At the invitation of His Eminence Archbishop Leo and Metropolitan Ambrosius, we will be meeting in the wonderful setting of Sofia Cultural Centre at Lähdeniemi Källviksudden. This is on a small sea peninsular north east of Helsinki and only a short distance from the airport. Sophia is also the residence of Metropolitan Ambrosius as metropolitan bishop of Helsinki.
Participants will be housed either at Sofia Centre itself or at the nearby Best Western Hotel with transport provided between the two centres (although it is possible to walk if you prefer). As far as possible we will try to meet your requests for shared or single rooms.
Towels are provided in rooms but please bring your own toiletries. All meals will be served on site at Sofia Cultural Centre and we will be meeting in the Centre’s modern auditorium and in several smaller seminar rooms.
All participants should be met at the airport and driven to the monastery but just in case you need to get there by taxi the address is :
Kulttuurikeskus Sofia, Sofiapalvelut Oy, Kallvikinniementie 35, FI-00980, Finland
Tel: +358 10 277 9102
Wireless internet connection is available for participants (free of charge) in several areas of Sofia but it’s use is strongly discouraged during working sessions.
