Philia Center

Philia was created by the Spiritual Luminary, Teal Swan. Her vision was to build a retreat where people could awaken, heal and come alive in an atmosphere that is centered on human connection. In Ancient Greece, there were four words for love… Eros, Agape, Storge and Philia. Philia stood for deep friendship and affection. It represented a mutual heart to heart connection that gave rise to fondness between people. Aristotle considered philia to be a necessary ingredient for happiness. He was quoted as having said, “no one would choose to live without friends even if he had all the other goods”. Philia is an epicenter for sharing some of the most advanced spiritual knowledge, practices and programs. At Philia, we also cater to your physical health with nutritious and invigorating vegan meals that limit the contribution to suffering on our planet.
