualist and Eco-Eroticist. Tall, tattooed, and ornamented in leather, My arresting aesthetic compels absolute surrender, though it is My incisive imagination and conceptual finesse that ensures your enduring enrapture. My style is intuitive, intentional and artistic, one of softly spoken sadism and exquisitely creative cruelty. I value poetry, potency; I craft catharsis elegantly. Experienced and eloquent in the erotic outer-edges with a sophisticated palate for pain, Mine is a spectral seduction, wrought with a kaleidoscopic command of mediums. More than once, My sessions have been described with the word ‘gesamtkunstwerk’, a German term translating to ‘all encompassing artwork.’ Scenes with Me span the spectrum from conceptual and symbolic to gestural and asemic - the violet iodine-staining of semantic space the true synthesis of My Dominance style. Meaning may indeed be fluid, obscured, but it will always be centered in My sessions. Expect to breathe properly. Expect to explore the contents of your consciousness with Me. I do not use the term "Kink Witch" lightly. I am not a Dominatrix one should chose to simply sate their still-latent fantasies, I am a Dominatrix who will expand and interrogate every desire that shivers from seed, evolving, eroding and corroding according to My vision. I am not interested in your orgasm, I am interested in your awakening. With an almost-decade of sessions under my well-flexed leather belt, and an influence now crossing three continents and counting, I am highly skilled, fluent in fetish and exceptionally adept at coaxing devotion. I work only within the limits of RACK (Risk Aware Consensual Kink,) and I am open to all cultures, genders, sexualities and ability levels - a statement meant not as an empty platitude, but as a genuine ongoing commitment to inclusiveness, education and awareness in My practice. I completed the Touching Base Professional Disability Awareness Training for Sex Workers in December 2019, and make ongoing efforts to educate myself about the intersections of disability and kink, however I recognise that I am unlikely to consistently and reliably identify where I may be lacking without input from those with lived experience. I encourage and appreciate suggestions on how to ensure My offerings are more accessible.

Saara Rei is a workshop facilitator and performance artist with a background in music, dance, education, and public speaking. Saara's work generally centers around the exploration of suffering, both physical and emotional. Through their kink practice, Saara has come to understand that suffering comes from the comparison of what has been or could be to the present moment. And with that, Saara enjoys teaching about how to use suffering as a path to presence and enjoyment in life. Having a Ph.D. in mathematics, Saara’s academic experience adds an intellectual flair to complement their performative approach to bodywork. Playfulness and humor make up a big chunk of Saara's personality and approach to life, giving their workshops a very exploitative and light atmosphere, even while approaching some of the heaviest of topics.

Sensual, slightly rough floor rope ties… I bring with me many years of building a background of conscious bodywork, psychotherapy, and dance. I am fascinated by what makes us tick, what brings us pleasure, how we blur the lines between pleasure and pain, both physical and emotional. Rope bondage brought me the closest to a state of total vulnerability, a merciless mirror of our lights and shadows (especially of what we are afraid to admit we love).

What is Shibari?
Tying the knot never sounded better.
Shibari (meaning 'to tie' in Japanese) is a form of Japanese bondage art that involves tying and restraining a person using intricate and decorative patterns of rope. Today it is often a popular activity within the world of BDSM. In BDSM, Shibari practitioners, sometimes referred to as 'riggers' or 'rope artists' derive pleasure not only from the artistic side of shibari but also from seeing their partner tied up- just as the person being tied (the 'model' or the 'bottom') derives sexual pleasure from being restrained.
What makes it hot?
Shibari has gained more attention in the Western world for it’s aesthetic beauty. It’s seen by many as a very tasteful form of BDSM, with the ties and the images of people tied thought to be beautiful, and strikingly elegant. The careful process of Shibari can also be a tantalising sexual build for both the rigger and the model.
Shibari emphasiSes both restraint and artistic expression, setting it apart from more utilitarian forms of bondage.
Safety is crucial. Beginners should start with basic ties, attend workshops, and prioritise communication. Always have safety shears on hand to quickly cut the rope if needed, and regularly check the bound person's circulation.
Shibari can be both sensual and artistic. The process of tying and being tied fosters a unique intimacy. Practitioners often focus on creating beautiful and comfortable ties that enhance the overall sensory experience.

DO
Learn your stuff: Be it through workshops or online tutorials, Shibari takes a lot of work.
Respect the model: They are also an important part of the creative process. Listen to them and don’t push their boundaries.
Practise with a pro: Try Shibari with somebody experienced in the practice.
DON'T
Go in hard: Start with easier knots before shooting for the crazy stuff.
Assume that the vibe is sexual: Shibari isn’t always associated with BDSM.
Share without consent: Don't share any photos or videos of your work without consent of the model.
