THE PEOPLE AT PEACE VILLAGE
​People come to Peace Village looking for a residential retreat experience, an opportunity to unplug from the world and turn their attention to inner reflection and practice.  When they arrive, they are welcomed by those who live and serve at Peace Village.  The Peace Village campus is housed in six buildings on 300 acres of woods and streams in the Catskill Mountains.   The facilities and the spiritual atmosphere of Peace Village are sustained by the residents and by the volunteer servers, experienced yogis, who come in from all over the world to support retreat guests.
