Juhani Koivumäki: Temptations in Silence - What I Learned on Three Monastery Journeys — Keskustakirjasto Oodi, Helsinki

What happens when a pleasure-loving artist retreats to monasteries in search of peace? Juhani Koivumäki shares experiences from three monastery journeys: a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, a Christian retreat centre in France, and Mother Amma's ashram in India.

The event takes place on Tuesday, 1 September at 18:30-19:30 on the 3rd floor of Helsinki Central Library Oodi, on the Saarikoski mat. Organizer: Kirjapaja.
