Recognizing an evolving global interest, the Shawnee Institute embraces the positive effects of the well-being sciences on the human condition.

​

In a bucolic 200-acre setting along the Delaware River in Shawnee on Delaware, Pennsylvania, the Institute is located on the campus of the historic Shawnee Inn - 70 miles from New York City and 100 miles from Philadelphia.

​

Here we house globally recognized researchers, teachers, and practitioners - leaders who teach individuals and groups to lead productive, flourishing lives; and trainers who train yet more trainers to bring the measured, repeatable, and scale-able science of well-being to schools, institutions, private and public sector organizations, and governments.

​

Here we bring together world class thinkers and scholars in combination with current empirical data to address critical global issues.

​

The Shawnee Institute is close to the city and yet a world away…on the Appalachian trail, bounded by mountains and two islands within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area – a huge National Park, in a river valley where humans have thrived since Paleolithic times.

 

We offer classrooms, conference rooms, a business center, a theatre, on-site top notch accommodations and farm to table dining for groups of all sizes. Other amenities include a handcrafted brewery, world-class golf, skiing, tennis, an indoor pool, fishing, kayaking, tapped Maple trees, an apiary, extensive working gardens, guided hikes, bonfires,…the list goes on and on.

The Shawnee Institute - an ecosystem for human progress.
