Join Stef as sits down with Simon Bedard, Co-Founder of the Finca Pinguino Yoga Farm who made the life-altering decision with his wife Soa, to leave their comfortable life in Canada and embark on a profound adventure to Ecuador.
In this episode, Simon reflects on the pivotal moment when they realized that an inner voice was nudging them toward change. Leaving the familiar behind, they undertook the daunting task of uprooting their lives and settling in an entirely new world because it wasn't the life they had envisioned for themselves and their future family. The challenges they faced were immense, from adapting to a new culture to finding the perfect community that resonated with their vision.
Their journey took a dramatic turn when an earthquake in 2016 shook the very foundation of their dream. Instead of being deterred, they found strength in the face of adversity, confirming their unwavering commitment to their dream: to stay and rebuild.
Today, Finca Pinguino stands as a living testament to their perseverance. The farm not only flourishes but also draws people from around the globe who seek solace, connection, and purpose. Volunteers flock to participate in this extraordinary adventure, and visitors leave with a renewed sense of self.
What sets Simon apart is his authenticity and genuine love for his family, the land, and the environment. His story underscores the importance of heeding that inner voice and the incredible outcomes that can emerge when you do.
