Testimonials

A PLACE OF PEACE AND TRANQUILITY

One of the greatest gift that I gave myself was a one week yoga retreat stay at Krishna Village. This magical land allows me to connect with my true self and every beautiful being I have met there. I took two days Baliness massage course by Caren and Dee. They are wonderful teachers with special ability to love and heal. I can feel my heart is smiling when I think of them. Everything about it is amazing, the nature, the food, and the people. I left with my mind open and my spirit hight! -Tola S., tripadvisor

EPIC

I visited Krishna Village for a week and attended a Balinese massage course. Both my stay and the course were amazing. The Village and surrounding nature are so peaceful, I felt an enormous calmness as soon as I stepped out of my car. The organisation and the people who live there make you feel at home straight away.

The massage course by Dee and Caren was one of a kind; they are wonderful people and teachers and gave the participants the confidence to massage with their heart. The results were amazing. The Krishna devotees at the Temple are very friendly and open to tell you about Hare Krishna, without judging you if you have other viewpoints. (And they know how to cook delicious food!)

All in all, I had a unforgettable time and would love to visit this special place in the (near) future. -Florian Rath, tripadvisor

TWO WHOLESOME DAYS

I recently stayed at the Krishna Village and participated in the Intuitive Balinese Massage Course and it was amazing. The atmosphere of the Village is calm and relaxed with a great energy in an awesome setting being overlooked by Mount Warning. The accommodation is fantastic (cabin with everything I needed) and the gardens are colorful and tranquil.

The course was perfect and ran for 2 wholesome days with Dee and Caren (course facilitators) being great instructors and awesome people. Whether you are seeking a career in massage, or just want to gain another life skill the course is perfect with a lot of hands on experience. I definitely recommend the course, and looking forward to a career shift.

The vegetarian meals were fantastic and it is such a friendly and inviting atmosphere. Eating at the temple was awesome. Thanks Krishna Village, I will be back with my family next time and looking forward to attending the yoga classes and workshops. - Richard A., tripadvisor
