I have had an amazing experience during my 4 weeks volunteer at Krishna village. Living in a community with the yoga philosophy, feeling the spirituality environment, around lovely and supportive people made me feel home. I have find a place to clean my mind l, being myself and also meeting so many people which began a family with many different experiences to share. I fall in love with Krishna Consciousness and the village. I'm highly recommend for everyone.

If you are looking for a place to slow down, reconnect with yourself and grow spiritually this is the place. There is a real sense of community not to mention the beautiful ayurvedic meals you get to enjoy. Highly recommend it if you are looking at experiencing the simple things in life.

Another year has passed. It was the end of the year 2021 when I finally could come all the way up to this place (Hare Krishna valley) after a few years of yearning. I originally wanted this place for my year end reflection and solitude but the whole atmosphere is so positive and healing with nature all around and the devotees and other people's energy, you just feel rejuvenated every single day. I did yoga twice a day to expose my body to physical and spiritual healing. Many experienced and upcoming yoga guides helped me understand some postures in detail. They care for your body and look after
