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.

Calming and relaxing
I recently stayed for a 3 night retreat and enjoyed joining in the yoga classes, Kirtan sessions and informative talks. I also booked a massage with Elisabeth which was amazing. The accommodation is quite basic but my bed was comfortable and showers were hot. The meals which were served in a communal kitchen area were not only nutritious but very tasty and of course vegetarian. I highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking to just do it! I could easily have stayed longer.

Divine Zen 🧘‍♂️ 🙌
Friends and I recently visited Krishna Village for the second time in a few months. It is that good !! It’s a perfect retreat for a destress and to reset your nervous system, while immersing yourself in the beautiful Hare Krishna culture and people 💜 We love the “bunkies” small single huts, and the amazing program includes everything needed to ground your soul with many different yoga styles, and beautiful lessons to quench your self development and spiritual journey. The many pampering treatments are also a beautiful relaxing option. Reluctance to leave at the end , and so very zen!!

Cannot recommend the Krishna Village enough!
As soon as my friend shared our special the village was to me a few years ago I knew I needed to go...although I could only swing a day trip I'm so glad I went! It was the most magical day with the most beautiful people! As soon as I crossed the wooden bridge I knew I was coming home. From the sunrise yoga to the beautiful food it was a day filled with connection and alignment. I will be back and for longer!

Awesome! Better than expected
This is the perfect place to unwind, relax and mix with genuinely beautiful, kind and deeply grounded people.

I stayed in one of the little cottages which was perfect for me as I needed solitude, peace and quiet. I stayed 3 nights and attended many of the workshops and yoga classes and came home feeling very happy and content and so grateful that I chose this place for my quick break.

I will definitely be back. The food, accommodation, staff, devotees and really everything about it was truely awesome! Loved it!!
