About Krishna Village

Mission & Vision

As an eco yoga community set on an organic farm, the Krishna Village endeavours to provide the blueprint of a simple, mindful, spiritually based lifestyle. By allowing our guests to share this experience, we propagate a wholesome (in Sanskrit: sattvic) and sustainable lifestyle that is good for all living beings and conducive to a joyous and loving attitude.

For the last few years we have been developing the Krishna Village from a completely volunteer based farming community to a retreat space for people focused on their personal development and spiritual growth. Staying at the Village will allow you to be immersed in a beautiful community of spiritual seekers from all over the world who are coming together with the intention of sharing their gifts and talents and supporting each others\' learning and growth. Rather than providing a scheduled retreat program, we offer a range of classes and activities from which you can pick and choose. Thus, you are able to create your own experience and adapt your activities to your individual needs.

Society at large is becoming increasingly disconnected: more and more people suffer from stress, burnout, fatigue and chronic illness. The happiness that lies in simple experiences like feeling the grass under your bare feet, digging your hands in the soil or sitting with friends around a campfire under the stars has become a distant memory. At the Krishna Village, we aim to create such a space. So take your time, breathe, reconnect to yourself and re-evaluate your life and your priorities. To support you, we invite you to experience:

The simplicity of life on an organic farm

A delicious vegetarian diet

Beautiful yoga and kirtan sessions

Personal growth through meditation and Life Coaching

A peaceful and deeply spiritual temple atmosphere

If you look at the big wisdom traditions of the world, you will notice that certain values have being cherished throughout the ages, across time and space. It is our intention to live true to them and bring them out in ourselves and others:Love: friendship, kindness, loving service and care for the Divine and all living entities: humans, animals and plants alikeWisdom: respect, curiosity and open-mindedness, spiritual practice and personal developmentBalance: sustainable living, an equilibrium between work, rest and play, giving and receivingCongruity: aiming to align body, mind and soul, honoring our individual qualities and our personal soul journeyGratitude: acknowledging the gifts we receive abundantly from the divine, mother nature and those around usSo get ready to slow down, connect to yourself and experience the sattvic way of life!

Venue & Amenities

Nestled in the foothills of Mount Warning, in the heart of the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, our Hare Krishna Farm “New Govardhana” is a beautiful 1000 acre property with orchards, organic veggie gardens, cows, horses, streams and swimming holes in abundance.

From the moment when you cross the rustic wooden bridge over the Oxley River and pass through the beckoning avenue of trees which comprises the entrance to the farm, you will notice that this Vedic Yoga Sanctuary is a special place and that your soul finds peace and a sense of coming home.

New Govardhana serves as an ashram to a community of yogis who aspire to live according to their deepest vows and commitments on their path of service, spiritual contentment and happiness (Bhakti Yoga). Their service and dedication make this location a beautiful place of growth, healing and spiritual awakening.

Apart from immersing themselves into their spiritual lives, the devotees also run a school, a cow protection program, big organic gardens and orchards, and an infinite number of yogic festivals and retreats throughout the year. In this context, the Krishna Village serves as an outreach program, inviting retreat guests, course participants and spiritual seekers from all over the world and all ages to participate in the farm\'s activities and experience a simple, happy and wholesome lifestyle.

Simply perfect!
Krishna Village is a beautiful community and retreat to tap into when I need re-grounding and some rest. The location, accommodation, food, classes and workshops are all great. It's a well-run facility with a beautiful community, not pretentious or overly expensive.

Great stay!
Our little escape to that wellness retreat was pure magic, honestly. Tucked away in rolling hills, the place felt like a hug from nature itself with its cozy cabins and flower-lined paths. For our one-night, two-day stay, we were treated to incredible vegetarian dishes every meal—like creamy mushroom risotto and vibrant rainbow salads that tasted as wholesome as they looked. Mornings started with gentle yoga overlooking misty valleys, followed by steaming herbal teas and heartfelt chats by the fire. It left us refreshed, lighter, and already plotting our return.

A Peaceful & Soul-Refreshing Getaway
Our stay at Krishna Village was truly pleasant and deeply rejuvenating. My wife and I were looking to step away from the rush of daily life, and Krishna Village turned out to be the perfect destination for that. The calm environment, natural surroundings, and overall energy of the place instantly brought a sense of peace.

The yoga sessions and other classes were very helpful and meaningful. They gently reminded us to slow down, find inner peace, and reconnect with love and purpose in our lives. Each session felt thoughtfully guided and left us feeling lighter and more grounded.

The food was another highlight of our stay. Everything was delicious, nourishing, and prepared with care. As my wife is Vaishnav, the meals perfectly suited her dietary and spiritual preferences, which made the experience even more special for us. This was truly one of the best parts of the trip.

Overall, Krishna Village offered us exactly what we were seeking—peace, simplicity, and a deeper connection with ourselves. We’re grateful for the experience and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mindful and relaxing retreat. 🙏
