Peer Rope & Jams

Learn ropes and play in Helsinki
Peer Rope is a casual space for peer-learning and play.
It’s a space where we learn from each other. You can attend alone or with someone regardless of experience level, even if you are a total beginner! Is there something you want to learn? Would you like to teach something to others? Or do you just want to play? Come hang out and meet other rope people!
Rope Jam is an event focusing just for playing.
This space is all about play! We encourage everyone to express themselves through their own unique style of play. Rope Jam is not a space for teaching or learning but a place where everyone can focus on their own experience. You’re welcome to join with a plan or without – alone, with a partner, or as part of a group. We do not recommend rope jam for total beginners!

Peer rope & rope jam space specific guidelines
General Information
One organiser is available throughout the evening.
The first aid kit is located at the window, with safety scissors on top of it.
The loan ropes are not suitable for suspension.
Suspension Points: Use only if you know how. Ask for help if needed. Rings and bamboo are available in the space.
Photography: Only allowed during designated photo theme nights.
No genital play, but crotch rope is allowed.
Dress Code: Wear at least underpants. Clothes are required in the lobby.
Space Usage
One side of the space is more focused on peer learning, while the other side is for play.
Give everyone space when they are negotiating, playing, or doing aftercare.
Do not reserve spots if you are not actively tying.
Clean the mat after use with the cleaning spray and a wipe.
Lobby
Non-Rope Conversations: Keep these in the lobby, not in the tying space.
Reading materials: We have materials related to negotiation and nerves on the coffee table. If you are new or tying with a beginner, we recommend going through them.
Event ending
The light signal is at 22:30, indicating that the event ends in half an hour.
You can help us by participating in the cleaning and carrying the things in the storage.
