Hermès Garanger
Producer in the media for nearly 25 years after being the youngest Western "Lama" woman in the world at 19, Active mom, Committed woman, Passionate speaker... and recently Author of the autobiographical book "Lama at 19... And After?"...
"Because it's not always easy to introduce oneself... Because I wouldn't know where to start... Because I am a mix of Lama-Mom-Producer-Speaker and Author... Because I don't like labels and I don't want to fit into any box... Because a few lines are often better than a long speech... I let the back cover of my autobiographical book "Lama at 19... And After?" do the introductions..." Is it because she bears an improbable name, that of the 'messenger of the gods' in Greek mythology? Hermès Garanger seemed, from birth, destined for an extraordinary fate. As a child, she grew up in France, in one of the largest Tibetan Buddhist centers in Europe, founded by her parents, and thrived among the Buddhist monks who taught her meditation. At 15 and a half, she made a radical choice that would transform the rest of her life: to go on retreat for over a thousand days, according to one of the Buddhist traditions. For 3 years, 3 months, and three days, she lived in a 9m2 room, with no connection to the outside world, meditating 14 hours a day, to emerge as... the youngest Western Lama! Thirty years later, now a mother and television producer, she still practices meditation several times a day, which has taught her to manage her emotions and overcome the worst trials. From her travels in India and Nepal, to television sets and the Inserm Neuroscience Research Center in Lyon, where she participates in scientific work dedicated to the powers of meditation on the human brain, Hermès Garanger shares an astonishing life journey. An abundant and autobiographical narrative, rich in adventures and unforgettable encounters, where the Dalai Lama and the greatest Tibetan masters meet Cyril Hanouna or Nicolas Bedos. A lesson in life too, inviting us to seek the key to happiness and well-being in this secret place, but accessible to all through meditation: oneself.

30,000 Hours of Meditation... And After?
Producer in the media for nearly 25 years after being the youngest Western woman "Lama" in the world at 19, active mother, committed woman, passionate speaker... and recently author of the autobiographical work "Lama at 19... And After?"… If I had to summarize my life in 4 words, I would say: "Active Life, Meditative Pause". "Meditative" since my 3-year meditation retreat undertaken at the age of 15 and a half and over 30,000 hours of meditation completed throughout my life. The teams at the Neuroscientific center of Inserm in Lyon have analyzed my brain and studied my reactions and behaviors as part of their research on the benefits that meditation could have. "Active" because after obtaining the title of "Lama" at 19, I decided to return to active life and integrate these long hours of meditation into my professional universe as a producer and speaker, applying these meditative pauses in my daily life. As a speaker and meditation expert, I intervene in the corporate world and share my story with authenticity and sensitivity to make meditation accessible to everyone through a different, modern, and very personal perspective. Passionate about meditation and neuroscience… Committed to the planet and sensitive to animal rights... I share my time between the stage and the field, from conferences to humanitarian actions... Between lightness, simplicity, and freedom… Action, conviction, and determination! Meditation, Neuroscience, Kindness, Coherence, Emotions, Action, Awareness, Trust, Human Relations… These are topics that I constantly adapt and adjust to evolve with the demands in order to best meet the different expectations and needs of companies because the idea is to propose solutions and why not, to provide answers! Some examples of themes: "Active Life, Meditative Pause, the Perfect Balance!" "Kindness is good... Coherence is better!" "Company and Letting Go" "Inner Ecology, Outer Ecology" "What if meditation allowed us to transcend the limits of the mind?"
