Welcome to our winter clothing swap on Saturday December 10 at 12-16. The idea is simple: bring nice clothes to share and/or take cool clothes to wear. B–)

You’re also welcome to sit down for a coffee while you wait for new arrivals.

Left-over clothes will be saved for the next clothing swap or donated away. You may also take your pieces back at the end of the clothing swap.

Friends, Lymy turns 7 years and is thriving! We would like to celebrate this with all of you who have come together in Lymy: Acting, hiding, scheming, enjoying and sharing the lust for life in common.

Lymy’s 7-years party is on Friday Nov 25, at 18.00-21.00

We have a special request for the groups who use Lymy: we would be happy if you could say some words, a song, or any other performative element of your choice. It can be in relation to Lymy as a space, more broadly on autonomous spaces in Helsinki, or the situation of current political struggles.

Hope to see us many. 

xoxo,
Lymy

On Monday February 14—ystävänpäivä (Friends’ Day)—we invite you to Lymy at 4-6 pm to join us in casual celebration of friendship, camaraderie and love. Let’s get together to relieve the double isolation that we face: the one we have chosen to slow the spread of the pandemic and the one that has been imposed on us by the many greater forces that are driving us apart.

We will sell vegan coffee drinks and waffles (MobilePay preferred). You are welcome to either eat in (note: limited seating both inside and outside!) or take out. If you are in quarantine and not too far away from Lymy, contact us (on Instagram, Facebook or at lymypaikka@gmail.com) and we’ll try to arrange free contactless delivery! 

“Love and friendship tell us about the value of quality over quantity: the collective body composed of other bodies does not increase its potencia according to the mere quantity of its individual components, but in relation to the intensity of the tie that unites them.” — Colectivo Situaciones
