About Peace Village

A nonprofit volunteer community for learning and contemplation, nestled in the serene Catskill Mountains.

A Sanctuary for the Soul

For over 20 years, Peace Village has operated as a nonprofit volunteer community dedicated to spiritual growth and inner peace. Set upon 300 acres of pristine grounds in the Catskill Mountains, we offer a refuge from the noise of modern life.

We are proud to be part of a global network of 15 retreat centers maintained by the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization, united in the vision of fostering a world of profound peace and shared humanity.
