After a successful career as a business owner, I experienced a profound burnout in 2010, often described as a “dark night of the soul.” This crisis shook everything in my life and pushed me to begin an intense inner quest to understand the mechanisms of the ego, suffering, and what prevents us from living in peace.

Faced with chaos in my social and family life, I had started meditating regularly since 2012 to find some semblance of inner calm.

Not believing that death was the end, I unconsciously knew that neither natural death nor suicide was the solution. And yet, I could no longer bear this world.

It was during this turbulent time that I began to have my first mystical experiences…

At the beginning, it was difficult to meditate, I couldn’t stay longer than five to ten minutes, as my body and thoughts would constantly pull me back into the world. But soon, it became easier and easier. I found great satisfaction, peace, and even inner joy in it, a joy I didn’t fully understand at the time. I increasingly felt deep peace and love within me for longer and longer periods.

I started joining several meditation groups in Las Vegas, and I felt perfectly at home there. I would spend long hours in the silence of my inner peace, surrounded by beautiful beings from all walks of life, all sharing the same goal: inner peace.

Soon after, I began offering my own meditation classes. These were not based on ancient techniques learned from books, but on the teachings I received directly from within during my long meditation sessions.

Little by little, I was invited to participate in shamanic ceremonies, first with Ayahuasca, then with psilocybin (magic mushrooms), which quickly became my preference and a powerful complement to the daily meditation I continued to practice.

Years of Exploration and Transformation

At the end of 2012, I organized my first spiritual retreats. Over the years, I have facilitated more than 200 shamanic ceremonies following the “White Path”, respectfully integrating therapeutic tools now recognized by science (particularly psilocybin used in a sacred and safe space). These experiences have helped many people heal deep wounds and reconnect with their true essence.

In 2017, I had a major Samadhi experience: a revelation in which the veil of illusion was torn away. This realization of the Self transformed my life and naturally led me to teach non-duality in a clear and direct way.

Today

For over 12 years, I have accompanied thousands of people through private coaching, masterclasses, satsangs, and retreats, both in person and online. My approach is both deep and practical: I help you dissolve repetitive patterns, calm the mind, and rediscover the unconditional peace that is already present within you.

I do not offer a complicated or dogmatic path, but a kind, non-judgmental accompaniment that adapts to your own rhythm and daily reality.

My Commitment

Today, based in France, I continue to guide those who feel a sincere calling toward greater inner freedom, clarity, and authentic joy.

If you feel it is time to move from an intellectual quest to a lived transformation, I am here to accompany you with presence and dedication.

With kindness,

Ananda Laurent
