Krishnalaya, or ‘the abode of Krishna,’ is situated on the banks of the Eel River, nestled in the coastal mountains and giant redwood trees of Northern California. The ashram is located in Piercy, on the border of Mendocino and Humboldt Counties.

The gurgling river flow and the stunning views of the mountain ranges make Krishnalaya an ideal place for spiritual individual retreats, group camps, and seminars. The ashram houses a beautiful 200-person lecture hall with air conditioning, a state-of-the-art sound system, a big screen television, and multimedia equipment. The ashram lodges 80 people comfortably (9 of the rooms have balconies facing the river), a commercial kitchen, dining hall, satsang hall, and temple shrine.

The weather at Krishnalaya varies year-round. Misty mornings, hot afternoons, and cool nights are typical. Rain is possible throughout. During winter months, there is a lot of rain, but it rarely snows.

Residential fees vary. The kitchen is fully equipped; usage is subject to additional charges. Outside groups are welcome. Groups need to have their own cooking and cleaning staff. Non-vegetarian food, alcohol, and drugs are strictly restricted anywhere on the property.
