Inspired by her recent years evolving between two little diverse communities in Montréal and Aruba, and passionate about co-creating solutions between individuals from different social, cultural and economic contexts, Sophie started the grass-rooted initiatives The Windsong Project and IMC for Peace and Family. IMC for Peace and Family offers  programs and retreats meant to democratise peacemaking, celebrate and enhance  the already existing mediation processes in local and indigenous communities, and bring a more natural and family-oriented humanistic approach to international mediation.

 

By taking a dive into diverse intimate realities with trust and transparency, mostly with the help of artists, healers and local peace activists, the social entrepreneur was inspired to create a new kind of cultural awakening based on universal values and good music. The Windsong project is the Peace and Arts twin of IMC, with an annual festival and artist residencies in Aruba and Montreal. Headquarters are situated at The Core of Aruba, a local cooperative initiative. www.thecoreofaruba.com Bérubé also co-founded in 2017 the organisation CAP to help families and judicial institutions fight against parental alienation. The emergency booklet she conceived for parents dealing with difficult separations helped more than 7000 families and  all the proceeds helped the foundation activities.
