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.

Heaven on Earth
I recently spent 2 nights on my own at Krishna Village. I booked a cabin with ensuite. The room and facilities were perfect, the views amazing, the bed was very comfortable. The staff and other guests were very friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful. I also had a wonderful massage with Silvia at the wellness centre. Silvia was kind, knowledgeable, experienced and took the time to really listen to my concerns prior to the massage. It’s a beautiful neck of the woods and I came home feeling rejuvenated. Strongly recommend to anyone wishing to destress. I’ll be back, excellent value.

Joyful and Peaceful
This is my fourth visit and they just keep getting better. I have stayed in various levels of accommodation and this time treated myself to a cabin. I must admit it was nice to have my own bathroom although the communal bathrooms are cleaner than the ones I’ve encountered in other places. All the accommodations have beautiful views and are comfortable in their own ways but the cabins really are a fabulous treat.

The food is amazing…nutritious and delicious with good variety and I don’t even notice the absence of onion or garlic even though I cook with them most days at home.

The yoga classes are my main focus and this time I really appreciated the new 6.30am class…coming from Qld the 5am classes were always a bit of a struggle to get to. There’s a great variety of teachers and I always thoroughly enjoy the classes because I love all the different styles. If you are an absolute beginner make sure to tell the teacher…to my mind the classes suit someone who has some yoga experience but the teachers are all so lovely that if you are a beginner then they’ll go out of their way to look out for you and make you comfortable.

I’m not religious so don’t tend to bother going to the other classes but I have a friend who likes to check them out and she always gets a lot of insight from them. She also highly recommends the kirtan which happens most days.

As I said to the 2 friends who visited with me this year - my tummy is sore from all the laughing and my heart is exploding thanks to all the deep & meaningful chats…Krishna Village has been a magical place once again

Fantastic experience
From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome. Every person there, guest, worker or volunteer, are so helpful, kind & welcoming. The food is generous, and so tasty. The location itself is breath-taking, with glimpses of Wollumbin when the clouds clear, the place has such a special air about it. The yoga is a great mix of strong, gentle, breathwork & meditation, plus the additional talks and sessions are well worthwhile going for. I would highly recommend anyone to visit this place, even just for a few days, just to unwind and destress.

Thanks 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!
