Why This Retreat is a Must-Do for 2027:
Go Beyond the Superficial: The retreat is based on the Mangala Sutra, which is based firmly on earth. It is not metaphysical, and you are not required to pray to or believe in any superior beings. The retreat is a mixture of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, teachings and self-discovery.
The 38-principles: The principles are a journey toward personal responsibility and ease of suffering. They are firmly planted in real life. They are down-to-earth and offer simple, straightforward methods for anyone hoping to achieve a life of balance and peace.
Wisdom For a Weary World: In an era of division and distraction, these timeless teachings offer the essential antidote. Cultivate genuine contentment that isn’t reliant on circumstance. Foster a hope that is active and courageous. Learn to meet yourself and the world not with judgment, but with real understanding.
The Master’s Guidance: Lama Yeshe Rabgye is celebrated for his unparalleled ability to make profound Buddhist philosophy accessible, practical, and immediately relevant to modern life. His warmth, clarity, and insight create a space where profound personal shifts are not just possible—they are inevitable.

About Lama Yeshe Rabgye
Karma Yeshe Rabgye is a Buddhist Monk from England. He teaches Mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy, meditation and Sound Therapy in many countries around the world. Yeshe studied Buddhist Philosophy and meditation in a monastery in Nepal for 4 years. He then went on to do many years of retreat and tantric practices. He has studied with H.H. Dalai Lama, H.H. Karmapa and many other Buddhist masters. Although he learned from the great Tibetan Buddhist masters, his Western background forced him to question some difficult elements of the teachings, in particular, to distinguish those teachings that were essential aspects of the path from those that were mere cultural embellishments. He is the author of seven books on Buddhism and spirituality, which stem from this questioning. He has an extremely successful podcast called Buddhism Guide and has a large world-wide following on social media. Yeshe has also taught extensively in Canada, India, Bhutan, Nepal and UK. His teaching is secular and includes both theory and practical exercises. It is Yeshe’s wish to help as many people as possible through his teachings, meditations, mindfulness practices, sound healing and emotional wellbeing sessions.

About The Apple Orchard Farm Stay
The farm is in a small village called Rukhla (2100m) in eastern Himachal Pradesh (HP) in the Indian Himalayas.
Our bit of HP in the east, heading up towards Kinnaur and the Tibetan border, remains fairly untouched – at least by tourists. It is mountainous terrain – some of the highest in the world, up to 6,815 metres – and the lower slopes, such as our farm at around 2100 metres, are steeply terraced for agriculture, with wooded peaks at the top of the valley, and fast-flowing mountain streams at the bottom. Due to the steep slopes and the general lack of modern infrastructure and development, plus the fact that most farms are relatively small, there is very little mechanisation – almost all the work is done by hand, using simple tools. Only quite recently, in the 1970s, was a motorable road built up to Rukhla – before that, everything was carried up and down to the main road below – an all-day round trip. There are many farms and villages further up which still do not have road access. Surprisingly though, given the width, gradient and state of the road, there is a daily bus service to the farm from Shimla.
The farm borders protected forest, which grows up to the nearest peak above Reoghati, a three-hour hike up, from where you have 360-degree views, including the Great Himalayas stretching into Tibet. After Reoghati, the forested peaks stretch away through wild, uninhabited country, as far as the glaciers in the far distance. On clear days you can see numerous peaks of around 6,500 metres / 21,000 feet.
