A place to slow down, learn, practice and connect.
Rope Land is a Hungarian rope festival that we organize to create a space where you can learn, connect and play in a relaxed, friendly environment.
You can find classes appropriate for your skill level and learn in small groups with the tuition of experienced instructors. You can also attend performances and practice with others, or just kick back and relax away from the noise of the big city.
Classes are organised for 3 different skill levels, so you can find the best fit for your own skills, learn new things and deepen your knowledge of basic techniques with the help of experienced presenters.
Rope is a great tool to find new and exciting ways to connect with other people, or even yourself. We hope to give you opportunities for finding new depth in partnerships you already have, as well as a space to meet like-minded folks and form new relationships.
Practicing alone is important, but for many practitioners, sharing the experience with people who have the same passion for rope is what makes it truly fulfilling. Here, you have the opportunity to do exactly that.
There are many different ways to do rope, many different aspects you can place your focus on, and every practitioner has their own way of going about tying. That's why community can be so exciting: not only can you nerd out about knots, but you can explore different approaches, different dynamics and different styles.
Shibari is an art form that originated in Japan with strict shapes and positions, putting its emphasis on technique, exposure and eroticism. As it gained bigger following around the world, our view of tying changed: in modern shibari, we focus on connection, trust, safety, and clear communication, often mixing traditional techniques with western approaches.

You can join us as an experienced practitioner or as a complete beginner, we'll meet you wherever you are in your rope journey.
Our top priority is the safety of both riggers and models. We foster a space built on trust, consent, and responsible practice, with a strong focus on physical and emotional safety. We believe that clear communication, mutual respect, and awareness of personal boundaries are fundamental both for riggers and models to be good practitioners. While technical skill is important, respect and communication remain the core principles of modern shibari. By creating a safe and supportive environment, we enable exploration, connection, and meaningful dynamics, which is exactly what we strive to provide.
Anna Lysee has been active in the world of Shibari since 2014, both as a model and rigger, and has been teaching and performing across the European rope scene for many years. She is also the lead organiser of EURIX (European Rigger and Model Exchange), one of Europe’s most respected rope gatherings. Anna’s teaching combines solid technique with curiosity about the interpersonal, psychological, and creative dimensions of rope. Her workshops invite participants to refine their skills, explore their own style, and deepen the quality of their rope connections. Known for her warm, engaging presence, she enjoys creating learning spaces that are lively, thoughtful, and full of discovery.
Metusa_Nawa brings the model’s perspective to the forefront of her teaching, offeringinsights into the finer details that shape the experience of being tied. Her feedback goesbeyond technical details, focusing on the physical and emotional nuances that shape arope experience. She pays particular attention to the often-overlooked elements thatinfluence how a tie is felt and experienced, and how the rigger’s intentions translate intothe model’s reality. For her, these subtleties are an essential part of the connectionbetween two people and can transform a technically sound tie into a much moremeaningful experience.Drawing on her experience as a model and educator since 2017, she brings thisperspective into her workshops, encouraging riggers to look beyond patterns, ropehandling, and suspension mechanics. Her teaching explores the less visible dimensions ofrope, opening up new ways of understanding connection and the model’s role in shaping asession. With an emphasis on self-awareness, authenticity, and continuous development,she aims to broaden familiar approaches to Shibari and create space for new perspectivesand shared discoveries.
I'm an Eastern and Western style BDSM (shibari included) practitioner, teacher and stage performer. I've been interested in bondage and helplessness since forever and I focus on giving my partners intense, personal and intimate experiences.
The approach I teach is prioritizing your partner's engagement and satisfying stimulation during a bondage session. The patterns and techniques are important tools that help us play well and safe, but they are just means to an end for me. My goal is to inspire you to get people physically stuck and commited to what you're planning on doing to them.
I started learning shibari 10 years ago by watching educational DVDs, reading beginners books and practicing with friends. Once I experienced a hands-on workshop, which also involved an emphasis on interaction between two bodies and personalities, I saw how much richer a shibari experience can be.
I was fortunate to be noticed by the organizers of a Romanian shibari camp and invited as a presenter. There the Hungarian BDSM conference organizer appreciated my style and welcomed me as a presenter at his event for 4 years. At the HunCon the Danish Kink convention organizer liked my workshops and I've been a presenter in Denmark for 5 years. I've also held workshops for 2 years on a few shibari workshop weekends in Croatia.
The biggest emphasis I put in my workshops is on aiming for connective experience between partners, including arousal of the mind, gestures that keep you focused on the current moment, sensuality, sadism, getting your partner high on endorphins, etc.
My stage name is Kerubiel, I am a rigger in rope I tend to mix traditional basics with more western shapes and positions, although my style is continously evolving as I’m learning more. I’ve had the privilege of learning from multiple teachers in Europe and the USA, and my goal in my education is to study many styles and continue building a practice that is based on safety, efficency and prioritizing my partners needs above any specific technique.
The first and most important thing for me in rope is always to find the most sustainable shapes, harnesses and positions for my partners; I find this to be the most valuable challange one can take on in rope as every body is different, and if we strive for finding the best solutions for a specific body, we’ll always learn something new. However, sustainability and comfort aren’t neccessarily the same thing for me and my partners, and a big part of rope for me is playing with varying levels of discomfort, objectification and power exchange. I tend to put the emphasis on building a flow and focusing on sensations instead of just tying a shape and focusing on the visuals.
I am an active member of the hungarian rope scene, where I organize rope jams, teach workshops and private classes ranging in level from complete beginner to simple transitions in suspension.
My teaching partner is Hyacint, with whom I first started learning rope, and we have built a playful dynamic over the years. Our partnership taught me a great deal about building up sessions, adapting to the needs and preferences of my partner and using that knowledge to challange them in new ways.
