My career path has been truly unconventional: After years in advertising and publishing, I became a chef! It was an incredible experience to cook in such extraordinary settings – from the top of the Eiffel Tower to luxury cruise ships, and at large trade fairs where, by the end of the day, you realize you've served over 1,000 people… But while nourishing people with food is one thing, how do we nourish ourselves on a deeper, spiritual level? Alongside my work as a chef, I discovered Zen – a true revelation! After my first Zazen session, I realized: This was what I had been searching for all these years. Now, after 15 years of practice, I can say that Zen has profoundly changed my life. Over time, I was ordained as a Zen monk. But I wanted to go even further: to share my knowledge and pass on these meditation practices. That’s how I discovered mindfulness, trained in MBSR, and eventually dedicated myself entirely to teaching secular meditation. On this journey, I have had the privilege of working with "Mindfulness Solidaire", offering meditation-based programs to people who would otherwise have little to no access to them. This has led me to teach meditation in prisons, university hospitals, social enterprises, healthcare centers, and many other unexpected places.

Justine Chabanne

Author

A psychologist specialising in corporate psychology, Justine has always aimed to help both individuals and groups to become aware of what already works for them and to use this as a foundation both to succeed in difficult situations and to flourish. It was when she met Ilona Boniwell, a global pioneer in positive psychology and CEO of Positran, that Justine became convinced by a scientific approach that supports and enhances her own practice. In her work as a consultant for Positran, Justine support individuals and organisations seeking positive transformation through scientific and positive tools. Justine is trained in MBSR, and has practised meditation every day for five years. Together with Ilona, she is very proud to create a Petit BamBou programme combining these two highly complementary disciplines. The experience of mindfulness allows the practitioner to become mentally and physically aware of the benefits of positive psychology's interventions and concepts. This makes it possible to reinforce your individual talents, favour social links and offer yourself greater presence and commitment in your everyday life, increasing your well-being both in your professional and private lives.
