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.

Peace and reconnection, holistic health and community life
The activities, including yoga, meditation, and sound healing, are always so profound and calming, it helped me reconnect with myself. The food and interaction with people are also a big plus. I've already gone a few times with a day pass and plan to volunteer for longer. An incredible experience!

Volunteer program one month stay
I am so incredibly grateful for the Krishna Village for allowing me to have spent time in such a spiritually inspiring, nature-filled and freeing place, and to have crossed paths with everyone in the community.
I’ve learned so much and felt deeply inspired by all those I had the pleasure of chatting with and getting to know, and by the foundations of The Hare Krishna Village.

Laugh a little or a lot
I found all of the activities to be fully inclusive and accepting, even of any resistance or difficulties. Every level of ability was catered for.
I found people to be cheerful and helpful.
And then there was Laughter Yoga. I am normally a bit resistant to these things and slow to trust. However, I did not make it past the second giggle in the room and I didn't stop even after the session finished. What a bond it created and this was evident by the immediate smile that arose when I saw other participants even days later.
After the session I was talking to someone about it and noticed that I was incredibly loose and relaxed. It is hard to notice when something is not there and it took a moment to realise, as I spoke, that I didn't have any of the long standing, regular aches and pains that I had experienced for a long time. I was amazed. So busy laughing and snorting I hadn't noticed the breathing, relaxing, moving that was going on. VERY therapeutic. Thank you Max. No lower back pain and able to sit on the floor comfortably....... really helped me attend all the other yoga too.
