Seva Retreat at The Elkins Estate is seated on a private 42-acre oasis just outside the northern border of Philadelphia, PA. Designed and built as the summer home of 19th century entrepreneur and philanthropist William L. Elkins and his family. The Estate features two elegant, historic mansions and outbuildings, designed by renowned architect Horace Trumbauer. A gentle stream traverses the grounds and gathers in two tranquil ponds, and the charming rose, mediation gardens and labyrinth offer places for quiet reflection.
Seva Retreat is dedicated to promoting education, health, and community by offering wellness services for all those seeking personal and spiritual growth on our tranquil, historic 42-acre retreat. With this mission of service and wellness, we hope to develop lasting relationships built on mutual commitment to our goals and offer an environment where guests can escape to refresh, renew and gain fresh perspective and focus in their lives while participating in an educational experience. We encourage you to come and visit us in our beautiful new home, take advantage of our diverse class schedule, improve your mental and spiritual health, and become a part of the Seva community.
We welcome you to embrace a deeper sense of well-being by awakening the body, mind and spirit through yoga, mediation, dance, nutrition, massage, energy and Ayurvedic therapy, and preventive health practices.
