ABOUT LES ÉDITIONS ATMA
Supporting personal development and spiritual growth is the mission at the heart of Les Éditions ATMA Internationales.
Through books, we aim to create space for reflection, discovery and connection with ourselves.
OUR STORY
ATMA began with Jacques Martel’s own journey: a deep interest in communication and a search for self-awareness that led him to explore personal development.
From his first workshops to his writing projects, this journey gradually took the form of a publishing house devoted to personal development and spiritual growth.
The Centre de Croissance ATMA is founded. Jacques Martel begins leading workshops full-time.
The Centre de Croissance becomes ATMA Inc., marking a new stage in the development of its activities.
April sees the publication of Le grand dictionnaire des malaises et des maladies, the result of a writing project begun in 1991.
THE SPIRIT OF ATMA
The name ATMA comes from Sanskrit and refers to the soul. For our publishing house, it evokes self-discovery and spiritual growth.
In ATMA’s symbolism, this star represents the connection with the inner teacher and spiritual awareness. It expresses the intention behind our work: to invite everyone to explore their inner world.
