Rock and Rope with Zamil
My podcasts all have a mission and that is offering a glimpse into people involved in an alternative lifestyle. We all have something to learn from each other and at the end of the day, we are not so different from mainstream people after all.
Today, the topic is Japanese rope bondage with European rope star, Zamil, who studied Shibari in Japan with Osada Steve.
Zamil was a popular presenter at Shibaricon, one of the biggest international conventions in the world devoted to lovers of the beautiful style of Japanese rope bondage, Shibari.
Lucky me, I managed to attend all of his classes. As an instructor, he was exacting, precise, and very patient. I think Zamil really loves Shibari. It’s a sensuous and erotic foreplay using rope as the conduit. As for his style, I’d say speed, fluidity, and ‘connection’ are three words that come to mind. Why speed and what is ‘connection?’ He’ll say so in the interview.
I asked Zamil if a book was written about him, what would the title be? After a few moments of thought, he said, “The title would be my life’s vision: Balance, Freedom, and Ecstasy, surrounded by a circle to indicate that all three need to come together and unify. This is what I find in rope.”
Enjoy.
