Biography of Laurent Ananda
and the Discovery of the Self
To know what I Am, all you need to do is discover what you truly are.
Because what I Am, you already are. All is One.
We are neither different nor separate.
Of course, every character has its own story. Here is Laurent Ananda’s:
After a successful career as a business owner, Laurent experienced a profound burnout in 2010, often referred to as a “dark night of the soul.” This crisis called everything into question and pushed him to begin an intense quest to understand why things were not right in this world.
Becoming a citizen journalist from 2012 onward, Laurent created the website stopmensonges.com, which revealed what was hiding behind the scenes of this phenomenal world that he still believed, at the time, to be reality, a world in which he saw himself as a mere victim.
Faced with chaos in his mental, social, and family life, Laurent began meditating in 2012 to regain inner peace.
At first, it was difficult. He could barely stay in meditation for five to ten minutes, as his body and thoughts would constantly pull him back into the world. But soon it became easier and easier. He found great satisfaction, peace, and inner joy in it, sometimes spending long hours in inner silence and the tranquil peace of an empty mind, effortlessly.
In 2014, the white shamanic path, also called the “Christic path”, appeared in his direct experience. This took his meditation to deeper and deeper levels, bringing mystical experiences he had never imagined possible.
The Transition: From the Outer World to the Inner Kingdom
Having traded his business suit for the robes of a yogi, he also began offering his own meditation classes. These were not based on ancient techniques learned from books, but on the teachings he received directly from within during his long meditation sessions, as well as during ceremonies (meditations with entheogenic plants) that he started facilitating in Las Vegas, where he lived.

In 2017, Laurent experienced a major Samadhi, a revelation in which the veil of illusion fell away. He realized that he had never truly been “Laurent,” the main character with whom the mind had identified, nor the imaginary world he had believed in, which dissolved in the light of pure Spirit. This realization of the Self completely transformed his life and naturally led him to teach non-duality in a clear and direct way. What he had discovered, he now wished to share with all those who were seeking it.
Today
For more than 12 years, he has accompanied over 1,500 people through private mentoring, masterclasses, satsangs, and retreats, both in person and online. His approach is both deep and pragmatic: he helps dissolve repetitive patterns, calm the mind, and rediscover the unconditional peace that is already present within each of us.
He does not offer a complicated or dogmatic path, but a kind, non-judgmental accompaniment that adapts to the pace and “daily reality” of each individual.
His Commitment
He continues to guide those who feel a sincere calling toward greater inner freedom, clarity, and authentic joy.
If you sense that it is time to move from an intellectual quest to a lived transformation, what passes through Laurent can help you achieve this.
The only goal truly worth pursuing in this world.
After 12 years of experience and having guided more than 200 ceremonies, the most beautiful testimonies I receive are reflected in the light that shines in their eyes and the heartfelt smile of those who trusted me, placed their faith in God, and embarked on the inner journey to discover their true Self.
