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.

I spent three nights at the village and came home very grounded light and full of energy. The staff and the people there are amazing. It’s a beautiful part of the world and I look forward to going every month for a weekend to stay aligned. I’m so happy to have you up the road and thank you for making it affordable for people like me. Can’t wait to come back see you soon.

Retreat stay
I much enjoyed my stay at Krishna Retreat. My cabin was very nice with a comfortable bed with beautiful fresh white cotton sheets.

I just wish there was a remote control to regulate the room temperature.
The classes were varied and I was able to pick and chose the ones that suited me.

The whole property is so beautiful and peaceful. I wish there were a few more walking trails ie. a short cut from cabin to yoga hall instead of having to drive.

At the end of my stay I had the most amazing massage by Maddie. Cannot recommend her highly enough…thank you Maddie!

Thank you to all the teachers and volunteers for creating such a wholesome, nurturing & nourishing experience! Namaste! 🌺

Relaxing & inspiring
We had a lovely short stay at Krishna village. We stayed in the Bhakti guest house which was nice and minimal but modern and well presented.

There’s quite a bit of walking from here if you prefer not to drive on your stay, as it’s up a steepish hill. We didn’t mind but had to drive at times so we didn’t miss appointments or yoga classes.

Ayurvedic Massage therapist was very good. I feel revived even though it was only a short weekend stay.
Would like to come back again.
Recommend the cow tour on Saturday. The bulls are impressive.
