Saint Raphaela Center is a wonderful SPIRITUAL RETREAT CENTER in a gorgeous parklike setting just…read moreoutside of city center Philadelphia. It's an interfaith "resort" for the soul and spirit, run by progressive Roman Catholic nuns who are are kind, welcoming, and very encouraging of people of all faiths converging on their peaceful, beautiful RESIDENTIAL facility in order to meditate, or pray, for the purpose of refreshing one's spirit and calming one's mind. In May 2013 I attended a 2-night silent "Insight/Vipassana" meditation retreat idirected by Matthew Daniell (of the Cambridge Insight Meditation Society) who had in turn been invited to Haverford, PA by the Phildelphia Meditation Center. Note that non-Catholic retreats are not likely to be listed directly on St. Raphaela's retreat calendar - I suggest you google "meditation retreat + Saint Raphaela" to find a Buddhist-/meditation-oriented retreat scheduled at St. Raphaela . Depending on the retreat program you choose to attend you may be able to get a single room or a shared room. Accomodations are clean, bright and simple - NO frills, but cheerful, quiet and very comfortable. The nuns who run the retreat center are good cooks but don't expect the Four Seasons (the retreat I attended was lacto-ovo vegetarian). Desserts were REALLY yummy. ; )) The grounds are lovely and provide ample personal space for "retreatants" and lots of room for walking meditation. In short, you can experience a truly serene and "life-resetting" retreat experience here that is far less expensive that what you would pay at high price-tag "trendy" places like OMEGA or KRIPALU. Easy to get to from 'center city" Philadelphia by a quick commuter train ride plus a short taxi jaunt, or you can take a cab from the Philly city center all the way for about $45.

Although I am not of this religion, I appreciate the times when it is quiet here and come here to just meditate and pray things that I wish for. I often do not visit during their worship activities yet but probably because I never got the chance to come when there's an event. You can check their history online. I remember before I know about Yelp I had to search for them for the address because I do not know where it was located. I usually came across this temple when I was going through my beautiful drives in Mount Airy & Germantown on the north west edge of Philadelphia. It is such a beautiful area here that after you go to the temple, you can always Mount Airy and Germantown. The Radha Krishna temple is a further downtime street from the intersection with Germantown avenue. There is the beautiful Wissahickon Park of Philadelphia nearby where you can also go for trailing in the woods after you park your car. This is very woody and greens area with occasional streams. There are little shops nearby along Germantown avenue that can be fun and artsy to explore. If you go south towards Philadelphia it will get a bit rough in that it looks urban and if you go more north on Germantown it will get kind of prettier. Enjoy!

First time we saw this temple was in 2016 when I was visiting NJ and now after 6 years I visited this holy place while becoming a resident. That's how times have beautifully changed. The temple is still work in progress with the gopuram still under construction. But the temple's interiors are completed and the deities of the God's look so divine and give you the vibes you expect. The priest is very kind and hospitable. This is definitely a must visit if you are in NJ.
