Biography of Ananda Laurent

Laurent Ananda is a holistic therapist whose journey resonates as an invitation to break free from the illusions of the ego and rediscover peace and unconditional love.

For over 12 years, he has been guiding wounded souls on their path to healing, drawing on the teachings of A Course in Miracles, ancestral shamanic practices, and tools such as true forgiveness.

His path, marked by significant milestones, is that of a man who chose to transform his own life to illuminate the lives of others.

It all began in 2008, when Laurent, then seeking meaning, embarked on an inner journey to understand the mechanisms of the ego and the illusions that keep us trapped in fear and separation.

This period of deep exploration led him to discover A Course in Miracles, a spiritual text that would become the foundation of his teachings. Fascinated by its principles, particularly the dissolution of the ego through forgiveness and the return to love, he immersed himself in this path with total devotion.

In 2012, Laurent took a decisive step: he began organizing his first spiritual retreats. These initial gatherings, modest yet filled with heart, marked the beginning of a mission that would see him facilitate over 200 shamanic ceremonies in the years that followed. These retreats focus on the "White Path" a respectful and spiritual approach to the use of entheogenic plants. These experiences allow participants to dive into their inner truth, release their wounds, and reconnect with love.

The year 2015 was a turning point for Laurent. He discovered and integrated true forgiveness, a practice inspired by the teachings of Jesus (A course in Miracles) and Buddha, which became a cornerstone of his guidance. This process, aimed at dissolving mental illusions and traumas, proved to be a powerful tool for accelerating spiritual awakening.

Laurent began teaching it during his masterclasses, offering participants a concrete method to transcend guilt, fear, and judgment. That same year, he expanded his reach by offering more structured workshops, where he explored unconscious blockages and guided participants toward lasting peace.

In 2018, Laurent started collaborating with other realized teachers, enriching his retreats with a collective dimension. These collaborations, blending various spiritual approaches, created even more powerful spaces for transformation. He also diversified his formats by offering online retreats, making his teachings accessible to an international audience. These events, whether in-person or virtual, attracted participants from around the world, all seeking a return to unity and love.

Between 2020 and 2022, Laurent intensified his commitment by developing themed webinars, which gained increasing success.

These online sessions, often recorded for on-demand access, allowed a broader audience to benefit from his teachings. He also deepened his work on the power of miracles, a key concept of A Course in Miracles (ACIM), which he integrated into his guided meditations and workshops. These years were marked by a collective awakening: more and more people sought to break free from the illusions of the ego, and Laurent became a go-to guide for their journey.

In 2023, Laurent launched a series of immersive retreats in various countries: Portugal, Guatemala, Peru, Switzerland, Mexico, and Spain.

These retreats, combining meditations, shamanic rituals, and in-depth teachings, became profound moments of transformation for participants. He also introduced more regular sharing circles into his programs, allowing participants to express themselves and forge deep connections, further strengthening the sense of unity.
