Biography of Ananda Laurent

Laurent Ananda is a non-duality teacher whose journey resonates as an invitation to free oneself from false beliefs in order to rediscover unconditional peace and love.

For over 12 years, he has been guiding those who wish to free themselves from suffering, drawing on the non-dual teachings he himself received through his path of awakening: meditation techniques, introspection, yogic practices, and direct teaching via the white shamanic path.

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

It all begins in 2008, when Laurent, then in search of meaning, embarks on an inner journey to understand the mechanisms of the ego and the illusions that keep us in fear and mental separation.

This period of exploration translates into intensive meditation practice, which becomes increasingly profound, until he becomes a meditation teacher in the United States where he was living.

In 2012, Laurent takes a step forward: he begins organizing his first spiritual retreats. These initial gatherings, modest but filled with heart, mark the beginning of a mission that will see him lead over 200 shamanic ceremonies over the years. These retreats are oriented towards the "White Path" shamanic approach, a respectful and spiritual use of Psilocybin, whose therapeutic benefits are now officially recognized worldwide (see article: https://www.ichoosepeace.love/the-beneficial-effects-of-psilocybin-what-science-says).

These experiences allow participants to dive into their inner truth, release their wounds, and reconnect with love.

The year 2017 is a turning point for Laurent; he experiences his first Samadhi (revelation or lifting of the veil), as if lifted by an invisible force beyond this world. Since then, he has testified to this realization of the Self during Satsangs and has become a recognized French-speaking teacher of non-duality.

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

Between 2020 and 2022, Laurent intensifies his commitment by developing thematic webinars, which meet with growing success. These online sessions, often recorded for on-demand access, allow a wider audience to benefit from his teachings. He also deepens his work on the power of miracles, which he integrates into his guided meditations and workshops. These years are marked by a collective awakening: more and more people are seeking to free themselves from the illusions of the ego, and Laurent accompanies them on this path.

In 2023, Laurent launches a series of immersive retreats in different countries: France, Portugal, Guatemala, Peru, and Spain. These retreats, combining meditations, shamanic ceremonies, and in-depth teachings, become major moments of transformation for participants. He also introduces more regular sharing circles into his programs, allowing participants to express themselves and forge deep connections, thereby strengthening the sense of unity.
