Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild

Ben Fogle crosses to rural western France to meet Mark, a former international tech salesman who abandoned his corporate career after a health issue prompted him to rethink his life. Inspired by a decade in India, yoga and Eastern philosophies, Mark spent six years transforming a derelict pig farm into 'Fantasy Farm' - a sustainable home and sanctuary where nature, creativity and simplicity are at the heart of daily life. Mark hopes to create a place where people can escape convention and truly be themselves. As Ben helps, he discovers how Mark's difficult past has shaped his vision for the future. With strict rules and a growing programme of yoga and wellness retreats, can 'Fantasy Farm' become the inclusive sanctuary Mark has always dreamed of, where nature, creativity and belonging can come together?
