Our story
It begins with a dream of a kinder place.
Earth Seva Foundation is being created as a mountain sanctuary — a peaceful retreat where people can reconnect with nature, rediscover their inner strength, and live simply among gardens, lotus ponds and animals. This is the beginning of that journey, and we would love your company on it.
A retreat built on stillness and service.
We are not opening the doors of a finished place. We are planting it — slowly, deliberately, and in good company. The first work is land, gardens, and the daily rhythm of meditation, seva and shared sattvic meals.
Everything is offered in the spirit of seva: service without expectation of return. As the sanctuary grows, so will its care — for guests, for the surrounding mountain community, and for the rescued animals who will call it home.
The journey ahead
A founding circle forms around a simple dream: a mountain sanctuary for healing, seva and simple living.
Securing land in the mountains — space for gardens, lotus ponds, a kitchen and quiet.
First gardens planted, a sattvic kitchen lit, and rescued animals welcomed onto the land.
Doors open to guests for meditation, healing retreats and seva — and care extends to the wider community.
