About Krishna Village

Upcoming Retreats at Krishna Village

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.

Weekend retreat
Amenities are good overall. The time table was not published on the website so we didn’t know the schedule beforehand. The yoga classes on that weekend were not the type we like, if we knew it in advance we’d have picked a different weekend.

Food is often not enough for everyone, hence if you’re 15min late for the meals, you’ll most likely get the leftovers.

Retreat area is beautiful and peaceful.

Brilliant value and ethos
I ordered a gift certificate for my brother. It was so seamless, and Krishna provided a gorgeous certificate via email to give. To give the gift of peace and experience is the way forward (we have enough stuff). time to slow down. What a place!! and staff are so kind and helpful.

There’s lots to love about the Krishna Village
I loved my 3rd visit to the Krishna village. My cabin was charming and very comfortable. I loved the yoga classes, the kirtan, the workshops and of course the food.
I enjoy the beautiful people and the stunning property with 360 degrees of beauty and I never want to leave.
My 8 night stay was divine and I loved every minute of it!
It’s well run and the facilities are great. Thanks to all who make it what it is. It’s an exceptional place and I can’t wait to get back there. 😁

Love it here!
My second visit to Krishna Village and loved it again! This land is so beautiful and energetic and I feel very safe and at home. I have been here twice in big rain storms with rising river and bridge which became unpassable. The staff are very organised and prepared and took care of everyone's concerns. Honestly I couldn't think of a better place to get stuck! The people are lovely and the food and nature is divine. There has been some great upgrades to accommodation and I stayed in the new Bunkie this time which I loved. The fitouts and decore are fresh and on trend whether in new or older accommodation. The linens supplied are a lovely quality and cabins are vey clean. I was at the village for 4nts for a workshop. The catering and housekeeping and reception staff kept us well looked after and we loved eating with other visitors and devotees and meeting new friends! Thanks I will be back with my son and hope to do some volunteering in farm or village next time.

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!
